How veVIRTUAL governance works

• Onchain proposal creation

  Any wallet holding ≥0.10% of total veVIRTUAL supply can submit a proposal. Once submitted, the proposal enters a 72-hour comment window. During this phase, voting is disabled and all feedback is recorded onchain.

• Snapshot voting

  After the comment window closes, a snapshot is taken of all veVIRTUAL balances. This snapshot locks each wallet’s voting power for that specific proposal. Voting then opens for 72 hours, where veVIRTUAL holders can vote “For” or “Against.”

• Quorum and proposal execution

  A proposal is valid only if it reaches 25% quorum of the total veVIRTUAL supply. If quorum is met, a simple majority (50% + 1) determines the outcome. Passed proposals become eligible for execution.

Governance principles

• Permissionless participation

  Governance is open to all veVIRTUAL holders. No centralized approval is needed to submit, comment, or vote.

• Conviction-based voting power

  Voting power is earned through long-term staking and cannot be rented or delegated. Influence reflects conviction, not capital alone.

• Structured deliberation

  All proposals undergo a fixed discussion and voting cycle to ensure transparency, informed decisions, and community alignment.
