Current Governance Parameters

General Governance

  • Quorum: The required minimum number of voting power in support of a proposal for it to succeed (this value is fixed and not a percentage of total voting power).

  • Timelock Duration: The timelock is a speed bump for calls. It requires calls to wait for a defined period before they can be executed. After a call is registered, the call can be removed during the waiting period, and an authorized address can extend the waiting period only once.

  • Voting Period: The total voting period in which votes can be cast. [Minimum voting period][extra voting period] is the layout of the total time for voting.

  • Minimum Voting Period: The minimum voting time before a vote can be executed.

  • Extra Voting Period: The remaining time beyond the minimum voting period in which votes can be cast.

  • Vesting Vault Token Multiplier: The vesting vault contract is used to set up long-term grants for core contributors to the Element ecosystem. It is also a voting vault so that community members can vote with vested but unclaimed tokens and unvested tokens. The multiplier for voting power on the vesting vault allows locked / vesting positions to still have voting power in the governance system and does so by using a defined multiplier for the vested tokens over unvested.

  • Proposal Threshold: The amount of voting power needed to submit a governance proposal on-chain.

GSC Parameters

  • GSC Delegation Threshold: A threshold of delegated voting power, giving delegates a seat on the GSC. This comes with additional governance powers within the system, and as a result, additional responsibilities.

  • GSC Quorum: The required minimum number of GSC members needed to support a proposal for it to succeed.

  • GSC Proposal Threshold: The amount of GSC members needed to propose a GSC vote on-chain.
