# Blog Article: Soul Bound Tokens

**Outline a blog post on soul bound tokens in Moloch DAOs.**

What are soul bound tokens?
In Moloch DAOs, soul bound tokens are a type of token that is "locked up" or "staked" by the holder. This means that the holder cannot sell or transfer their tokens, and if they leave the DAO they will lose their tokens.

The purpose of soul bound tokens is to align the interests of members with the long-term success of the DAO. By locking up their tokens, members are incentivized to stay in the DAO and contribute to its success.

 Soul bound tokens also help to ensure that decisions are made in the best interest of the DAO as a whole, rather than for personal gain. With everyone's tokens locked up, there is less incentive for members to act selfishly or make short-sighted decisions.

How do soul bound tokens work?
When a member joins a Moloch DAO, they must first purchase some amount of shares (tokens). The number of shares they purchase determines how much influence they have in decision-making within the DAO. 
 
A portion of these shares (usually around 20-30%) are then locked up as soul bound shares. The remaining shares can be sold or transferred at any time. 

 If a member leaves the DAO voluntarily, they forfeit their soulbound shares and can no longer participate in decision-making. If they are voted out by other members, they may still retain their regular (non-soulbound) shares but will no longer have voting power within the DAO. 

 In either case, once someone has left a Moloch DAO they can no longer access or use any funds that were locked up as part of their soulbound shareholding. 

 This ensures that everyone who remains in theDAO is committed to its success and aligned with its long-term goals.
 
**Why are soul bound tokens significant for Moloch DAOs?**

Moloch DAOs use soul bound tokens to ensure that members are committed to the success of the organization. Soul bound tokens represent a member's "stake" in the organization, and can only be redeemed by the member themselves. This ensures that members have skin in the game and are incentivized to act in the best interest of the organization.

**Describe some use cases for soul bound tokens in Moloch DAOs.**

Soul bound tokens can be used to represent a member's voting power within a Moloch DAO. Soul bound tokens can be used to represent a member's shares in the organization, and can be used to determine dividends or other benefits. Soul bound tokens can also be used as collateral for loans within the DAO. Some use cases for soul bound tokens are to give the token holder the ability to represent themselves in digital form, to make it difficult for others to impersonate them, or to prove their identity in a secure way. Additionally, soul bound tokens can be used to store and transfer value, or to represent ownership of assets.

-To give members voting power in proportion to their contributions
-To distribute rewards to members who have contributed to the DAO
-To enable members to participate in governance decisions
-To allow members to access certain features or areas of the DAO
