1. What Is a Proposal
A proposal is a formal suggestion for a change or action submitted to a governance system — in DAOs, a document (or on-chain transaction) describing what should happen and why, which the community votes on.
2. How It Works
A proposal defines the change (parameter, spend, upgrade), motivation, and implementation. It passes through stages: discussion, submission (often requiring a token threshold or proposer bond), voting, and execution (if approved, with optional timelock). Proposals can be on-chain (enforced by contract) or off-chain (signaling). Quality and clarity determine community trust.
3. Why It Matters
Proposals are how decentralized systems make decisions — from treasury allocation to protocol parameters. A strong proposal process prevents abuse, encourages informed voting, and builds legitimacy. Proposal outcomes shape the protocol's direction and resource allocation.
4. Key Facts
- On-chain proposals usually require a minimum token balance to submit
- Voting periods and quorums guard legitimacy
- Timelocks delay execution for security review
- Proposal templates improve quality and comparability
