How Do Governance Tokens Differ from Utility Tokens in the Context of a DAO’s Treasury Management?
Governance tokens grant holders voting rights on proposals that affect the DAO's future, including treasury allocation. Utility tokens are used to access a product or service within the ecosystem.
A DAO's treasury management is directly controlled by governance tokens, as holders vote on how to deploy or secure the assets, whereas utility tokens are primarily an operational expense or revenue source.
