# DAO Membership

### Why DAO Membership?

**App Vote Up** - the DAO member just want to vote up any NFT marketplace they want to support by consuming their vote power

**Rewarding Vote Up** - ringmaster can pay the vote up by depositing tokens at a custom price set for every voting power used. For example if the ringmaster pay the vote up for $1 each vote power. If the DAO member voted using 100 votes, they will receive $100 for using their vote power
