# Governance

Operating as a DAO, the Uplift community is able to engage as actors of governance, making joint informed decisions on a variety of proposals.

Community discussions are being held on [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/r67UphBVEz). The voting on the proposed ideas takes place on the gasless decentralized platform [Snapshot](https://snapshot.org/#/upliftio.eth).

Staking Power is required to participate in voting. Your voting power depends upon the amount of Staking Power generated from locking your LIFT in a staking contract.

What is required for a proposal to be accepted?

In order for a proposal to pass, it has to be supported by the majority of votes (>50%).
