Proposal template
This is a reference template for official governance proposals at the API3 DAO. It should not be seen as a definitive template but used as a guideline of possible things to consider for an official proposal
- Title - Post each proposal with a clear title around its objective. This will look as follows: [Proposal] - XXXXXX. Ideally, this matches the title of the proposal that was submitted on-chain
- ~~Ordering - Please do not assign a number to your proposal. The ordering of the proposal will be assigned by moderators according to the numbering of the DAO~~
- Detail - While we encourage everyone to participate, please try to consider all viewpoints and provide a deep level of detail regarding the thoughts that went into a proposal
- Voting - Not every proposal will be ratified. There is no hard criteria regarding what deems a proposal eligible to be implemented, though a good rule of thumb is the more engagement it has, the more likely it is to be incorporated
- Ethos - The goal of governance is to create a more inclusive and empowering system for all stakeholders. We encourage proposal creators to center their ideas around how a proposal helps API3 users, partners and DAO members and how the suggestions benefit the ecosystem in the long-term.
When you’re ready to submit a proposal, please follow this format to the best of your ability.
