# Introduction

## Mission and Values

> As we strive for decentralized governance, the DAO will set clear guidelines on proposal creation and voting through the governance process for each phase.&#x20;

The operational framework will provide better transparency to the community and clear the path for public contribution and decentralized processes.&#x20;

As we go forward, we must gauge security concerns, consensus roadblocks, fair participation and other barriers like high transaction costs.&#x20;

We are always learning new methods of decentralizing governance, and these must be considered as even the top DAOs are constantly upgrading.&#x20;

Being restricted to Snapshot and multi-sigs for the time being limits decentralization but still allows for a secure, accessible and sometimes more efficient voting process.
