# Community Governance and Decision-making Mechanism

Bitroot adopts the governance model of a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) to ensure that community members can participate in decision-making in a fair and just manner.

\
Bitroot DAO adopts a combination of on-chain voting and offline coordination to ensure transparent, efficient and executable governance.

\
**(1) Proposal Mechanism**\
Any BRT token holder can initiate a proposal, including but not limited to:

\
Technology upgrade (such as optimizing the parallel public chain architecture)

\
Fund use (such as ecological fund allocation)

\
Protocol parameter adjustment (such as gas fee structure adjustment)

\
Community development (such as incentive plans, marketing promotion, etc.)

**Proposal process**

Proposal submission: Community members submit proposals in the governance forum or Snapshot (on-chain governance platform), explaining the background, goals, implementation methods, etc.

Formal voting: After meeting basic conditions (such as BRT staked amount), the proposal enters the on-chain voting.

Result execution: Approved proposals are executed by the foundation or development team, and key decisions are automatically executed by smart contracts.

**(2) Voting mechanism**

Bitroot adopts voting governance based on BRT tokens, that is, users holding BRT obtain voting rights according to their holdings.

Ordinary proposals: simple majority approval (>50%)

Key proposals (such as protocol upgrades, funding allocations): majority approval (>60%)\
Emergency proposals (such as security vulnerability repairs): core contributors + foundations make quick decisions, and then submit them to DAO for confirmation.

**Voting method:**

On-chain voting (Snapshot): No gas fee is required, and off-chain discussion and on-chain execution are supported.

\
Staking voting: Long-term staking of BRT can obtain greater voting rights, encouraging long-term governance participation.
