Step-by-step governance workflow from proposal origination through voting, approval, execution, and onchain verification. Governance actions follow a structured framework while allowing flexibility across different proposal types and operational contexts.

Proposals may relate to: • Treasury allocations • Equity investments • Liquidity provisioning • Ecosystem incentives • Governance parameter updates • Product or infrastructure initiatives • Operational matters

​
1. Proposal Origination

Proposals may originate through: • Community discussion • SubDAO initiatives • Strategic mandates • Time-sensitive opportunities In some cases, preliminary work is conducted within a SubDAO or operational unit before formal submission. For material proposals, written briefings or proposal drafts are typically posted in the XMAQUINA Discord forum, and community calls may be held to provide context and address questions prior to voting.

​
2. Proposal Formation

A formal proposal outlines: • Strategic rationale • Scope and objectives • Capital requirements, if applicable • Risks and potential outcomes Depending on governance type, proposals may be initiated by authorized DAO units or eligible xDEUS holders.

​
3. Voting Venue

Proposals are routed based on the treasury system they affect. • Aragon OSx is used for binding proposals that affect assets held directly within the onchain DAO treasury smart contracts. • Snapshot is used for signaling votes and for proposals that authorize actions executed through the governance-approved multisig treasury. In all cases, capital movements follow approved DAO proposals. Each proposal is submitted to a single governance venue based on its scope.

​
4. Approval

Approval mechanics depend on governance type. Certain proposals operate under optimistic governance and pass unless vetoed within the defined time-lock period. Other proposals require explicit voting and must meet quorum thresholds. Within explicit voting: • Some proposals use a binary yes or no format • Others may use multiple-choice or weighted voting formats The voting format is defined in each proposal and visible within the governance venue. Governance parameters may evolve through future proposals.

​
5. Execution

Once approved, execution occurs through the appropriate treasury system: • Onchain treasury contracts • Governance-authorized multisig infrastructure for operational settlement Execution strictly follows the approved mandate.

​
6. Verification

Treasury wallet addresses are available via the DAO Portal. All material capital movements follow approved DAO proposals, and balances and transactions can be independently verified onchain.
