To learn about the core concepts of GnoSwap Governance, visit the Governance page.
Hover your cursor on the arrow icon to expand the menu and click on Governance in the header to visit the Governance page.
Click on Create Proposal on the right side of the Proposals section.
Choose one of three types of proposals supported on GnoSwap Governance.
Text Proposal: Proposals in simple text form containing future upgrade plans, surveys, or statements. Text proposals have no direct effect on the contracts of GnoSwap.
Community Pool Spend: Proposals that request to spend funds from the Community Pool. Once passed and executed, the request amount of tokens will be sent to the recipient's wallet address.
Parameter Change: Proposals that request to change the current parameters of GnoSwap's contracts such as the quorum, emissions, voting periods, etc. Once passed and executed, the parameters will be updated on-chain.
Enter the title and the description of the proposal. Note that the description field supports markdown formatting to allow you to better structure your description. Be sure to use a professional tone and check the grammar of your description.
If you're creating a Community Pool Spend or a Parameter Change proposal, you must be sure to enter valid variables, as they will have direct effects to GnoSwap's community pool or the contracts.
Community Pool Spend Variables
Recipient Address: Enter the address to receive the $GNS tokens.
$GNS Amount: Enter the amount of $GNS tokens to spend from the community pool.
Parameter Change Variables
Realm: Click on the Select Realm input to activate a drop down of realms available to update via governance.
Function: Enter the name of the function.
Arguments: Enter the argument(s) of the function. Arguments should be separated by commas.
Minimum xGNS Holdings
The Submit button is only active if your wallet meets the minimum xGNS holdings requirement. This mechanism exists to prevent spam and to ensure that only those who are truly aligned with GnoSwap can create proposals. This value is subject to change, and can be found at the bottom of the Create Proposal modal.
Once you click on Submit, a pop-up from Adena will appear in a new window, prompting you to approve the transaction. Click on Approve to proceed.
Under Proposals, your newly uploaded proposal will be displayed. Click on the proposal for its details and the current voting results.
If you discover an error or a critical typo in your proposal, you may cancel it. Click on Cancel Proposal on the right side of the proposal card. Note that only the creator of the proposal may cancel it.
When can I cancel proposals?
Proposals can only be cancelled during the Voting Start Delay period of 1 day (modifiable via GnoSwap Governance), if an error is detected. Once the voting begins, there is no way to cancel the proposal. There are no penalties for canceling a proposal.
