Prerequisites
- A wallet with DDX voting power or delegated votes.
- Access to the official governance discussion surfaces.
- An active proposal that is currently open for voting.
Step 1: Open the current proposal context
- Start from Community Resources.
- Open the official Governance Forum thread for the proposal you want to review.
- Follow the linked DIP or governance-process references so you know whether the proposal is still a draft, already proposed on-chain, or queued for execution.
Step 2: Confirm your wallet and voting power
- Connect the wallet that holds DDX or has delegated voting power.
- Confirm the proposal is currently open for voting before you attempt to vote.
- Record the proposal title, ID, and voting deadline so you can verify the correct item after signing.
Step 3: Review the proposal with the right context open
- Read the forum summary and any linked implementation notes or DIP documents.
- If the proposal changes market or risk parameters, open Trading Safeties and Guards and Margin Requirements in parallel.
- If the proposal changes governance or operating posture, keep Regulatory and Compliance Approach open as your background route.
Step 4: Cast the vote
- Open the current governance voting surface linked from the proposal context.
- Choose your vote option.
- Approve the wallet signature or transaction.
- Save the transaction hash or receipt immediately after submission.
Step 5: Verify the recorded result
- Refresh the proposal page after the transaction confirms.
- Verify your vote appears under the correct proposal and wallet address.
- Keep the transaction hash until the voting window closes and the proposal moves to its next state.
