# TWS Introduction

The World State (TWS) is a **fully decentralized Web3 platform** designed to unite people and promote self-governance for communities and organizations, based on the principles of Direct Democracy.

TWS offers a wide suite of Web3 services and solutions tailored for every community, requiring **no coding skills** and **fully customizable**.

TWS provides individuals, communities, organizations with huge opportunities by creating an environment of verified participants and reliable information.

Citizens of TWS and community members interact with a decentralized on-chain protocol directly, without any mediation from moderators and administrators. All activities and options are automated, predictable, and transparent.

The TWS protocol operates on the <img src="/files/mpN1RsjKFaK5hVCidaCk" alt="" data-size="line">POS Polygon blockchain, which ensures security comparable to Ethereum, but with very low network gas fees and higher transaction speeds. For instance, the gas fee for voting is less than $0.01 (1 cent).
