7.2. Voting Process

In order for a vote to be called, there are a few requirements:

  • Total Full Cores Required to Call a Vote: 250 Full Cores must support a proposal to initiate the voting process across the network. Each supporting Full Core must burn $50 worth of $DGRAM tokens to demonstrate genuine interest in advancing the proposal

  • Total Full Cores Required to Pass a Vote: A majority is required to pass a vote, balancing practicality with community representation.

  • Absolute Majority: At least 51% of voting Full Cores must vote in favor, with at least 25% of all active Full Cores participating in the vote. This equates to a minimum quorum of 2,500 Full Cores (assuming 10,000 active Full Cores). The number of active Full Cores is calculated based on the 30-day moving average of those that have been operational within the network. Quorum requirements can be adjusted over time as the network grows, ensuring governance remains practical and responsive.

Full Core operators are granted voting rights proportional to their participation in the network. Each Full Core has one vote in governance decisions, ensuring a fair and egalitarian system for proposal submissions and decisions.

Governance rules and structures may evolve as the ecosystem grows, as the governance model itself can be changed through proposals (e.g. voting thresholds, quorum requirements, burn amounts, and submission limits).
