🗳️ SUITE Governance
How proposals work, voting, and the Council system.
🎯 TL;DR
Anyone holding SUITE can vote on proposals. Create proposals for 10 SUITE (Council members are free). Earn governance points for participating!
💎 $SUITE vs Credits
Governance requires real on-chain $SUITE tokens — not Credits.
Credits are for earning rewards (reviews, ads, etc.) and can be claimed as real SUITE later. But to vote or create proposals, you need actual SUITE in your wallet. This ensures:
- ✅ Sybil resistance (can't fake balances)
- ✅ Real skin in the game
- ✅ Verifiable on-chain ownership
📍 How Proposals Work
1. Submit an Idea (💡 Ideas)
Connect your wallet and create a proposal. It costs 10 SUITE to prevent spam. Council members can submit for free.
- Choose a category: Treasury, Feature, Charity, or Other
- Write a clear title and description
- Your proposal starts in the "Ideas" column
- You earn +50 governance points
2. Community Votes (🗳️ Voting)
Once the Council moves a proposal to voting, the community can vote:
- Connect wallet and sign a message (no gas fees)
- Your vote weight = your SUITE balance
- Vote YES 👍 or NO 👎
- You earn +10 governance points per vote
3. Council Review (✅ Approved)
The Council reviews voting results and moves approved proposals forward.
- Council members are multi-sig holders of the Treasury
- They ensure proposals are implementable
- Approved proposals move to implementation
4. Implementation (🚀 Shipped)
Once implemented, proposals are marked as Shipped.
- The original author earns +200 governance points
- Shipped proposals are celebrated in Discord
