Voting on Minswap Proposals

Voting on Minswap Governance Proposals

Minswap's governance lets $MIN holders decide the protocol's future. This guide explains how to read a proposal, cast your vote, and what metadata to check.


Understand the proposal view

  • Proposal details (red area in screenshot) Links, references, and context so you know exactly what you're voting on (e.g., Cardanoscan links, treasury addresses, summary text).

  • Cast your vote (green area) The options defined by the proposer (e.g., "Yes, pass the proposal" / "No, do not pass the proposal").

  • Votes list (blue area) Current votes showing a partial wallet address, the voter's choice, and their voting power.
