Excuse me, could you please elaborate on what the governance token in a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) represents? As I understand, a DAO is a decentralized community governed by a set of rules encoded on a blockchain, and the governance token serves as a key component in this structure. Could you further explain its function and importance within the DAO ecosystem? Specifically, how does it enable members to participate in decision-making processes and what kind of influence does it wield over the direction of the DAO?

I'm curious, can a governance token truly function as a utility token as well? I understand that governance tokens are typically designed to empower holders with voting rights and influence over decisions within a decentralized organization or network. But, could such a token also provide practical, everyday uses or utilities beyond just governance? For example, could it be used to access exclusive services, unlock discounts, or facilitate transactions within the ecosystem? I'm interested in exploring the blurred lines between these two token types and understanding the potential benefits and drawbacks of a hybrid approach.
