# Decentralized Governance & on-chain voting Easily implement a DAO with an on-chain Governor using collections from Mintpad. Under the hood, we provide an extension of the ERC721 standard to support voting and delegation as implemented by Votes, where each NFT counts as one vote unit. Our technology paves the way to easily implement a **DAO from the NFT Collection**, giving your users a voice and vote—everything on-chain! {% hint style="info" %} Tokens do not count as votes until they are delegated because votes must be tracked, which incurs an additional cost on every transfer. Token holders can either delegate to a trusted representative who will decide how to use the votes in decentralized governance decisions or delegate to themselves to be their own representatives. {% endhint %} --- # 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.
