Proposal submission

A DAO's proposal submission configuration manages the rules around submitting a proposal for voting.

How to update the proposal submission configuration

To change the proposal submission configuration of a DAO, you must submit a governance proposal containing the Update Proposal Submission Config action from the DAO Governance category.

If you have multiple choice proposals enabled, you will instead see two different actions, one labeled Update Single Choice Proposal Submission Config and the other Update Multiple Choice Proposal Submission Config. You may configure each proposal type (single and multiple choice) separately, though they should probably be kept in sync so the voting experience is consistent.

Parameters

You can update all of these parameters with the action(s) mentioned above at any time.

Proposal deposit

This is a required deposit someone must put down to create a proposal. This can be the DAO's governance token, if it exists, or any other token on the chain. By default, this is disabled.

Refunding proposal deposits

There are three ways to handle proposal deposits:

1. Always refund proposal deposits, regardless of whether the proposal passes or fails.
2. Only passed proposals refund proposal deposits.
3. Never refund proposal deposits.

tip

You may want to enable this if you are worried about spam.

Proposal submission policy

This determines who is allowed to submit proposals to your DAO. The options are:

• Only members
• Anyone

It defaults to Only members.
