# Overview
The DAO dashboard is the portal to participate in the API3 DAO. It is aimed at API3 members and others that want to understand how to interact with the DAO or modify/reuse any of its infrastructure.
The DAO dashboard focuses on your interaction with the DAO:
- Staking Tokens - Stake API3 tokens into the DAO pool to gain governance rights (proposals and voting) and earn rewards.
- Working with Proposals - View and create proposals.
- How to Vote - Vote on proposals directly or through delegation.
# Access the Dashboard
- Access the DAO Dashboard (opens new window) on Mainnet.
Connect your wallet by clicking the Connect Wallet button in the upper right hand corner. Select your wallet from the popup. Once connected you can view the DAO dashboard showing stake and reward status.
# Navigation
The DAO dashboard has three simple views as seen in the navigation menu in the upper left hand corner. Each of these are covered in the Staking Tokens, Working with Proposals and How to Vote pages.
- Staking
- Governance
- History
# Dashboard Attributes
Some attributes that determine values displayed on the DAO dashboard (such as the STAKING TARGET) can be changed by creating a proposal and calling the appropriate function on the DAO pool contract. See Dashboard Attributes on the DAO Contracts page in the reference section for more details on the available function calls.
