Governance Proposal Types

Eligible Contributor Proposal Types

These types of decisions are exclusively eligible for ApeSwap core contributors to put to a vote:

• Fundamental tokenomic decisions

• BANANA incentive allocations

• Cross-chain decisions

• Amendments to the ApeSwap Constitution

• Mergers and acquisitions

Eligible Community & Contributor Proposal Types

These types of decisions are eligible for anyone with sufficient GNANA to put to a vote:

• New (well-known) farms or tokens to list

• Partnership proposals

• Feature implementations

• Altruistic initiatives & campaigns

• Influencer or marketing collaboration decisions

For added clarity to the above, the following categories are ineligible to vote at a Community Proposal level. The results of proposals that fall into these categories will not be honored, managed through a DAOC approved vote:

• Proposals involving DAO legal entity structure

• Proposals changing the ownership of intellectual property belonging to the ApeSwap DAO

• Changes to usage of treasury and other DAO assets

• Tokenomic decisions (e.g., emission reductions)

• Nonsensical or non-actionable proposals
