# Building BLOCKS

From powering our industry partnerships to governing our DAO, the **BLOCKS** token is a multi-faceted utility token at the heart of the **BLOCKS** DAO LLC. Key utilities for the BLOCKS token are:

1. Tokenized Community Participation - Work alongside the DAO collective and collaborate on initiatives that bridge traditional industries onto blockchain technologies. These chat groups are token permissioned Discord servers outlined further in the GitBook [here](/blocks/discord-server/membership-tiers.md).

2. Governance - Have a voice in the operations of the organization. Utilize the BLOCKS Token to submit proposals and vote on collective decisions driving the organization further. Governance proposals can be viewed, submitted, and voted on [here](https://snapshot.org/#/blocks-dao.eth).

3. Platforms - Receive benefits from strategic partners by participating in the DAO.

4. Software Development Kits - Community built software and decentralized applications built on top of the BLOCKS network.

5. Network Participation - BLOCKS will become a unit of measure across an ecosystem of platforms and partnerships.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://blocks-1.gitbook.io/blocks/blocks-utility/blocks-utility.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
