Configuring your Governor

Core logic is determined by the Governor contract. When deploying a Governor, you need to chose:

  1. How voting power is determined

  2. How many votes are needed for quorum

  3. What options people have when casting a vote and how those votes are counted

  4. What type of token should be used to vote

You can write your own module or choose one from .

These parameters must be set for the Governor contract:

  • votingDelay: how long after a proposal is created that voting power is fixed (a larger delay gives users time to unstake tokens)

  • votingPeriod: how long a proposal remains open to vote

A proposal threshold can also be set, which restricts proposal creation to accounts with enough voting power.

The latest published release of the OpenZeppelin Contracts library can be downloaded by running:

$ npm install @openzeppelin/contracts
