Welcome to the Tinyman Governance Forum, where our community shapes the future of [Tinyman](https://tinyman.org/), 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’](https://gov.tinyman.org/c/proposal-discussions/13) 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’](https://gov.tinyman.org/c/governance-proposals/14) 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’](https://gov.tinyman.org/t/governance-proposal-template/42) 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/](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.
