This action can increase your influence in governance decisions, reflecting your level of commitment to the community. Member voting power per pool is determined by: User's total stake ([Registration](/start-here/join-a-community.md) + additional stake if any) **+** [Pool system](/coordination-hierarchy/images-and-media.md) (pool type). {% hint style="info" %} Member voting power varies based on pool system. See more details [here](/coordination-hierarchy/images-and-media.md#pool-systems) {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
