Each DAO type functions a little differently. | | [Consensus Threshold](/swarms.finance-app/guide/create-a-swarm/consensus-equal-controlled.md) | The % of members or weight required to pass a proposal. | | [Weighted Consensus Threshold](/swarms.finance-app/guide/create-a-swarm/consensus-weighted.md) | The % of Weight required to pass a proposal. | | [Required-Voter Threshold](/swarms.finance-app/weighted-dao-type/adjust-required-voter-consensus-threshold-weighted.md) | The % of members required to vote in order to pass a proposal. | | Weight | Voting Power in a Weighted DAO. In a Weighted type DAO members gain Weight when they deposit assets into the Swarm. | | Total Weight | A Weighted Type DAO's total amount of weight from all member deposits. | | [Daily Proposal Limit](/swarms.finance-app/guide/create-a-proposal/adjust-daily-proposal-limit.md) | The number of proposals a member can make per day in a Swarm. | | [Minimum Voting Time](/swarms.finance-app/guide/create-a-proposal/adjust-minimum-voting-time.md) | The minimum amount of time a proposal must run, allowing people to vote, before it expires at a Swarm. | | [Equal Type DAO](/swarms.finance-app/equal-dao-type/equal-features.md) | A DAO that represents a true democracy where everyone is equal, has equal voting power, and can create proposals. Consensus is achieved when a certain number of Swarm members vote for a proposal. | | [Weighted Type DAO](/swarms.finance-app/weighted-dao-type/weighted-features.md) | A DAO where members have more voting power depending on their deposits made into the DAO. All members can create and vote over proposals. Consensus is reached when a certain amount of Weight and Members vote for a proposal. | | [Controlled Type DAO](/swarms.finance-app/controlled-dao-type/controlled-features.md) | A DAO focused around a leader, the Swarm Creator. The Swarm Creator has special permissions and can add/remove members at anytime. The Swarm Creator must pick which members are allowed to create proposals. Consensus is reached when a certain number of members vote for a proposal. | | [Custom Type DAO](/swarms.finance-app/custom-dao-type/custom-features.md) | A DAO with a hierarchy of roles and permissions. Some members may be able to vote and create proposals over some things, while others may not depending on their Role. Consensus is reached when a certain number of members vote for a proposal. | | [Role](/swarms.finance-app/guide/create-a-swarm/swarm-roles-and-actions-custom.md) | In a Controlled DAO, roles are what allow Swarm members to perform Swarm Actions. A role may or may not be able to create a proposal for a Swarm Action, or vote for a Swarm Action, or both. | | [Swarm Action](/swarms.finance-app/guide/create-a-swarm/swarm-roles-and-actions-custom.md) | A Task/Operation that is executed after a proposal is created and consensus is reached by the Swarm. | | Proposal Permissions | The ability for a Swarm member to create proposals. | | Grant Permissions | Granting special permissions to a Swarm member so they can create proposals at a Controlled Type DAO. | | Custom Action | A Custom Swarm Action that was not created by Swarms.Finance. | | [Swarm](/swarms.finance-app/guide/create-a-swarm/create-swarm.md) | A DAO built at Swarms.Finance. | | [Swarm Creator](/swarms.finance-app/weighted-dao-type/weighted-features.md) | The first person who sets up the Swarm- In a Controlled DAO the Swarm Creator has special abilities. | | [Vault](/swarms.finance-app/guide/create-a-vault.md) | A DAO account that holds a specific asset. | | Chain | A Kadena chain | | Multichain | Existing on multiple chains | | [Yanking](/swarms.finance-app/guide/multichain-migrations.md) | To copy a Swarm to another chain. | | Poll | A multi-choice proposal. | | [Message](/swarms.finance-app/guide/post-a-message.md) | A message posted to a Swarm's message board. | | Account | Your Account at DAO- You can be added to multiple DAOs. |
