# Governance

The [sDAMO](/docs/references/glossary.md#sdamo) token is a representation of participation in the DAMO Protocol. This participation includes creating and voting on proposals.

Proposals can be submitted on-chain by users who hold at least 3% of the sDAMO supply. For users who do not have enough sDAMO, proposals can be vetted through our governance community forums. If an off-chain proposal gains enough traction, the DAMO operators will submit a formal on-chain proposal.

Stake DAMO & receive sDAMO for voting power in the DAO.
