# Benefit 3: Governance Rights The LifeDAO is community owned and community governed. Day to day operations are handled by the Takadao protocol, but long term decisions are made by TLD members. Members exercise their governance rights through voting and their voting power is determined by the number of Membership Credits they own. A detailed discussion of the TLD Governance process will appear later in this paper. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
