Introduction

Governance on Self Chain empowers the community to make collective decisions regarding the network’s future. By leveraging on-chain voting mechanisms, Self Chain ensures transparency, inclusivity, and decentralization in its decision-making process.

This document outlines how governance works on the Self Chain, including proposal creation, voting mechanisms, and best practices for participation.

The Self Chain Governance Application can be accessed via the following URL: . This platform is integral for managing and engaging in all governance-related activities, providing users with a seamless interface to submit proposals and participate in the decision-making process.

Governance Overview

Self Chain utilizes the Cosmos SDK’s governance module, enabling participants to propose and vote on network upgrades, parameter changes, and other community-driven initiatives.

Key Features

  1. Decentralized Decision-Making: Community stakeholders actively influence the network’s direction.

  2. Proposal Types: From text proposals to funding requests, Self Chain supports diverse proposal categories.

  3. Token-Based Voting: Votes are weighted based on the number of staked or bonded SLF tokens

Proposal Types

Self Chain supports the following proposal types:

  1. Text Proposal: General proposals for signaling community sentiment.

  2. Parameter Change Proposal: Adjustments to critical network parameters (e.g., gas fees, staking requirements).

  3. Community Pool Spend Proposal: Allocation of funds from the community pool to support ecosystem initiatives.

  4. Software Upgrade Proposal: This is for deploying new versions or significant upgrades of Self Chain.

  5. Cancel Software Upgrade Proposal: To halt an already scheduled software upgrade.

Proposals on Self Chain can be submitted through two methods: using the Selfchaind CLI or through the Governance Application. Each method has its own advantages, and users can choose based on their technical expertise and preferences.
