## Overview
LightHaus represents the signalling layer of governance within UberHaus. All UberHaus Share and Loot holders must be onboarded to LightHaus before becoming shareholding members in PowerHaus, the execution layer of UberHaus.
Voting in the signalling layer, or LightHaus as we'll be referring to it, is similar to the existing token-voting governance systems that we see across both the DeFi and the DAO space, yet LightHaus differentiates itself as it requires individuals to stake their HAUS tokens for governance power, and the loot that stakers receive is non-transferrable.
### Who can Join LightHaus?
LightHaus is an open-permissionless body making up individuals and DAOs. Governance in LightHaus is divided across three primary token types:
1. Loot holders (individuals & DAOs)
2. Shareholders (DAOs only)
3. LPs (2x voting power)
In addtion to holding these tokens, governance can be earned by participating in DAOhaus community Rituals. Come join us at HausParty, where if you mint both an NFT and earn a Verfication token, you can participate in LightHaus with 100 loot worth of voting power.
*Every DAO that wants to obtain shares in PowerHaus must join LightHaus first.*
