Governance Process

PreviousOverviewNextVoting Criteria Summary

Last updated 16 hours ago

AWE Network is a decentralized, community-driven ecosystem that enables governance participation through a structured proposal and voting process. The governance process ensures that all network decisions, from protocol upgrades to ecosystem initiatives, are made transparently and efficiently.

Proposal and Voting Process Flow

Step 1: Ideation Phase

To submit a proposal, community members must first initiate a discussion in the AWE Governance Hub. The proposal should be well-structured, clearly articulated, and categorized correctly.

When posting in the AWE Governance Hub, select the appropriate category and add a prefix to your proposal title:

  • AWE Funding Proposal (AFP): Proposals related to allocating funds from the community treasury (grant programs, ecosystem development, strategic acquisitions)

  • AWE Governance Proposal (AGP): Proposals related to governance structures, framework modifications, quorum adjustments, or security council updates.

  • AWE Community Proposal (ACP): Proposals for offchain initiatives, such as nominating committee members or modifying non-contractual governance mechanisms.

After posting, community members are encouraged to discuss, comment, and refine the proposal. The default Ideation Phase lasts 5 days. If additional discussion is needed, the proposer may extend this phase for up to an additional 5 days.

Step 2: Temp Check

Once the Ideation Phase concludes, the proposer must summarize the refined proposal in the same thread, incorporating community feedback. A poll is then held to ensure community alignment.

At this stage, the proposal receives an official identifier (e.g., AFP-1, AGP-1, or ACP-1).

A 2-day final review period follows, allowing for final feedback before moving forward to voting.

Step 3.1: Offchain Voting on Snapshot (ACP Only)

Relevant only for AWE Community Proposals (ACPs).

If an ACP gains significant community support in the Governance Hub, it proceeds to Snapshot for an offchain vote.

  • The voting period lasts 5 days.

  • Quorum: 0.5% of AWE supply (10M AWE)

  • A simple majority vote is required for the proposal to pass.

This step ensures consensus before implementing community-driven changes that do not require smart contract execution.

Step 3.2: Onchain Voting on Tally (AFPs, AGPs Only)

For proposals that involve smart contract modifications or governance framework updates, the next step is onchain voting via Tally.

  • Any wallet with at least 0.2% of AWE supply (4M AWE) in voting power can submit an onchain proposal via governance contracts on Base through the Tally interface.

  • After the proposal is submitted, there is a 3 day waiting period before the start of onchain voting.

  • Quorum: 10% of AWE supply (200M AWE)

  • Proposals will require a detailed description and the executable code so that the proposed changes are executed automatically if passed.

Step 4: Voting Period

The offchain voting period lasts for 5 days on Snapshot.

The onchain voting period begins 3 days after proposal submission and lasts for 10 days on Tally. During this period, only wallets with delegated voting power can cast votes.

Users can choose between:

  • For ✅

  • Against ❌

  • Abstain ⚪

Step 5: Passing Thresholds & Timelock

For a proposal to pass, it must meet the following requirements:

  • Quorum: At least 10% of AWE supply must be cast as votes.

  • Outcome: More For votes than Against votes.

  • For AGPs (governance changes): Requires a higher margin of support, where For votes > 2x Against votes.

If a proposal fails to meet quorum or does not pass, it is rejected, and no execution occurs.

If the proposal passes, it moves into the Timelock Phase:

  • AFPs, AGPs are subject to a 7-day timelock before execution.

  • This ensures ample time for review, allowing the community to prepare for changes.

Step 6: Execution

Once the 7-day timelock concludes,

  • Any user on the Base network can trigger the execution after the timelock expires.

  • Once executed, the proposal’s executable code is implemented automatically.
