# DAOs with Governance Token

<mark style="color:blue;">**Basic Configuration Information**</mark>

1. Your DAO's name (and logo, if you prefer)
2. Create or share Staking Engine (if you use governance token)

In this model, a **Manager** of the DAO is required to pledge a minimum amount of DAO tokens to stay in the management. These pledges are **locked** and can only be released until the manager is released from duty.

A public voter must pledge a certain number of tokens to cast votes on a proposal. The bigger the Pledge Value, the more effective the vote will be. These pledges are **locked** and can only be released until the proposals reach conclusion.

Whether it's for Manager pledge or for voting pledge, all staked DAO tokens earns emission rewards.

In the <mark style="color:blue;">**Quick Starter**</mark> mode, the INK Web App configures all the parameters mentioned in the previous [overview section](https://ink-finance.gitbook.io/ink-finance-guide-v2/dao-creation/create-a-new-dao), with default values for a quick and simple bootstrap. These default parameters can later be changed via the [Changing Governance Rules](https://ink-finance.gitbook.io/ink-finance-guide-v2/for-managers/at-the-board-level/make-proposals/change-governance-rules) operation.

In the Quick Starter mode, all the minimum requirement numbers will be set at 1, and the voting power at 'Public & Board', while no badge is required.
