How to Vote on a Proposal

Voting allows you to evaluate proposals and help decide how SYSKY incentives are distributed.

Step 1: Navigate to Voting Page

Go to:

Dashboard → Vote on Proposal

This is where you can submit your vote.

Step 2: What You Need Before Voting

To vote, you must have:

  • A Proposal ID (the proposal you want to vote on)
  • A Conviction ID (your locked stake used for voting)
  • An active conviction (not expired)
  • The proposal must still be within its active voting period

You cannot vote once the voting window has closed.

Step 3: Submit Your Vote

When voting, you will:

  1. Enter the Proposal ID
  2. Select your Conviction ID
  3. Choose a score between 0–10
  4. Submit your vote

Your voting power depends on your conviction level (lock duration).

Step 4: Voting Rules

  • You can vote only once per proposal using a conviction.
  • You cannot use the same conviction to vote twice on the same proposal.
  • Higher conviction = stronger voting weight.

Step 5: Vote Fairly and Responsibly

Always evaluate proposals carefully before voting.

Consider whether:

  • The work is genuine and clearly documented
  • The contribution benefits the ecosystem
  • The effort matches the requested incentives
  • Evidence and progress are verifiable

Step 6: Types of Contributions to Evaluate

Proposals may fall into different categories, such as:

  • Journalism — reporting, awareness, public communication
  • Research & Academia — studies, analysis, technical papers
  • Civic Issues — governance, public engagement, community work
  • Education — tutorials, guides, knowledge sharing
  • Open Source — code contributions, tools, infrastructure

Each category may require different evaluation standards.

Remember that if the conviction-weighted mean score is between 5 and 10, the proposal will receive incentives.

Important Tips

  • Vote honestly and based on quality.
  • Avoid bias or personal influence.
  • Responsible voting strengthens the ecosystem.
