# Introduction

<figure><img src="/files/EIuk4Ua1BQusPIQ3TO0g" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The cryptocurrency space continues to push forward with new solutions to revolutionize the financial industry. The key philosophy is the distribution of power back to the people, and the ability to have real influence and change over the future direction of a given project. The trustless model of a distributed ledger allows the community to run the network and removes the need for a central authority to wield the power. The network and its members are able to make decisions through a governance system known as a ***Decentralised Autonomous Organisation (DAO).***

DAO’s are predominantly used for network changes and governance over a project’s treasury. DAO’s have come into the limelight with the prolific rise of Decentralised Finance (DeFi). Many protocols have launched a token to govern the network, as well as fund developers and community initiatives through its treasury.

DAO’s offer a high level of transparency and power to the user, but this does not come without tradeoffs. There is the potential for security risks in the form of smart contract bugs, and the potential implications of leaving important financial decisions in the hands of the masses.

[TomoMasterDAO](https://vicmaster.xyz/) aims to address these issues to create a spirited community that can build strength in the Viction network.

## 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/introduction.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
