Proposals with structure
A proposal identifies a change and the policy under which it will be considered. Deposits and eligibility rules can limit frivolous or unauthorized submissions.
A record of collective decisions
Make the proposal. Record the decision.
Sigil records governance proposals and stake-weighted votes, with policy-defined eligibility, timing, and thresholds.

Defined scope / checked / bounded
A permission is a condition, not a blank cheque.
Governance
01 / Built for a purpose
A protocol needs a way to change.
Governance makes proposed changes and participating votes visible in a shared record. Sigil separates that decision process from the specific release and activation work needed to make a change effective.
Stake-weighted participation
Votes are counted under the configured governance rules. Duplicate-vote checks preserve a coherent record of who participated.
Timing that is visible
Voting windows, quorum, and approval thresholds belong to the network’s governance policy. Applications can show the relevant conditions alongside the proposal.
Durable decisions
Proposal and voting records persist across node restarts. Explorers and governance interfaces can read a common history rather than reconstructing decisions from chat.
The details matterGood questions.

Does a passed vote immediately change every node?+
Do not assume so. A proposal needs a supported execution and activation path. The current direct execute, cancel, and emergency transaction paths remain gated.
Who can participate?+
Eligibility and voting weight depend on the active network policy and the participant’s stake. Consult the selected network’s governance parameters before submitting.
