# GMX DAO Committee Member Election Requirements

## GMX Holdings Requirement

### Purpose

To ensure committee members are highly aligned with GMX’s long-term vision and interests, candidates must meet a minimum GMX token holdings requirement.

### Minimum Holdings Standard

1. **Minimum Threshold** : Candidates must hold at least 5,000 GMX tokens continuously for a minimum of 6 months prior to the election date.

2. **Verification Process**

### Fundamental Rationale

- Demonstrate long-term commitment to the GMX ecosystem
- Ensure candidates have significant financial stakes in the protocol’s success
- Align individual interests of committee members with the protocol’s long-term growth and sustainability

### Additional Considerations

- Token holdings will be publicly disclosed during the election process
- Candidates must maintain the minimum token threshold throughout their committee term
- Any violation of the holdings requirement will result in immediate disqualification or removal from the committee

### Exceptions and Flexibility

- In special circumstances, the DAO may consider alternative mechanisms to prove long-term commitment
- A community review process can be established to evaluate edge cases
