# MIP93: Utilizing Hats Protocol

This is a summary of the contents of this subproposal and its impact, from GovAlpha's perspective:

- This is a valid general MIP in accordance to the General MIP template.
- It proposes the utilization of [Hats Protocol](hatsprotocol.xyz/) in MakerDAO. Hats Protocol allows for social structures and on-chain behavior to be represented and regulated (via permissions) with “hats” --- in fewer words, it allows for tokenized contributor role assignment and management.
- This MIP contains process components for the creation, removal, modification and certification of Hat Trees (i.e., permission trees that consist of Hat ERC-1155 tokens) within MakerDAO.
- The authors suggest [this forum post](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/proposal-idea-utilizing-hats-protocol-erc-1155s/18480) for further reading.
- This proposal has been assigned `High-Impact` based on the methodology listed [here](https://manual.makerdao.com/governance/off-chain/impact-estimations).
