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 ``` --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.hypersign.id/hypersign-identity-network/governance/proposals.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
