Voting and Governance structure questions

[rspa]

Hello everybody.

I’m curious how to best participate in REF.finance governance.
As far as I can tell voting takes place on Astro DAO.
Do I need REF or NEAR to vote?

How is the council chosen?

Any pointers to info would be greatly appreciated.

How can I join the DAO? How can I get more involved?
As a rule of thumb, the Ref FInance DAO is always open to active and committed community members and we go through regular reorganizations of the DAO to encourage new members to join and remove inactive ones. The best way is to start contributing to the community via Discord or Telegram, or contribute to the product iteration, feedback, bug report etc, and make yourself known to the team or DAO members. This way, the next time the DAO reorganizes (which is as often as every quarter), you will be considered based on your recognized value and input.
