Proposals & Voting

Stargate is governed entirely by Stargate token holders via voting escrow.

Proposals

Changes to the Stargate protocol must go through the Community Forum with a proposal. Proposals should follow the guidelines stipulated in the Governance Process Overview post.

The Voting Process

The voting process is designed to drive discussion for all proposals, which are then effectuated upon community approval and voting. Proposals must adhere to the below governance process.

• Proposal Stage

  All STG Token holder are eligible to submit non-binding proposals, which may result in a governance vote by holders of veSTG voting power.

• Voting

  Proposals with a positive poll sentiment can be submitted to Snapshot by any holder of 50,000 veSTG, or from Admin wallets on Snapshot. Core and Protocol proposals have voting periods ranging between 24 hours & 120 hours.

Proposal Blocktimes

Note: When voting on a proposal, an STG holder's voting power equals the holder's veSTG balance at the blocktime the proposal was submitted. As such, any veSTG acquired after the submission of a proposal cannot be used to vote on the proposal.
