# COLLAB > COLLAB is a system of scientific DAOs on GenesisL1, an EVM chain (chain id 29, coin L1): governance with shares and votes, a treasury, tokens with DeSciFi liquidity, sealed data with CIPNFT and models with GL1F. Version 2.2.0 is an alpha with no external audit. COLLAB in one minute, who each part of the documentation is for, and every page by group: using COLLAB, running a site and developing it. This is the documentation of the COLLAB site.
