# On-chain proposals

After off-chain proposals are converted to on-chain, the proposal becomes immutable.

### How Voting Works

The DAO supports two voting methods for operational decisions:

1. **Linear Voting**
   * Each locked token gives one vote
   * Best for straightforward decisions
   * Direct representation of token holdings
2.  **Quadratic Voting**
   * Voting power is the square root of locked tokens
   * Reduces the influence of large token holders
   * Examples:
     * 100 tokens = 10 voting power
     * 400 tokens = 20 voting power
     * 900 tokens = 30 voting power

### Key Governance Rules

* 🎯 **Minimum Support**: close to 2% of total SCI supply must vote for a proposal to be valid (subject to change)
* ⏰ **Voting Period**: 2 weeks to cast your vote (subject to change)
* 🔒 **Lock Period**: Tokens stay locked for 2 weeks after voting (subject to change)
* 🔄 **Vote Changes**: Allowed within first 1-12 hours of voting (subject to change)
* 📊 **Minimum Participation**: Need at least 1 SCI token to vote (subject to change)

### Reward Calculation for Participation using PO tokens

*Earn PO tokens for participating*

1. **Voting Streaks**
   * Vote on consecutive proposals to build a streak
   * Current maximum streak of 5 proposals
   * Higher streak = higher PO token rewards
2. **Reward multiplier**
   * **You will obtain a reward multiplier based on the number of locked SCI**
   * Formula:
     * Multiplier = Locked SCI / Locked Token Multiplier Base
   * The base for the token locked multiplier is currently set at 5,000 SCI
   * If you have 50,000 SCI locked, the multiplier is calculated as follows:
     * 50,000 / 5,000 = 10. Your reward multiplier will be 10.
   * More tokens locked = higher reward multiplier
3. **Total PO Token Reward calculation**
   * Total PO token reward = voting streak x reward multiplier
   * <mark style="color:red;">**! PO tokens are only awarded for proposals that reach quorum!**</mark>

### Proposal Journey

1. **Active Phase**
   * Proposal is open for voting
   * Community discusses and debates
   * Votes are being collected
2. **Scheduling Phase**
   * Proposal has passed
   * Preparing for implementation
   * Delay prior to on-chain execution (if applicable)
3. **Execution Phase (only for on-chain proposal execution)**
   * Changes are implemented
   * On-chain actions are taken
4. **Completion (only for off-chain proposal execution)**
   * Proposal is fully implemented off-chain
   * Can only be called by admin
5. **Cancellation (if needed)**
   * Proposal fails to meet requirements
   * Community rejects the proposal
   * Technical issues found

### Best Practices for Participation

1. **Before Voting**
   * Read the full proposal carefully
   * Understand which voting method is being used
   * Check the required quorum and timeline
2. **During Voting**
   * Consider community discussions
   * Vote according to your analysis
   * Monitor proposal progress
   * Change your initial vote if it falls within the vote change time
3. **After Voting**
   * Track proposal execution
   * Stay informed about outcomes
   * Participate in implementation discussions

Remember: Active participation in operations governance helps shape the future of the DAO and can earn you additional rewards through PO tokens.
