Proposal Submission for Voting

Preparing the Proposal Payload


Many proposals allow for long form text to be included, usually under the key description. These provide the opportunity to include markdown if formatted correctly as well as line breaks with \n. If you're using markdown or line breaks it's recommended to put the proposal text into a json file and include that file as part of the CLI proposal, as opposed to individual fields in flags.

Text Proposals

TextProposal are used by delegators to agree to a certain strategy, plan, commitment, future upgrade, or any other statement in the form of text. Aside from having a record of the proposal outcome on the Terp Network chain, a text proposal has no direct effect on Terp Network.

Community Pool

For community pool spend proposals, there are five components:

  1. Title - the distinguishing name of the proposal, typically the way the that explorers list proposals
  2. Description - the body of the proposal that further describes what is being proposed and details surrounding the proposal
  3. Recipient - the Terp Network (bech32-based) address that will receive funding from the Community Pool
  4. Amount - the amount of funding that the recipient will receive in uterp or uthiol.
  5. Deposit - the amount that will be contributed to the deposit (in uterp) from the account submitting the proposal

When an observer selects the proposal, they'll see the description. Not all explorers will show the recipient and amount, so ensure that you verify that the description aligns with the what the governance proposal is programmed to enact. If the description says that a certain address will receive a certain number of TERP, it should also be programmed to do that, but it's possible that that's not the case (accidentally or otherwise).

Parameter Change

Changes to the gov module are different from the other kinds of parameter changes because gov has subkeys, as discussed here.
