# Governance

Plutus is Decentralised Autonomous Organisation (DAO), meaning users can participate in the protocol's decision making via voting on proposals. Community members with over 1M $xPLUTUS and the Plutus Team write proposals called PRFCs (Plutus Request for Comments), which are then voted on on the [Plutus snapshot](https://snapshot.box/#/s:plutus-dao.eth/proposals) space.&#x20;

The proposals are generally related to the team furthering the shared vision of Plutus, such as rebranding from PlutusDAO to Plutus ([PRFC-15](https://snapshot.box/#/s:plutus-dao.eth/proposal/0x586aae17b2c352d4fc9d8f7b8d71d7eb90bd0b919b1fe06c4493f4a88858178a)), or approvals of budgets and other strategy related issues ([PRFC-16](https://snapshot.box/#/s:plutus-dao.eth/proposal/0x28c09bf06675e158ffa1555eccf80a1523996be0cfafdac29caa38631cca10d9)) and investments ([PRFC-8](https://snapshot.box/#/s:plutus-dao.eth/proposal/0xfacb98dad8621ace8391135f75f4bcf994f753b38081329fccc7c95e07258734)).

Users can vote with their $xPLUTUS tokens, with each token counting as one vote. This ensures that all voters have a vested interest in the future of Plutus.&#x20;

In the past, voting was aggregated through $bPLS, which was a composite of multiple different tokens. After PRFC-15, the tokenomics were simplified by the introduction of [$PLUTUS](/tokenomics/plutus.md#usdplutus) and it's locked counterpart [$xPLUTUS](/tokenomics/plutus.md#usdxplutus).
