# DAO Proposals
> Create and vote on HashioDAO proposals on Hedera: lock tokens to gain voting power, configure proposal details, and submit on-chain governance actions.
To create a proposal on chain, you must have sufficient voting power. This information can be found on the DAO's **Overview** tab from the [HashioDAO](https://hashiodao.swirldslabs.com/) dashboard.
**Note**: There are no snapshots, like EVM-based DAOs, instead, your tokens are locked up for the duration of the vote. Your voting power is equal to the amount of tokens you lock up.
Click on **Manage** and lock up tokens to increase your voting powers.
