Voting System

How governance voting works in Spray and Play

Voting System

The Spray and Play DAO will use a token-weighted voting system where SPRAY holders directly influence protocol decisions.

Coming Soon — Voting features are under development. Specifications may change before launch.

How Voting Will Work

Voting Power

Your influence is determined by your SPRAY token balance:

FactorImpact
Token Balance1 SPRAY = 1 vote
Snapshot BlockBalance recorded at proposal start
DelegationCan delegate voting power to others
Lock MultiplierLocked tokens may receive boost (TBD)

Vote Options

Every proposal will have three options:

  • FOR — Support the proposal
  • AGAINST — Reject the proposal
  • ABSTAIN — Participate without taking a side (counts toward quorum)

The Voting Process

Step 1: Discussion (Off-Chain)

Before submitting a formal proposal:

1. Post in Governance Forum with detailed description

2. Gather community feedback for 3-7 days

3. Refine proposal based on input

4. Conduct Snapshot temperature check (optional)

Step 2: Formal Submission

Proposal Structure:
├── Title (clear, under 100 characters)
├── Summary (what it does)
├── Motivation (why it's needed)
├── Specification (technical details)
├── Timeline (when it takes effect)
└── Code Changes (if applicable)

Step 3: Voting Period

  • Proposal goes live on-chain
  • Voting power calculated from snapshot block
  • Votes can be changed until period ends
  • Real-time results visible to all

Step 4: Execution

  • If passed: Automatic execution after timelock
  • If failed: Proposal deposit returned (minus gas)
  • If quorum not met: Can be resubmitted later

Delegation

Don't have time to research every proposal? Delegate your voting power:

How It Works

  • Choose a Delegate — Pick a trusted community member
  • Retain Ownership — Tokens never leave your wallet
  • Revoke Anytime — Undelegate instantly if needed
  • Partial Delegation — Delegate percentage of power

Finding Delegates

Active delegates will be listed in the governance portal with:

  • Voting history and participation rate
  • Philosophy/values statement
  • Areas of expertise
  • Contact information
