## SZNS Contract Architecture

The SZNS contract system defines the decision-making process for Album governance configuration and treasury management.

### SZNS Governance

The governance contract for the sznsDAO uses a Gnosis multisignature wallet to make decisions. This provides a secure and easily modified system for collective governance over the protocol.

### SZNS Token Contract

The SZNS token contract manages the SZNS token economy, and holders of the token hold governance rights over the SZNS DAO.

### Album Factory Contract

The Album Factory defines the contracts created when a user launches an Album. These include the Album Governance Contract, the Album Governance Process Module (a wrapper defining the governance system), and the Album Token Contract.
