Governance Process

Phase 1: Request for Comment (RFC)

The purpose of the Request for Comment is to allow the community time to digest a proposal, comment, and ask questions about a particular proposal.

• Timeframe: Minimum 7 days

• Format: Governance Forum Post labelled "RFC - [Title]"

• Purpose: Community discussion and feedback

• Requirements:

  • Clear proposal description

  • Impact analysis

  • Implementation details

  • Community feedback period

Phase 2: Governance Proposal

Phase 2 is the final step of the governance process. If this vote passes, then a change will be enacted on-chain.

• Timeframe: Total 11 days

• 2 day waiting period

• 7 day voting period

• 2 day timelock

• Format: On-chain proposal

• Quorum: 50M LOCKS or staked LOCKS

• Delegation: Proposer needs 5M LOCKS or staked LOCKS delegated

• Requirements:

  • Professional code audit for technical changes

  • Forum post labelled "Governance Proposal [GP###] - [Title]"

  • Links to previous phases and audit reports
