It covers account setup, creating a profile, and exploring the platform’s features. Benefit: Perfect for new users, this guide ensures a smooth onboarding process, helping them get up and running quickly.

2. Creating Your DAO

Benefit: Users will be able to effectively participate in DAO governance, whether by submitting their proposals or voting on others.

4. Participating in Voting

Guide: Learn how to vote on proposals within your DAO. This guide details the different voting systems available on LumosDAO, including token-based voting, weighted voting, and quadratic voting, where a Credits System is used.
