The OQ-DAO ecosystem has 5,000 governance tokens that allow token holders to vote on proposals and participate in a private forum to create new ones. This helps the ecosystem to grow and token holders can benefit from its success as the token value may increase over time. To buy these tokens, users need a MetaMask wallet and must purchase them from the OQ-DAO website. Once all tokens are sold, they can only be obtained from secondary NFT marketplaces. The community's decision-making power is significant, and token holders can nominate themselves or others for paid positions in future OQ-DAO projects. By working together, the OQ-DAO community can achieve significant projects and make a positive impact.
