With a Swarm, members create proposals to command the Swarm, and then other members vote over the proposal- When consensus is achieved, the proposal passes. Adjusting consensus is equivalent to adjusting how much people have to agree with each other before the Swarm will do something. This consensus threshold may only be changed in the future by creating a proposal at your DAO, and voting over a new consensus threshold. ## Setting your Swarms Consensus (EQUAL / CONTROLLED) 8\) *Choose how many members must vote in favor of a proposal in order for it to pass.*
