# What is the DAOry ? The DAOry is a community hub composed exclusively of Aurorian holders. It’s a fun place to hang out, but that’s not all it is; the DAOry helps support Aurory by increasing its brand awareness. The DAOry accomplishes this autonomously through community initiatives and proposals, community marketing on social media, and partnerships with other project teams and their communities. At the helm of the DAOry organization are five council members, voted in by the community every six months. The job of the council is to discuss ideas brought up by the community and ultimately bring them to an official proposal that all Aurorian holders can vote on (1 Aurorian = 1 vote). Councilors play a crucial role in overseeing the DAOry’s treasury, which is amongst the most funded DAO treasuries on Solana. Each councilor is also responsible for a department. In the first term, councilors focused primarily on creating a framework for initiatives, proposals, voting, and so forth, so that future councilors would have a proper foundation to stand on when executing on ideas that the community has. In the second term, councilors were focused on conservative treasury management while trying to put capital to work, such as by staking $AURY and $SOL. In its third term, the DAOry council was looking to be a bit more risk-on with the treasury while still remaining fairly conservative. This is being done through initiatives such as using the treasury to hire a social media manager for the DAOry Twitter account. In its fourth term, the DAOry switched its structure by reducing the Councilors from 9 to 5 persons and by recruiting 3 advisors and 2 full-time employees (SMM + BD). The goal remains to propose alternative investment choices to grow the treasury, conduct giveaways, and explore all sorts of other ideas. In its fifth term, the DAOry has maintained the same structure (5 councilors, 3 advisors, 1 SMM, 1 BD). Their goal were to grow the brand and reach of the DAOry while ensuring the amplification of Aurory's communication and events related to the Seeker of Tokane game. They managed to reach their goals, setting up never seen before in-game events, providing added values to Aurorians by boosting expeditions rewards by 100% and creating the DAOry Shop! In its sixth term, the DAOry delved deep into the legal implications of distributing the Solana treasury among holders. While the subject was thoroughly explored, the viable options remained limited at the time. Beyond those discussions, the team successfully launched regular tournaments on the AmikoGG platform and completed a rebrand of the DAOry website. Now in its seventh term, the DAOry has restructured by removing the BD role (now consisting of 5 councilors, 3 advisors, and 1 SMM). While their mission remains unchanged, they are shifting focus toward a potential distribution event or answering the ultimate question: "What else is next?" Whatever happens, the community always comes first; all ideas are discussed by Aurorian holders prior to being realized.
