# 6. Manage Validators

### How to add or remove Validators

You can also control validators. In DeXe DAO Studio, validators are like security guards. They are chosen people or systems that watch over the organization's actions and vote on approved ideas, making sure the DAO's money is safe. DAO members can choose or remove validators, ensuring everyone has a fair say and keeping things decentralized. Validators also handle everyday costs, making things run smoothly with clear, responsible actions.

Designate trusted DAO members as validators for a secondary vote on passed proposals, filtering out potentially malicious ones. Validators can also initiate exclusive votes on special proposals.
