The 0.5% base withdrawal fee from the Void Anonymity Pool after covering gas costs through the relay setup, will be paid directly to the Void governance stakers. Starting at 5%, a portion of the yield earned from the VAPs will be used to buy $VOID from the market to reward governance stakers. The staking of >10,000 $VOID in the governance pool will waive the 0.5% withdrawal fee for Void Anonymity Pool users. ### Voting The DAO governance will be able to vote on many elements of the platform. Initially many of the variables will be highly controlled for the success and usability of the platform, but over time the span and magnitude of the DAO will grow. Governance will be able to vote on many options, things including but not limited to; * Size of deposits * Yield Governance % * LP rewards vs Void Anonymity Pool rewards * Alternative VAP earn strategies * Minimum staked $VOID required to waive fees * DAO fund usage * Base withdrawal fee Once the DAO has been implemented, all future outcomes will be proposed through the DAO and must pass a vote to proceed. All the variables of the platform will be open to discussion or a vote. We foresee variables having a maximum margin they can be changed by each vote, along with a cooldown for each, this will help maintain balance and stability for platform users. More on the DAO structure will come in the later phases. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://protocolvoid.gitbook.io/void-protocol/token/dao-governance.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.
