Governance Process Guideline

Welcome to the Tinyman Governance Forum, where our community shapes the future of Tinyman, embracing decentralization and effective governance. Here, every community member can propose, discuss, and evolve ideas in a structured, transparent environment.

This forum is designed as the starting point for all governance activities. You’ll begin by discussing and refining proposals with community feedback, then move these proposals through a structured process of validation and execution, which includes both forum-based discussions & voting and on-chain voting. Here’s how you can participate:

Governance Forum Process:
This forum is your first step in the governance process, where you can engage with the community to refine ideas, gather initial feedback, and join voting.

  • Proposal Discussion: Start by posting your idea in the 'PROPOSAL DISCUSSION’ category to solicit community feedback and further develop your proposal based on the discussions.
  • Proposal Submission: After refining your proposal with community input, submit it to the ‘GOVERNANCE PROPOSALS’ category. This includes a more detailed version of your proposal following a specific template that outlines the goal, detailed actions, and expected outcomes.
  • Community Polling: Proposals that achieve sufficient support in the forum through community polling (requiring at least 50 votes and over 50% approval) can move forward. For the next 3-6 months, forum polling is required before moving to the on-chain part to prevent abuse. This ensures that proposals have community backing before progressing.
  • Proposal Template: Utilize our ‘PROPOSAL TEMPLATE’ to ensure your submission is comprehensive and meets all requirements for voting.

On-Chain Voting Process:
Please note that on-chain voting will become available with the official launch of Tinyman Governance and Token, completing the full governance cycle.

  • On-Chain Submission: Successful proposals are then submitted for on-chain voting on https://app.tinyman.org/, where they must follow a structured process including a waiting period and a voting period. The proposer must hold a minimum amount of $TINY Power to initiate it. Proposals that do not meet the forum approval criteria will be delisted from the Tinyman UI.
  • ​​Waiting Period: Once on-chain, proposals enter a waiting period (approximately 2 days) to ensure all community members are informed.
  • Voting Period: The proposal is open for voting for 7 days, allowing all stakeholders to participate.
  • Execution: If approved, proposals are automatically executed after a 2-day timelock, integrating the changes into the Tinyman ecosystem.

This structured approach ensures thorough community involvement and the integrity of the governance process, facilitating the automation and implementation of community-driven upgrades.

Thank you for being here! We hope this guide helps you navigate and participate effectively in shaping Tinyman’s future.
