# Overview

Within the Inspect ecosystem, a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) structure is employed to enable community-driven governance. Inspect DAO leverages the INSP token, an ERC-20 compliant decentralized token, as the primary instrument for governing the Inspect Protocols.

The Inspect DAO provides a framework that allows community members to actively participate in decision-making processes, shaping the platform's future direction and development. By utilizing the INSP token, the Inspect DAO ensures a democratic and decentralized approach to governance, empowering token holders to influence the platform's trajectory.

In summary, the Inspect DAO, with the INSP token at its core, promotes community involvement and facilitates a transparent, decentralized decision-making process, ultimately enhancing the platform's adaptability and responsiveness to the needs and desires of its users.

## 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://inspect.gitbook.io/inspect/governance/overview.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.
