Standardized Proposal Templates
The Terp Network Governance Framework allows for various different types of proposals, both on-chain and off-chain. This section serves as a basic guide for the necessary components of proposals. Depending on the proposal type, certain components may be required. Use this table as a reference sheet for which of the following components are required for your type.
A. Universal Components
All proposals must include the following Proposal Components.
Title - Short and sweet, with the correct tags prefixed. Author(s) - List of authors and contributors involved in the writing of the proposal. Summary - A brief, high-level summary of what changes are being suggested. Summary should be a single sentence, or a bulleted list. Abstract - Abstract is a multi-sentence (short paragraph) technical summary. This should be a very terse and human-readable version of the motivation and specification sections. Someone should be able to read only the abstract to get the gist of what this specification does. Motivation - The motivation section should describe the "why" of this proposal. What problem does it solve? What benefit does it provide to the Terp network?
