# Governance process ## Proposals To submit a governance proposal, proposers need at least 0.5% of CTRL tokens delegated to them. This is to prevent spamming. ### Common types of proposals include: * **Parameter Change**: Adjust protocol parameters. * **Add Tab**: Create a new Tab currency, giving it a name and pegging it to Bitcoin or a fiat currency. * **Freeze Tab**: Temporarily disable all operations for a Tab currency to protect it from potential threats. * **Unfreeze Tab**: Re-enable a frozen Tab currency once the threat is resolved. * **Add Oracle**: Approve a new price oracle for the protocol. * **Remove Oracle**: Remove an existing price oracle. * **Add Reserve**: Accept a new wrapped/bridged ERC-20 representation of Bitcoin as reserves. * **Remove Reserve**: Remove an existing wrapped/bridged ERC-20 representation of Bitcoin from reserves. * **Ctrl+Alt+Del**: De-peg a Tab from its fiat currency. ## Voting After a proposal is submitted, there is a 2-day review period. Then, a 3-day voting period begins. #### During this time, delegates can vote: * **Yes**: In favor of the proposal. * **No**: Against the proposal. * **Abstain**: Neither for nor against, but the vote counts towards the quorum. #### For a proposal to be accepted, it must meet these conditions: 1. **Quorum**: A minimum level of voter participation. 2. **Threshold**: A majority of votes must be in favor. If accepted, the proposal is placed in a timelock for 2 days before it can be implemented. ## Execution Smart contracts manage the voting process. Each proposal has a Proposal Contract with specific actions. Once a proposal is accepted, the proposer can execute it after the timelock, and the changes are automatically applied by the proposal handler. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
