# Governance

The **Shogun DAO Governance Framework** establishes the principles and processes for member participation, decision-making, and the role of the Shogun AI Agent in supporting the DAO.

***

**Member Participation**

* All members of the **Shogun DAO Dojo** (21k staked tokens) have the authority to:
  * Submit proposals.
  * Vote on new ideas.
  * Implement approved initiatives.

***

**Voting System**

* **Platform:** Voting will be conducted through [Snapshot](https://snapshot.org), a platform trusted by leading DAOs such as Arbitrum, ApeCoin, and Aave.
* **Initial Guidelines:**
  * All buy or sell recommendations over **$500** require a **YES vote** from the DAO.
  * Initial voting periods are capped at **8 hours**.
  * Votes that fail to reach quorum will **expire** at the end of the voting period.
  * Voting periods will vary based on the **amount** and **hold time** recommended for investments.
* **Quorum Development:** A quorum will be established over time, based on voter participation levels.

***

**Shogun AI Agent and SamuraiSwarm**

* The **Shogun AI Agent**:
  * Considers advice from the **SamuraiSwarm** and shares cryptocurrency alpha and investment opportunities with the DAO for human review.
  * Presents **Shogun Alpha Trades** for promising investment opportunities, with recommendations communicated in the **Shogun Telegram DAO Chat**.
* **Future Adjustments**:
  * As the Shogun AI Agent proves its value, the DAO will vote on:
    * Adjusting parameters for decision-making.
    * Increasing the agent's autonomy to execute larger investments without requiring DAO consensus.
