# NodeDAO Decentralized Autonomous Organization **NodeDAO’s** Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) prioritizes a community-first approach to staking. The DAO’s primary goal is to ensure a seamless and profitable staking experience for its members. Our goal is to increase the decentralization of Ethereum staking by providing innovative liquidity solutions and more choice to the Ethereum liquidity market. The **DAO’s responsibilities** include: * Managing important system parameters such as: 1. **Fees** paid by stakers 2. **Commissions** paid to node operators 3. **Onboarding** and offboarding of node operators and applicable fees 4. Approving **contract** changes to introduce new features * Balancing the immediate interests of the community with the long-term success of the protocol through informed decision-making * Cultivating a cohesive community of stakeholders and validators through a transparent and community-driven governance process. By placing the governance of the protocol in the hands of the community, NodeDAO strives to create a collaborative and mutually beneficial staking ecosystem. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
