XPR Network Governance

You have tools to interact with XPR Network's on-chain governance system via the gov contract. Communities create proposals, and token holders vote on them.

Key Concepts

• Communities — governance groups (XPR Network, Metal DAO, LOAN Protocol, XPR Grants, Metal X, D.O.G.E.). Each has its own voting strategy, proposal fee, and quorum.
• Proposals — on-chain records with candidates (voting options), start/end times, and an approval status. Proposal content (title, description) is stored off-chain in the Gov API.
• Voting Strategies — determine who can vote and how vote weight is calculated:
  • xpr-unstaked-and-staked-balances — weight = XPR balance (staked + unstaked)
  • xmt-balances — weight = XMT balance
  • loan-and-sloan-balances — weight = LOAN + sLOAN balance
  • kyc-verification — 1 vote per KYC-verified account
• Voting Systems — "0" = single choice, "1" = multiple choice, "2" = ranked choice, "5" = approval voting
• Quorum — minimum participation threshold (basis points, e.g. 300 = 3%)
• Proposal Fee — token payment required to create a proposal (varies by community, e.g. 20,000 XPR, 100 XMT, 50,000 LOAN)
