Off-Chain Governance (Snapshot)
Noderr uses Snapshot for its off-chain governance process. Snapshot is a gas-less, off-chain voting platform that allows for easy participation in community decision-making. All major decisions, from protocol upgrades to treasury allocations, begin as proposals on Snapshot.
This guide explains how you can participate.
1. Connect to the Noderr Snapshot Space
To participate, you need to connect your wallet to the official Noderr Snapshot space.
- Space URL: https://snapshot.org/#/noderr.eth
Once you connect your wallet, Snapshot will automatically calculate your voting power based on your staked NODR and your TrustFingerprint™ score at the time a proposal was created (the "snapshot" block).
2. Understanding Proposals
Proposals on Snapshot are used to signal community sentiment and come to a consensus before any on-chain action is taken. You will find several types of proposals:
- Temperature Check: An informal poll to gauge community interest in a new idea or feature.
- Formal Proposal: A structured proposal with a detailed description, technical specifications, and clear voting choices (e.g., For, Against, Abstain). These are the proposals that, if passed, will proceed to an on-chain vote.
- Treasury Allocation: Proposals related to the management and spending of the NoderrDAO treasury.
3. Voting on Proposals
When a proposal is active, you can cast your vote. Your voting power is applied to the choice you select.
- No Gas Fees: Since Snapshot is an off-chain platform, voting does not cost any gas. You only need to sign a message with your wallet to confirm your vote.
- Transparency: All votes are publicly visible, allowing for a transparent decision-making process.
4. Creating a Proposal
Community members who meet a minimum voting power threshold can create their own proposals. This threshold is in place to prevent spam and ensure that proposals are submitted by engaged stakeholders.
Before creating a formal proposal, it is highly recommended to:
- Start a Discussion: Use the Noderr community channels (e.g., Discord, forum) to discuss your idea and gather feedback.
- Conduct a Temperature Check: Create an informal poll on Snapshot to see if there is sufficient support to move forward with a formal proposal.
- Draft a Formal Proposal: If the temperature check is positive, draft a detailed proposal that clearly outlines the what, why, and how of your idea. Include specific implementation details if it involves a technical change.
Once a formal proposal on Snapshot passes with the required quorum and approval threshold, it moves to the On-Chain Governance phase for execution.
