Holders of the PEX token will be able to set rules and make changes to the Pear decentralized marketplace by polling and voting mechanisms. During the early phase of Pear DAO’s establishment, PEX holders would be able to submit their proposals to the organization prior to the iteration phase. The proposals will be voted during the iteration phase. Voting power is determined by the amount of PEX tokens that are available or staked by each individual wallet address. Proposals with the highest vote will be elected and changes will be made which will affect the configurable portion of the smart contract(s). There will be two forms of changes – **Governance** or **Operational**. Governance change will impact the strategic management of Pear, while Operational changes will affect how the current marketplace is being operated, including rules and regulations. --- # 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://peardao.gitbook.io/docs/dao-mechanism/pear-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.
