+## An Introduction to the DAO concept
+
+[A decentralized autonomous organization (DAO)](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/decentralization/dao/threefold__dao_why) is an entity with no central leadership. Decisions get made from the bottom-up, governed by a community organized around a specific set of rules enforced on a blockchain. 
+
+DAOs are internet-native organizations collectively owned and managed by their members. They have built-in treasuries that are only accessible with the approval of their members. Decisions are made via proposals the group votes on during a specified period. 
+
+***
+
+## Prerequisites to Vote
+
+Voting for a DAO proposal is very simple. You first need to meet certain requirements to be able to vote.
+
+* Have a [Threefold farm](../../farmers/3node_building/1_create_farm.md)
+* Have at least one active [3node server](../../faq/faq.md#i-want-to-farm-tft-with-a-3node-what-are-my-choices) on the farm
+* If you created your farm with the Threefold Connect app
+  * [Import your farm on the Threefold Dashboard](../../threefold_token/storing_tft/tf_connect_app.md#move-farm-from-the-tf-connect-app-to-the-tf-portal-polkadotjs)
