# Aqua DAO

Aqua DAO is an essential component of the Aqua Protocol's governance structure, enabling decentralized decision-making. Key to this process are the [Aqua Genesis NFTs](https://aquaprotocol.xyz/nft?utm_source=gitbook\&utm_medium=docs\&utm_campaign=aquadao) and [AQUA token](https://docs.aquaprotocol.xyz/governance/aqua-governance-token).

### Aqua Genesis NFTs:

* **Voting Power**: The number of [Aqua Genesis NFTs](https://aquaprotocol.xyz/nft?utm_source=gitbook\&utm_medium=docs\&utm_campaign=aquadao) a holder possesses directly correlates with their voting power in the protocol’s governance. More NFTs equate to greater influence in decision-making processes.
