# The mpDAO

mpDAO (Meta Pool's Decentralized Autonomous Organization) is a community-driven governance system at the heart of Meta Pool's ecosystem. Designed to empower users worldwide, mpDAO fosters transparency, inclusivity, and decentralization. 

Through mpDAO, community actively participate in decision-making, proposal approvals, and resource allocation, shaping the future of Meta Pool's liquid staking and DeFi solutions. 

Meta Pool's journey towards becoming a DAO is an intricate process, far from a simple endeavor. The dedicated [Meta Pool contributors ](/master/welcome-to-meta-pool/the-mpdao/contributors-team.md)are collaborating closely with the community, governance token holders, and fellow contributors to navigate this complex path. 

Learn more about it in the [Tokenomics & Governance](/master/tokenomics-and-governance/tokenomics.md) section.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.metapool.app/master/welcome-to-meta-pool/the-mpdao.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
