What this diagram shows
- Ideas are discussed before costing gas on-chain
- Votes are weighted by governance tokens
- Passed proposals wait in a timelock before running
Prompt used
DAO governance flowchart: an idea is posted on the forum for discussion, then a temperature check off-chain (Snapshot). If supported, a member with enough tokens creates an on-chain proposal. Token holders vote for 7 days. If quorum is reached and yes votes win, the proposal is queued in a 2-day timelock and then executed by the governor contract; otherwise it is defeated.
