Governance actions follow a structured framework while allowing flexibility across different proposal types and operational contexts. High Level Architecture (7) 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](https://discord.gg/xmaquina) 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](https://app.aragon.org/dao/base-mainnet/0xfEA21e0500022F34dE0a02Ae3A7D04dF923Ed020/dashboard?members=0xF02Ed0A44a093624a9e2362c261F33aa79e7f4Ea-multisig_2\&proposals=all) is used for binding proposals that affect assets held directly within the onchain DAO treasury smart contracts. • [Snapshot](https://snapshot.xmaquina.io/) 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](https://dao.xmaquina.io/). All material capital movements follow approved DAO proposals, and balances and transactions can be independently verified onchain.
