# DAO

DeFive will operate with a **Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO)**, putting users at the heart of decision-making. This ensures a truly decentralized platform where the community drives progress and helps define the path forward on Sonic.

DeFive’s DAO will be powered by **veFIVE holders**, who gain voting power by staking their FIVE tokens. This model not only rewards users for their commitment but also empowers them to actively shape the platform.

{% hint style="info" %}
The DeFive DAO is scheduled for launch in Q2/3 2025.
