# Governance Staking the cryptocurrency $SPACY grants users governance rights within the Spacy ecosystem. As a social network created by and for its users, Spacy allows its most committed members, those who stake their tokens, to actively participate in the governance of the application. Governance is expressed through a voting power assigned to users, which impacts decisions regarding future updates and directions of Spacy. A user's voting power is calculated in proportion to the number of xSPACY tokens they hold relative to the total supply of xSPACY. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
