[value capture utilities](/explore/dao-members/dao-pool.md#token-utilities) of
the API3 token and its powers in the API3 DAO.

The API3 project has a completely open, decentralized and direct governance
model. Any API3 token holder can stake in the DAO pool and obtain direct voting
abilities in the DAO smart contract and thus participate in many aspects of the governance of the project
directly. In addition, stakers receive immutably-coded
abilities in the DAO smart contract and thus participate in many aspects of the
governance of the project directly. In addition, stakers receive immutably-coded
[inflationary rewards](/explore/dao-members/rewards.md) and any additional
benefits that the DAO may decide on in the future. The staked API3 tokens will
back an on-chain [Service Coverage](/explore/dapis/using-dapis.md) as collateral
to provide dAPI users with quantifiable and trustless security guarantees.

The DAO votes on high-level matters such as staking incentives and
collateralization (parameters of the DAO smart contract itself), as well as grant proposals that directly transfer DAO treasury assets to
teams working in support of API3.

## DAO Contributors Structure

The organizational structure of contributors which receive grants from the DAO is often comprised of hierarchical teams and subDAOs
both of which manage, streamline, and secure the success of their deliverables to API3.

### Hierarchical Teams

More granular tasks are conducted through hierarchical team structures for
scalable governance.

A best-practice workflow is to form off-chain teams and apply for grants to execute
one-time projects or time-defined operations that will benefit API3. The team
makes the grant application with a multisig that has the team members assigned
as users, and the DAO permissionlessly transfers the grant to the multisig if the grant proposal is
accepted and passed by the DAO contract logic.

This team-based governance scheme is scalable in terms of gas costs, as it
requires fewer proposals to be voted on at the DAO level. It is also more

### subDAO

The DAO is leveraged to selectively allocate funds and decisions in line with the mission of API3. When a
task reaches a scale that can no longer be fulfilled by a team, it is assigned
to a subDAO.

### Transparency

Each team is expected to produce sufficiently detailed progress reports that
enable the DAO's participants to evaluate team performance with respect to proposed goals.
These public reports have the additional benefit of increased accountability as
dAPI users and the general public can audit API3 operations.

## Can additional chains be supported?

At the moment, we've paused new QRNG chain integrations. If additional chains
were to be supported in the future, support would be more likely on chains with
active dAPIs.
