Skip to main contentCreating a Proposal
Proposals are the primary mechanism through which decisions are made on ArchDAO. They define specific actions that affect a project’s direction, treasury, or token economics.
Anyone may create a proposal for a project.
What Proposals Can Do
Proposals may be used to:
- Spend USDC from the project treasury
- Issue new tokens
- Update token metadata
- Increase or decrease liquidity provided by the project’s treasury
Each proposal must define a clear and discrete action that can be evaluated by the market.
Going Live
Once a proposal is created, it does not immediately become active.
To go live, token holders must stake tokens in support of the proposal. By default, a proposal requires 50,000,000 tokens to be staked before it becomes active.
Staking exists solely to prevent spam and low-quality proposals. Staked tokens are not locked and are not subject to slashing.
Only one proposal may be live at any given time.
