# On-Chain vs Off-Chain Voting
The choice was made to use off-chain governance through the Snapshot voting system. The Snapshot voting system takes a poll of all users wallets holding tDAO at the specified block number. Then users are able to vote by signing a transaction in their wallet. Votes are feeless, and easy to do.
The downside of off-chain governance is that proposals are non-binding. On-chain governance is done completely through the blockchain but has certain drawbacks. On-chain governance offers high levels of transparency but often suffers from low voter turnout. Gas fees can be an issue for participation in on-chain governance.
In relation to TomoMasterDAO, the governance model is structured in such a way that a move to on-chain governance can be made in the future if a higher level of decentralization is desired. An overview of the governance model is demonstrated in Figure 1.

## 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://docs.viction.xyz/archive/tomomasterdao/governance-model/on-chain-vs-off-chain-voting.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
