Through a proposal voting process they can change the parameters that govern the options exchange operations, such as: * Credit / Debt interest rates * The exchange's payment processing fee * The stablecoins accepted by the exchange * Registered underlying price feeds (against which options are written) * Collateral model parameters (ex: volatility period, multipliers, etc) Besides that token holders can also submit proposals for using the exchange's excess capital, for instance for being used as additional collateral for covering loans from defaulting debtors, for being invested in the protocol's continuing development, or simply for being distributed among token holders themselves. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.defioptions.org/protocol/roles/token-holders.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
