# AshDAO Proposal Guide

### 1. Create a proposal

There are certain criteria that need to be met for a user to create a proposal.

* The user must have a minimum of 50,000 veASH at the time of proposal creation.
* The user should have yet to create any proposals within the last seven days.

For a proposal to be listed on AshDAO, its owner must first initiate a discussion on the [**AshSwap forum**](https://github.com/ashswap/ash-proposals/issues/new/choose). The proposal’s URL should start with: <https://github.com/ashswap/ash-proposals/issues/new/choose>

Visit the Proposal Voting page and click Create Proposal

### Proposal’s Life Circle on Mainnet

* Pending: Until the next Thursday
* Active: 7 days
* Approved: 14 days before expired

**Notice:** a voting epoch happens from 0:00 UTC Thursday to 0:00 UTC next Thursday (7 days)

### Proposal’s Life Circle on Devnet

* Pending:  Until the next 30 mins or 60 mins
* Active: 24h&#x20;
* Approved: maximum 90 mins before expired

### Proposal’s “Passed” Status Requirements

A proposal will need to meet 2 criteria to be counted as “passed”:

* Support (50% required): the support vote needs to be higher than 50 % of the total vote
* Quorum: (>30% required): a proposal needs to have at least 30% voting power joining the vote compared to the total voting power.

Those criteria will change depending on each type of proposal

> Please notice that your Voting Power gradually decreases from the middle of a voting epoch (12 pm Sunday) as the proposal voting time approaches its end.
>
> `your Voting Power = min(veASH, 2`*`veASH`*`(endTime - now)/voteTime)`
