Cast a governance vote
- Open the canonical forum thread or DIP for the proposal, then follow its linked public voting surface.
- Confirm the proposal is currently in the voting window and record the proposal ID before connecting your wallet.
- Connect the wallet that holds DDX voting power or delegated votes.
- Choose your vote option and review the transaction or signature request carefully.
- Submit the vote and save the transaction hash or receipt immediately.
- Refresh the proposal page and confirm the vote is recorded for the correct wallet and proposal.
Before you submit
- Confirm proposal ID or title.
- Confirm network and wallet address.
- Confirm the vote window has not already closed.
- Confirm whether the wallet is voting with direct holdings or delegated voting power.
- Confirm the page you are using is the public vote surface, not only the discussion thread.
Verify after the vote
- the proposal page shows the expected wallet or voting identity
- the recorded option matches what you intended to submit
- the transaction or signature receipt is saved for later review
Common mistakes
| Mistake | Safer action |
|---|---|
| voting from a wallet with no effective voting power | verify holdings or delegation state before signing |
| confusing discussion-stage threads with the active vote surface | start from the official forum route and follow the proposal’s canonical voting link |
| assuming submission succeeded without checking the proposal page | verify the recorded vote after confirmation |
