# Moloch v3 (Baal)

## Overview

Baal is the code name for Moloch v3.

Baal is a governance layer that sits on top of a multisig treasury. It uses the Gnosis Zodiac standards to interface with the treasury.

By abstracting governance into its own layer, Baal enables a more nuanced, Moloch-style control over consensus.
