# Single Option Voting Token

The Single Option Voting (SOV) token within PartyNode DAO is the HOST Token. The HOST Token is technically an ERC20 'shares' token within a Moloch DAO. The HOST token is non-transferable. A shares token is considered, by Moloch standards, to be the native 'voting token' of a DAO that inherently governs the Safes connected to said DAO.

The shares token is an upgradable erc20 that primarly uses the Openzeplin governance imports.

BaalVotes.sol: Is based off of the OpenZepplin ERC20Votes.sol except that writeCheckpoint uses block.timestamp instead of block.number.
