# Governance **Governance Through Tokenization:** **XSwap Token Role:** The very essence of XSwap's governance lies in its native token. Token holders are not just protocol members; they play an active role in the protocol's decision-making processes. By holding the XSwap token, they earn the right to participate in and shape the future direction of the platform. Further details regarding DAO mechanisms will be introduced in the near future. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
