This is designed to retain value within the ecosystem and have the users of Fraktal be in full control of its future. ### Important Links **Snapshot** **Gnosis Safe** 0xfe94655fe300C4961b05985FDE83c02672D3A8f1 ### **Core Functions of Fraktal DAO** * Manage Ecosystem Value This means that any decision related to the distribution of FRAK and allocation of any other digital assets held within the DAO is up to the community. * Controlling Protocol Contracts This gives users the ability to Update Fee structures or any other contract parameter and execute contract upgrades. ### Community in Control By putting the community in control of the Value and Technology of Fraktal Ecosystem, it ensures that no single person can have a major averse effect by acting maliciously.
