# DAO for Governance

#### DAO for Governance

The Hash Network employs a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) to govern key aspects like pricing models, contract upgrades, and dispute resolution. Inspired by the Ethereum Name Service (ENS) DAO, it ensures transparency and community-driven decisions.

**Governance Structure**

* **Community Participation:** Token holders vote on proposals, influencing network development.
* **Proposal Submission:** Members propose changes and upgrades.
* **Voting Mechanism:** Votes are weighted by tokens staked.
* **Transparency:** All decisions are recorded on-chain.

**Key Functions**

* **Pricing Models:** Adjusted based on community input and network conditions.
* **Contract Upgrades:** Overseen by the DAO with community approval.
* **Dispute Resolution:** Managed transparently and fairly.

**Content Protection**

* **Moderation:** Includes AI-driven detection of harmful content, community reporting, and transparent decision-making to maintain network integrity.

The DAO ensures the network evolves with community input, enhancing the Hash Network's resilience and security.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://hash-network.gitbook.io/hashnetwork/core-concepts-and-architecture/dao-for-governance.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
