# Overview

Chamber inherits its governance framework from dHEDGE. Until the Chamber token (CHMR) goes live, DHT remains the governance token and everything in this section describes the system as it runs today.

## How decisions are made

* **Meta-Proposals (DMPs)** are the canonical mechanism for changing how governance itself works, or for authorising protocol-level decisions. DMPs are written on [forum.dhedge.org](https://forum.dhedge.org), discussed in the thread, then voted on via Snapshot. See [Meta-Proposals (DMP)](/governance-and-token/meta-proposals.md).
* **Voting** runs on Snapshot using DHT held in the voter's wallet. The earlier staking-for-voting system (vDHT) is no longer active — see [Legacy staking](/governance-and-token/dht-staking.md).
* **Execution** is performed by the DAO multisig acting on the outcome of a passing vote. There is no onchain governor contract with automatic execution today.

## What governance controls

* The protocol admin fee (currently 10% of manager fees, set by token holders)
* Treasury allocations, reallocations, and liquidations
* Additions and changes to the governance process itself (via DMPs)
* Strategic decisions at the DAO level: grants, partnerships, major product direction

## The token

* **DHT** — fixed supply of 100,000,000. Launched September 2020. Used for voting and revenue share. See [DHT (legacy)](/governance-and-token/dht-legacy.md).
* **CHMR (Chamber token)** — placeholder. Most mechanics will inherit from DHT. See [Chamber tokenomics](/governance-and-token/chamber-tokenomics.md).

## What changes at rebrand

Mechanics carry over. The token symbol, the DAO name, and the governance surfaces (forum, Snapshot space) may be renamed alongside the rebrand, but the DMP process and revenue share continue to work the way they do on dHEDGE today.
