It leverages blockchain and[ timestamping technology](/timestamping/introduction-to-blockchain-and-timestamping.md) to ensure the veracity of data and documents. The native token of the platform is VIDT, which is integral to the data validation process. Each time a file is timestamped, a VIDT transaction is executed, recording all necessary details into the blockchain. VIDT also plays a crucial role in the governance of the platform, empowering token holders to propose and vote on strategic decisions concerning business, marketing, and technical developments. Each wallet holding a certain amount of VIDT has one vote, thereby democratizing the decision-making process. ## **How's VIDT DAO structured?** Several key components work in unison within the [VIDT DAO ecosystem.](/ecosystem/the-ecosystem.md) The Incubator Treasury is a tool that allows the community to influence the strategic and commercial path of VIDT DAO. The Audit Committee is in place to perform sanity checks on submitted DAO proposals to ensure compliance with regulations. Finally, the [Awareness Team](/ecosystem/vidt-dao-community.md), composed of volunteers, disseminates news about VIDT to foster community engagement. As of January 2025, the total token supply of VIDT is 1,000,000,000, with a circulating supply of 842,320,913 VIDT, representing approximately 84% of the total supply.
