After Submission

Once your proposal is successfully created:

  • The required number of votes is reached
  • The voting deadline expires

Important Notes

  • Only General Partners can create and vote on proposals

  • Consider discussing your proposal with other members before submitting to increase chances of approval

Voting Process

After your proposal is created, other General Partners can:

  1. View the proposal details
  2. Cast their votes (Yes/No or other options depending on proposal type)
  3. See real-time voting results
  4. Discuss the proposal with other members

The proposal will be automatically executed if it receives the required consensus according to your DAO's governance rules.
