# For DAO members

{% hint style="info" %}
**Good to know:** for `Lara` token holders, the tokens do not, in any way or form, grant access to the accrued commission the protocol collects for regulatory reasons. `Lara` is a governance token that provides holders the right to participate in governance decisions, propose ideas, and vote on important changes within the ecosystem. Your voice matters, and with **$LARA**, you have a direct say in Lara's evolution.
{% endhint %}

## :man\_factory\_worker: Be an active user

To propose educated ideas, you should be an active user of the protocol. However, this does not limit other **$LARA** holders to participate in the DAO's lifecycle. Therefore, we highly encourage the users of the protocol to accrue **$LARA tokens to be able to stand up for themselves in voting.**

## :construction\_worker: The decision-making process

The process is going to be pretty straightforward:

* We'll be using an official communication channel to enable proper community collaboration: Discord -coming soon.
* We'll be using an official token-gated voting tool: Snapshot - coming soon.
* We'll be registering the details of every proposal voted on in a public place: GitHub - coming soon.
