# Proposals **Hypersign Identity Network** provides the facility of Governance, which provides opportunities to suggest changes in the blockchain. These suggestions to improve any aspect of the blockchain are expressed in the form of a **proposal**. A minimum deposit is needed (in $HID) to submit a proposal, and hence any user holding significant $HID can submit one of the following proposals: * Simple Text Proposals * Software Upgrade * Blockchain Parameter Change * Community Grants Proposals status are of following types: * **StatusDepositPeriod** * Time until necessary minimum deposit is made for a proposal * **StatusVotingPeriod** * Time frame during which votes are accepted. * **StatusPassed** * Proposal is passed and successfully executed * **StatusRejected** * Proposal is rejected A successful proposal requires a minimum participation from all stakeholders, known as Quoram. The value is **33.4%** of total voting power Few helpful commands: * Query the list of proposals ``` hid-noded q gov proposals ``` * Query a single proposal with proposal id ``` hid-noded q gov proposal ``` ## Voting Voting is essential is deciding whether a blockchain proposal will be accepted or rejected. Only Validators and their delegators have the ability to vote on proposals. There are four types of vote: * **Yes** * Agreement on the proposal * **No** * Disagreement on the proposal * **Abstain** * Refrains from voting on the proposal * **No With Vote** * Strongly Disagrees on the proposal with intention of discarding the proposal * If **33.4%** or more votes `No With Veto`, the proposal is discarded and the deposit is burned, unlike in above scenarios where the deposit is refunded to the proposer. * This ensures that any spam proposal submission will result in proposer losing their deposit. Run the following command to submit your vote for a proposal: ``` hid-noded tx gov vote \ --from \ --chain-id ``` Example: Voting `yes` to a proposal of proposal id 3. ``` hid-noded tx gov vote 3 yes --from --chain-id jagrat ```
