# Introduction **Votico** is a decentralized governance (DAO) protocol built on the Bitcoin network and designed as a core part of the **Asigna** ecosystem. While Asigna provides multisignature vaults for securely managing Bitcoin-native assets across multiple participants, Votico extends this functionality by enabling decentralized decision-making. It allows asset holders to create proposals and vote on them using the same Bitcoin-based assets managed within Asigna. Together, Asigna and Votico form a unified ecosystem where assets can be securely stored, managed, and governed on Bitcoin — combining multisig security with transparent, on-chain governance. --- # 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.
