Papaya’s design incorporates a new & unique governance model called Implicit Governance, which means that while users can participate in governance decisions, there is **no** governance token tied to these events. The Implicit Governance model aims to mitigate governance risk by eliminating the use of a governance token altogether and align interests by giving voting power exclusively to users actively participating in the platform who posses a stake in Papaya’s success. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.papaya.fi/v1/papaya-dao/implicit-governance.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
