# Governance process

The KUMA Protocol is controlled by vMIMO token holders who vote on off-chain proposals (on the [KUMA snapshot](https://snapshot.org/#/kumaprotocol.eth)) that govern the ecosystem. Proposals that the Quorum Threshold are executed by the [Multisig](/kuma-protocol/dao-and-governance/multisig.md). 

At start the KUMA Protocol accepts regulated KUMA NFTs. However in essence, the KUMA Protocol could be accepting other types of tokens backed by Real World Assets (RWA).

## Governance Proposals Process

The steps for a successful governance proposal are:

1. Create a proposal by using the [Proposal Framework](/kuma-protocol/dao-and-governance/proposal-framework.md) to share on the ***forum*** and discuss with the community.
2. Discuss with the community for a minimum of 2 days on the forum then update the proposal if necessary
3. Post the proposal on the [KUMA Snapshot](https://snapshot.org/#/kumaprotocol.eth) by following the [Proposal Framework](/kuma-protocol/dao-and-governance/proposal-framework.md) (Publish a proposal on the [KUMA Snapshot](https://snapshot.org/#/kumaprotocol.eth) requires at least XX [vMIMO](/kuma-protocol/dao-and-governance/vmimo-and-voting-power.md) tokens following KIP-XX (add snapshot link))

If successful, the proposal payload will be executed and implemented by the [Multisig](/kuma-protocol/dao-and-governance/multisig.md).

## **DAO Discussion**
