DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) — a decentralized governance and asset distribution model where decisions about the platform’s development are made by the community.
You can earn DAO tokens by participating in the life of the platform. These tokens allow you to receive rewards in EUR and vote on changes to the service.

DAO Benefit Fee
DAO Benefit Fee — a 3% fee paid by the customer. It is automatically included in the task price when the task is created.
It is from these funds that the DAO treasury is formed. The collected funds are not treated as EasyStaff’s revenue; instead, they are distributed among all token holders and credited to them as a DAO Service Fee.

DAO Service Fee
DAO Service Fee — a reward in the form of a share of the DAO Benefit Fee, which is distributed monthly among token holders in proportion to the number of tokens they hold.
DAO Service Fee can be withdrawn by both customers and freelancers. Payouts are made in EUR.
The minimum payout amount is 1 EUR; smaller amounts are burned.
DAO Dashboard
DAO Dashboard — a transparent report that shows:

- How much DAO Benefit Fee has been accumulated for distribution during the month;
- How many tokens were earned on the marketplace during the month;
- How assets are distributed among all token holders.

Voting
On the DAO main page, you can find Public Feature Requests — an open registry of community ideas.
Any user can submit an idea.
Only DAO participants can vote — DAO tokens give voting power.

Soft Voting
This is a tool for discussing community ideas and forming a public backlog.

- All DAO members can vote. A quorum is not necessary.
- Soft voting is advisory and measures the popularity of an initiative.
- An idea can be brought to Hard voting only if at least 20% of tokens vote for it with a 70% consensus in Soft voting.
Hard Voting
The mechanism is used for approving budgets, appointing executors, and changing DAO parameters.

- Currently the quorum is set at 50%.
- If after a month of active voting, the quorum is not reached on any issue, it decreases by 10 points (e.g., from 50% to 40%).
- The trend continues until the minimum quorum of 20% is reached.
- A decision is considered accepted at a 70% consensus among voters.
Earning tokens
DAO Token — a unit of participation and governance. The more tokens a participant holds, the greater their share in asset distribution and voting power. Earn tokens by completing DAO missions.
DAO missions — activities that allow participants to earn tokens.

| Mission | Freelancer reward | Customer reward |
| Completing tasks on EasyStaff Connect | 0.5% of the task value in tokens after each completed task | 1% of the task value in tokens after each completed task |
| Inviting customers to the platform (customers must complete tasks) | 0.5% in tokens from the total value of all successfully completed tasks by the customers you invite to EasyStaff Connect | 0.5% in tokens from the total value of all successfully completed tasks by the customers you invite to EasyStaff Connect |
| Become the author of a completed request | 100 tokens for creating a public feature request that is implemented and moves to the “Completed” status | 100 tokens for creating a public feature request that is implemented and moves to the “Completed” status |
With tokens, you can receive DAO Service Fee and vote on changes to the service.

No tip — selected by default,
5%, 10%, 15% — calculated from the customer’s current balance,
Custom — any other amount.
