### 🌞 What is Govrn?&#x20;

Govrn is an open platform that empowers [DAO contributors](/govrn-docs/use-cases/dao-contributors.md) to track and record their own contributions, while additionally enabling [communities](/govrn-docs/use-cases/dao-leaders.md) to fairly value & reward those contributions.&#x20;

With Govrn, you are creating a <mark style="color:purple;">**bottom-up culture of governance**</mark>**.**  By reporting contributions, you are helping your DAO(s) crowdsource a framework for defining contribution types, assigning value to contributions, and developing meaningful taxonomies for the entire ecosystem.

In other words, by using Govrn, you empower your DAOs to be defined by the <mark style="color:purple;">**actual work you do**</mark> and the <mark style="color:purple;">**value you create**</mark>.&#x20;

### 🛠 How does Govrn work? ([Demo](https://www.loom.com/share/3cc290c795a145db85a0698f60529ba0))&#x20;

Govrn enables DAO contributors to track and manage their DAO contributions.  By reporting or uploading their contributions with our protocol, contributors can then mint a record of their contributions while "pushing" it to the applicable DAOs. &#x20;

In this way, we ensure that you “own your own contributions”, so that no matter what happens to your DAO, you always control your contributions.&#x20;

### 💫 What is this building towards?

The Govrn Protocol is ultimately building the tools for a decentralized contribution graph.  The protocol optimizes for composability, making contributors and contributions the atomic base unit.

This will enable DAOs to be truly emergent, coming together from any grouping of contributions rather than pledging a "stake".
