# Governance Protocol

Our governance protocol aims to facilitate smooth protocol upgrades while enabling the community to actively participate in shaping the future of the YieldX ecosystem.

### <mark style="color:green;">Proposal Submission</mark>

**$YIELDX** serves as the governance token for submitting proposals. Users must hold a minimum of 0.01% $YIELDX tokens to propose changes, ensuring serious contributions.

### <mark style="color:green;">Voting Process</mark>

* **Voting Delay**: 1 day to allow for deliberation.
* **Voting Period**: 5 days.
* **Approval Threshold**: A proposal must gain 1% of the total $YIELDX supply to pass.

### <mark style="color:green;">Vesting & Voting Rights</mark>

Users with vesting $YIELDX tokens (team members, advisors, and early investors) retain full voting rights, ensuring equal participation.

### <mark style="color:green;">Snapshot Voting</mark>

Voting will occur via snapshot voting mechanisms, allowing token holders to vote off-chain based on their token holdings at the time of the snapshot.
