# Tao Voting

Tao Voting is the voting process by which the Commons can modify its economic and governance settings post Commons Upgrade. It is a very powerful voting application that is capable of performing many high-impact functions, for example:

* Mint and burn TEC tokens
* Install and remove Applications (Modules) in the Commons
* Modify the parameters of all existing Applications (Modules)

Since there is only one set of voting parameters for all Commons components, strong thresholds for passing proposals in Tao Voting are critical to ensure the Commons architecture remains un-compromised.
