# Governance

A lot of dapps have implemented a structure that allows users to vote on changes and improvements being made. This structure is called governance and allows users to be more involved in the development and improvement of the *protocol*. Governance is typically implemented via governance tokens which represents voting power on the *protocol*.

Uniswap’s token, the UNI token, is a governance token. This lets the users of Uniswap contribute their ideas and help govern the Uniswap *protocol*. More information on their governance methods can be found on their [governance page](https://uniswap.org/governance).

The amount of communities that implement  governance systems have been growing and demonstrate another great use of decentralization on the blockchain. Now users can have a say and impact in the development of their favorite dapps and communities.

If you really like the idea of governance on the blockchain and are excited to have a say but are not ready to spend money to contribute, getting involved in Discords is a good first step. Almost all *protocols*, communities, and projects on the blockchain have a discord where the community can get together to discuss ideas, ask questions, and meet other supporters of the projects. Look for the discord logo to join!<img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1600/1*_fG4DeCM5EzBeg9BZRzKnQ.png" alt="" data-size="line">
