| BlueLotusDAO (BLDT) Token holders are in charge of guiding the governance system with the correct decision-making in order to obtain improvements for the whole ecosystem through the votes of the BlueLotusDAO TOKEN governance system. |

### On-Chain Governance

On-chain governance involves the Governance Sites: Forum and Portal. Only those who contain BLDT and are registered can participate in these rooms.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Forum" %}
A forum for discussions related to governance. Share proposals, encourage feedback, and share the future of the protocol with the BlueLotusDAO community.&#x20;

Only users who have signed up for an account before being able to share, discuss, or support posts are allowed to post.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Portal" %}
The official portal to vote in governance. Here you will find live governance proposal reviews and where you can delegate your on-chain vote.&#x20;

This process of delegating votes is essential since it is the only way to have the right to vote, if this process is not carried out, in addition to having your BLDT, you will not be able to vote.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Off-Chain Governance

Off-chain governance refers to processes that do not require on-chain voting or BLDT ownership, but do not affect decision-making. The Governance Site is used: Snapshot. The result is purely an indicator of sentiment when explaining a certain proposal.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Snapshot" %}
A simple off-chain voting interface for the BlueLotusDAO community, with the goal of indicating sentiment during the early stages of a proposal life cycle.
{% endtab %}
