# What is Voty? **Voty aims to offer a fair and user-friendly governance system for all types of communities. Unlike token-based voting systems, Voty has proposed the idea of "DID-based Governance", which enables communities to obtain valuable opinions from all members, instead of concentrating power among a select few.** **Currently we are in our beta version, and welcome all feedback and discussion!** ## All about Identities/DIDs Use names like `arvin.voty` to express your membership in the community. Voting weight are tied to this identity as well, therefore managing voting power of different groups of members is made easy. ## Tailored Workgroup Structure Community is bound to have many workgroups that contribute differently. Therefore, setting up workgroups to categorise proposals with different aims is crucial. Also, the same member can also have different voting weight in different workgroups. For example, Member A can have a high voting power in Workgroup A, while having a low voting power in Workgroup B. ## On-Chain Transparency All the community data in Voty will be stored on chain, including community information, and down to each action made in the community. We also managed to make the whole process fast and gas-free. ## Accessible Community Stats For community organisers, Voty will have a stats board that can easily check out the overall activity level of your community. You can use this to evaluate how healthy your community is. Still have questions? Learn more at [Voty's Blog](https://votyofficial.substack.com/).
