Voting & Proposals

The values and parameters on this page are preliminary and subject to change before launch.

veMSIG holders have the power to shape the future of Meta Signals through on-chain governance voting. This page explains how voting works, what can be governed, and how to participate effectively.

Voting Rights

veMSIG holders can vote on governance proposals that determine the direction of Meta Signals. Voting power is directly proportional to the veMSIG balance.

Aspect	Details
Eligibility	Must hold veMSIG (locked MSIG tokens)
Vote Weight	Equal to veMSIG balance at snapshot time
Calculation	One locked token = one vote × duration multiplier

Proposal Process

Meta Signals governance follows a phased approach, starting with team-controlled proposals and transitioning toward full community governance over time.

Aspect	Current Phase	Future Phase
Proposal Submission	Team only	Community (with veMSIG threshold)
Discussion	Governance forum	Governance forum
Voting	On-chain	On-chain
Execution	Team executes	Timelock + automatic

Current Phase (Initial)

1. Team submits formal proposals for community vote

2. Community discusses ideas in the governance forum

3. Team evaluates which ideas become formal proposals

4. veMSIG holders vote on-chain to approve or reject

Future Phase (Transition)

As the system matures, governance will progressively decentralize:

• Community members can submit proposals directly

• Minimum veMSIG threshold required to create proposals

• Timelock mechanism delays execution for security review

• Automatic execution of approved proposals

During the initial phase, the team retains proposal submission rights to ensure system security and stability. Community governance will be progressively decentralized over time.

What Can Be Governed

veMSIG holders can vote on a wide range of platform decisions across several categories.

Category	Examples
Revenue Allocation	Adjust buyback/company splits within approved ranges
Feature Priorities	Vote on which features to build next
Treasury Deployment	Approve strategic burns, extra rewards, partnerships
Parameter Changes	Staking thresholds, multiplier ranges
Partnerships	Approve major integrations and collaborations

Proposal Passing Criteria

For a governance proposal to be considered valid, it must meet two conditions:

• Quorum: 30% of total veMSIG must vote

• Majority: 51% of voters must approve

If quorum is not met, the vote is invalid, even if a majority voted "Yes."

If quorum is met but less than 51% vote "Yes," the proposal fails.
