# DAO

DAO stands for Decentralized Autonomous Organization. Each DeepMine [Сitizen ](/deepmine/deepmine-entities/game-roles/citizen.md)is a part of the DAO and has a certain amount of DAO power to influence the course of the gameplay by voting on initiatives that are put to a vote by [Senators ](/deepmine/deepmine-entities/game-roles/senator.md)and the [Government](/deepmine/deepmine-entities/government.md). Either only Senators or all Citizens can participate in the voting depending on the importance and scale of the decision made. 

* Each voice has its own DAO power.
* DAO power is calculated based on the DMP amount in possession.
* It is possible to receive DMP by burning DME or staking DMP in the [Portal](/deepmine/deepmine-entities/portal.md).
