- Collaborate and make decisions in a private Telegram group.
- Voting occurs on the DeSo Platform, with influence proportional to your token holdings.

### Investing in Creator Coin
- The $EchoDeSo Creator Coin is vital for the project's economy.
- The 20% Founders Reward, along with tips and earned $DESO, are reinvested into the Creator Coin, enhancing its value.

### Joining as a Content Creator

## 5. Structure and Governance
- Voting on the DeSo Platform determines DAO decisions.

## 6. Bounty System and Creator Validation
- Bounties are calculated based on content impact and creator influence.
- Creators are vetted based on their past work and potential to deliver quality content.

## 7. DAO Facilitator Role and Compensation
