## Collection Contract Architecture

The Collection contract architecture combines well known contracts with new flexible governance tools to create a system that is simple and future proof out of the box.

### Governance Contract

The core of Collection DAO governance and decision-making uses a Gnosis multisig. The Gnosis safe provides an extremely secure and flexible option to build out a decentralized decision-making system managing the Collection assets.

### DAO Governance Process

The DAO Governance Process defines parameters around proposal execution. Once a proposal passes, there is an [arbitration period](/core-components/collections.md#arbitration-and-on-chain-execution) that opens using an oracle that human-verifies the outcome of the decision. Successful verification triggers the execution of the batched transactions defined in the proposal.

### Token Contract

The Collection token contract mints at Collection creation and responds to requests for future minting by the governance contract.
