# Roles

Roles represent the fundamental functionality of the Governance process. Having a certain role means holding one of the following NFTs. 

The NFTs are a badge of honour that represents members taking part in the Governance process. While complete functionality is yet to be revealed, the possibilities are endless. The most common use will be offering access to various features to the holders. 

While earning a role has certain requirements, there is no limit on how many roles a member can hold, as long as the community whitelists that user for holding that specific role.

### The Strategist

**Strategist** role is granted to community members who initiate a Proposal. They have the option to fully fund proposal, or leave the funding up to **Boosters**.&#x20;

This role stacks with other roles. A member can be a **Strategist** on one proposal, a **Booster** on another and a **Voter** on a few other.

### The Booster

**Booster** role represents members who help fund a proposal. This role implies putting up collateral along with the vote.&#x20;

The funding floor for a **Booster** is 5% of the asking amount, while offering the possibility of going up to 100%.&#x20;

Please note funding has a max limit. If that limit is reached, the **Booster** role cannot be acquired.

### The Voter

**Voter** role is offered to any member who takes part in the Governance vote.

### The Developer

**Developer** role is given to the members performing the development portion of the task(s) in the proposal.

This role does not require any collateral or even a vote from the user. It does require that the user is whitelisted by the community to work on YFD projects.&#x20;

**The Developer** can hold other roles as well, even the **Strategist** role - meaning an entity can propose a project, fund it and build it. This scenario would be done to gain access to the YFD ecosystem.

## 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://elanu-sheetmaster.gitbook.io/y-foundry/community/roles.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.
