# CAIRO DAO - GOVERNANCE

**CBANK holders control the ecosystem. The more CBANK you own, the greater your influence in the ecosystem:**

The CBANK token is a governance token. CBANK holders will have access to participate in the Cairo Finance Network as an instant governance and DAO voting.

DAO governance decisions can range from allocating Treasury funds for a particular proposal to deploying a new protocol on the Cairo Finance ecosystem, and everything in between.

All participants in the DAO are working towards a common goal: Creating a decentralized infrastructure, owned and governed by the DAO.

**Core** - proposals posted by the Cairo Finance team. The results will be actioned.

**Community** - proposals posted by the Cairo Finance community. These are used to propose ideas and show the communities point of view. The team reviews every community vote and will often pick any great ideas and designs with strong community support up to the coming product releases and/or core voting proposal level.

To submit a proposal or participate in a vote, you must have at least $10 CBANK deposited in your wallet. (Funds will always stay there). The more $CBANK you have, the bigger your voice.

Voting power is calculated based on a snapshot taken on the snapshot block. Therefore, purchasing or depositing more $CBANK after the proposal is posted is not going to increase the voting power for that particular proposal.

## 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://cairofinance.gitbook.io/cairo-finance/cairo-dao-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.
