Getting started¶
For Users¶
First, choose the blockchain network that you wish to connect to. Then search for the project in the Search bar. Look for the proposal that you are interested in voting for.
Attention
Before voting, please ensure that:
- Your MetaMask wallet is connected to the corresponding network you are voting in. You can get necessary info about the blockchains we support here and follow these instructions to add to your MetaMask wallet
- Your account has the necessary number of ERC20/BEP20 tokens to qualify for the vote as specified by the block height in the snapshot.
Note
If you wish to get tokens for the testnet, please refer to the Getting tokens section for more information
Once you have obtained tokens, you can participate in the vote by clicking on your option of choice. Currently, we are calculating the token balance for each voter based on the block height that each proposal mandates.
The results of vote can be seen after the vote has concluded and finazlied.
For Private Proposals: Only the final winning option will be shown
For Medium Proposals: The number of votes for each option will be shown.
For Public Proposals: The voter information will be transparent to the public.
For Project Owners¶
Project owners can create a workspace for hosting proposals. Project teams or community members can then proceed to create proposals. Currently the metadata is stored on the testnet of Automata Network. Connect to the testnet to create workspaces or propsals.
