# Governance

Governance functions of COG gaming platforms are a future-planned functionality and will be determined once the initial phases of our platform and games are released as per the roadmap.&#x20;

All elements of COG platform will be transferred to an on-chain governance model that keeps COG connected and responsible for its community.&#x20;

On-chain governance is a way to manage and implement changes to smart contracts. The controls for initiating changes are coded into the smart contract, and the developer can propose changes through code updates. Initially, gamers active in the COG community will be selected to participate in the governance model. It will open to those with a set minimum level of governance tokens. Each gamer will have voting power based on the amount of governance held.

Functions to be delegated to the governance model include (but are not limited to):

**Economic Systems:**

* Set Fees for transactions, Digital Asset, and Taxes.

**Game Development:**

* Make suggestions for new games and features to be integrated into the platform
* Prioritize features for each new release
* Receive priority access to new releases.

**Exclusive Benefits:**

* Receive presale notification of NFT Digital Asset releases.
* Receive early access to new games in the platform.
* Receive exclusive access to specific items in COG Store.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://whitepaper.cogtoken.network/community/governance.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
