# Weighted Features

**WEIGHTED** type DAOs operate a bit differently than the other DAO types, because Weighted DAOs have 2 Consensus Thresholds that must be satisfied in order for a proposal to pass.&#x20;

In a Weighted DAO, the thresholds of Weight and Members must both be satisfied for a proposal to reach consensus (See below)

Look at the DAO above, we see 2 thresholds for this DAO (Weight and Members)-&#x20;

* 63% of the Swarms Weight must vote to pass a proposal&#x20;
* 65% of the Swarms members must vote to pass a proposal&#x20;

In order to reach consensus in a **WEIGHTED** type DAO both of these requirements must be met.

This means in a Weighted DAO, if both the WEIGHT and MEMBERS thresholds are **not** reached, the proposal will **not** pass.

## Special Weighted DAO Features

Weighted DAOs have a few extra proposal actions they can make due having 2 thresholds.

First, Weighted DAOs can propose to assign a Vault a Deposit Weight- Whenever someone deposits tokens into the Vault, they gain 1 deposit weight for every 1 token they deposit. This weight can also be adjusted when creating the proposal.

Second, Weighted DAOs can also propose the Adjust Required-Voters Threshold action- Which allows a Weighted DAO to adjust how many MEMBERS are required to vote in order to reach consensus.

Third, A Weighted DAOs Adjust Consensus Threshold action adjusts how much WEIGHT is required to vote for a proposition in order to reach consensus.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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://swarms-finance.gitbook.io/swarms.finance-app/weighted-dao-type/weighted-features.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.
