+
+A [dai.js](https://github.com/makerdao/dai.js) plugin for interacting with the MKR governance system. This plugin makes it easy to integrate dai governance into frontend applications such as the [maker governace dashboard](https://vote.makerdao.com/). You can use it to vote, cast proposals, query the voting contract, create a vote proxy, and much more.
+
+## Installation
+
+The Dai Governance Plugin requires **dai.js 0.9.2 or later.**
+
+```
+$ npm install --save @makerdao/dai-plugin-governance
+```
+
+or
+
+```
+$ yarn add @makerdao/dai-plugin-governance
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+We will have several examples once the api is more stable. Here is one to give you some sense of how this plugin can be used:
+
+```js
+import governancePlugin from '@makerdao/dai-plugin-governance';
+import Maker from '@makerdao/dai';
+
+(async () => {
+  const maker = Maker.create('browser', {
+    plugins: [governancePlugin]
+  });
+  await maker.authenticate();
+  await maker.service('chief').lock(10);
+})();
+```
+
+This example will initiate a MetaMask transaction to lock 10 MKR into the maker voting system.
+
