Minswap Governance Proposals
Creating a Governance Proposal on Minswap
Minswap’s DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) allows its community to directly shape the protocol’s future. By creating governance proposals, $MIN token holders can suggest improvements, request treasury funding, or adjust key parameters that affect the protocol. This ensures that Minswap remains transparent, community-driven, and aligned with the needs of its users.
Why Create a Governance Proposal?
A governance proposal is your opportunity to influence the future of Minswap. By submitting one, you can:
Suggest updates to fee structures, farming pools, or treasury allocations.
Propose new initiatives that benefit the ecosystem.
Secure funding for community projects, audits, or tooling.
Ensure the protocol evolves in a decentralised, transparent way.
In short, proposals are how the community makes meaningful decisions together.
The Two Types of Proposals
When starting a proposal, you must first choose the type:
Constitutional
These proposals amend the DAO Operating Agreement or its processes.
Examples:
Updating fee-sharing mechanisms.
Revising governance parameters.
Adjusting quorums or legal obligations.
Changing token mechanisms or addressing high-risk issues.
Non-Constitutional
These proposals are less formal and focus on funding or feature additions.
Examples:
Requesting treasury grants.
Introducing new protocol features without smart contract changes.
Establishing working groups.
The Two Phases of Proposals
Every proposal goes through two voting phases:
Phase 1: Temperature Check
Duration: 1 week.
Purpose: To gauge community interest with a preliminary vote.
Outcome: If approved, the proposal advances to the Official Vote.
Phase 2: Official Vote
Duration: 1 week.
Purpose: The DAO makes its final decision on your proposal.
Outcome: If approved, the proposal is enacted.
This two-step process ensures that ideas are discussed, refined, and only implemented if they receive broad community support.
Submitting a Proposal for Discussion
Before making an on-chain proposal, you must first share your idea on the Minswap Governance Forum: 👉 Minswap Proposal Forum
This allows the community to review, debate, and refine your proposal before it reaches a vote.
