Create a proposal

What is a proposal?

Proposal is the key element of the voting system. It presents a change suggestion related to a specific organization and enables eligible users to cast their vote.

A specific voting system (single choice, weighted, quadratic, and others) can be selected individually for each proposal.

Voting power for each user is calculated on the basis of the voting strategies selected in the space settings.

Who can create a proposal?

Space controller, admins, authors, and users who are eligible according to the proposal validation strategies defined in the space settings.

{% hint style="danger" %} Proposal limit

Each space has a limit on the number of proposals that can be created daily and monthly. For more details have a look at #proposals-limitations {% endhint %}

Create a proposal

Head to the space which you wish to create your proposal for.
Connect with the wallet provider - make sure the connected wallet is where you hold the tokens relevant to the specific space.
Click New proposal in space sidebar:\
Fill in the following fields:
- Title
- Description (optional, 10K character limit)
- Discussion link (optional)\
Select the desired voting system, specify the possible vote options, and define the duration of your proposal. Make sure you allow enough time for users to vote.\
Click Publish - and that's it! You can see your proposal in the proposals list on the space page.

Snapshot block number

When you create a proposal by default the snapshot block number will be populated with the latest block synced from our node.

{% hint style="warning" %} The voting power of each user will be calculated for the state of the blockchain at this specific snapshot.

It means that if the user acquires required tokens after the proposal has been created, they will not be taken into account for their voting power calculation. {% endhint %}

Proposals limitations

There is a character limit of 10,000 for the description of a proposal.
One address can have a maximum of 10 active proposals at a time, across multiple spaces.
Each space has a limit on the number of proposals created daily and monthly:

Space status	Daily proposal limit	Monthly proposal limit
Turbo	40	200

{% hint style="info" %} Learn more about Space verification and flagging in badges-and-warnings.md. {% endhint %}

You can combine up to 8 voting strategies. The limit also applies to multi-chain strategies.
All testnet spaces will have the same proposal limits as a Verified space
