Deploy a governor

How to deploy a Governor contract to use with Tally

You can use Tally's open-source Governor deployer to get started.

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 OpenZeppelin contracts.

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

The OpenZeppelin Contracts documentation includes guides and a detailed API reference for learning about developing secure smart contract systems.

You may also find the OpenZeppelin wizard useful for configuring a smart contract.
