# DAOs

## About

<table><thead><tr><th width="226">Use Case Category</th><th>Use Case Scope</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>DAOs</td><td>This use case involves a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) leveraging cross-chain capabilities to enable governance across multiple blockchains.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Description

**Key Stakeholders:**

DAO Participants

**Story:**

1. The DAO deploys voting contracts on high throughput chains.
2. Participants can vote on proposals with no or low transaction fees on these chains.
3. Voting results are relayed back to the core governance contracts on the main chain.
4. The DAO can also govern smart contracts deployed across multiple chains.
5. Changes to contract parameters are seamlessly propagated across chains.

**Postconditions:**&#x20;

The cross-chain DAO provides censorship resistant on-chain governance across multiple blockchains, increasing participation and flexibility.

## Example

***

Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) could leverage cross-chain interoperability to enable on-chain voting on one or multiple higher-throughput blockchain networks, with the results then relayed back to the higher-cost blockchain network where the protocol’s core governance contracts exist. This would incentivize greater participation by decreasing the transaction costs for DAO participants while still maintaining on-chain transparency and censorship resistance for each participant.

Furthermore, a cross-chain DAO could govern and modify the parameters of smart contracts across different blockchain networks in a seamless manner, expanding the scope of what can be governed by token holders within one or multiple on-chain environments.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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://qualitax.gitbook.io/interop/use-cases/daos.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.
