# GT (Governance Token)

### What is GT?

Non-transferable ERC20 token. Address of GT equals to DAO address

{% hint style="info" %}
GT address = DAO Address. This is the same smart contract
{% endhint %}

### GT token role in DAO

Immediately at the moment of DAO creation, you need to distribute Governance tokens among DAO participants.

**All wallets with GTs have access to the DAO and can create any proposals**. The quorum determines how many tokens are needed to activate any vote in the DAO. If all issued GTs equals to 100%, then **a 51% quorum will require 51% GTs**, which are distributed among DAO members.

Governance tokens cannot be sent to another wallet by direct transfer. If there is a need to send tokens, for example, DAO member decided to leave the project, that DAO member needs to initiate a vote to transfer GT from his wallet to another.

As you can see, the GT token makes it possible to be a member of the DAO. What then is the difference between an LP token and a GT and is it necessary to create one?
