# 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 <Proposal ID>
```

## 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 <Proposal ID> <Vote=(yes|no|abstain|no_with_veto)> \
--from <wallet-address-associated-with-validator> \
--chain-id <Chain ID>
```

Example: Voting `yes` to a proposal of proposal id 3.

```
hid-noded tx gov vote 3 yes --from <wallet-address-associated-with-validator> --chain-id jagrat
```
