# Join a DAO

**How do I join a DAO?** 

If a user participates in the fund subscription of a DAO, he/she will become a Holder of the DAO. He/she can also negotiate with the creator of the DAO to participate in the management of the DAO as a manager of the DAO. You can access the home page of a DAO through the link sent to you by the DAO user or by directly searching for DAO on the website.

#### Search

You can search for DAO through the Banner and Explore pages on the website's homepage. Currently only supports searching by DAO name.
