LXDAO Governance Process SOP
The LXDAO governance framework has matured, but there are oversights in execution details, leading to unnecessary inefficiencies. This SOP reorganizes key process nodes and stakeholders to provide clear guidance for community builders participating in governance.
Stakeholders:
- LXDAO Governance Group Members
- LXDAO Community Members
- LXDAO Builder Card Holders
Four Key Processes:
1. New Member Onboarding Process
Stakeholders:
- LXDAO Community Members
- LXDAO Governance Group Members
Objective: Help new members obtain a Builder Card.
Steps:
- Self-Introduction: Attend a community event, introduce yourself, and learn about LXDAO’s activities.
- Contribution: Join working or project group meetings, contribute to a team of interest, or complete Bounty tasks.
- Accumulate Contribution Points: Earn ≥500 points (via LXP or stablecoins). A Governance Group Member will then contact the builder to confirm their intent to obtain a Builder Card. If approved, the Builder Card is issued and announced on the forum.
- Governance Rights: Upon receiving the Builder Card, the builder gains governance rights, including proposing initiatives, accessing community resources and treasury, and shaping LXDAO’s future.
2. Governance Rights Claim Process
Stakeholders:
- LXDAO Builder Card Holders
- LXDAO Governance Group Members
Background: LIP65 decoupled Builder Cards and governance rights. Claim cycles were originally per session (burdensome) but are now extended to 1 year.
Process:
- Annual Notification: On December 1st each year, Governance Group Members notify all Builder Card holders to claim governance rights.
- One-Month Claim Window: New proposals during this period use voting rights from the previous cycle.
- Monitoring: Governance Group Members track claim rates and publicly address issues (e.g., low participation).
Reference: LIP65
3. Proposal Process
Stakeholders:
- LXDAO Builder Card Holders (with claimed governance rights)
- LXDAO Governance Group Members
Eligibility: Only builders with a claimed governance right can submit Snapshot proposals. Follow LIP0.
Steps:
- Idea: Develop a project, governance, or general idea.
- Draft: Post the idea on the forum for discussion and refine it into an actionable proposal.
- Forum Proposal: Formalize the draft using the proposal template. Optional forum voting may test its feasibility.
- Snapshot Proposal: Submit the proposal to Snapshot. Governance Group Members assist if needed. Non-eligible builders may delegate proposal submission to eligible holders.
4. Voting Process
Stakeholders:
- LXDAO Builder Card Holders (with claimed governance rights)
- LXDAO Governance Group Members
Voting Cycle:
- Weekly Governance Cycle: 7 days (Monday–Sunday).
- Proposal Submission: Monday–Wednesday.
- Voting Period: Wednesday–Sunday (5 days).
- Time-Lock Execution: Thursday of the following week.
Approval Thresholds:
- Base Threshold: Total governance rights claimed in the current quarter.
- Standard Proposals: ≥20% absolute assent votes.
- Consensus Proposals (e.g., treasury use): ≥70% absolute assent votes.
- Dissenting Votes: Weight = 2 assent votes.
Process:
- Submission: Proposals must be submitted during the submission window. Governance Group Members provide support.
- Voting: Governance Group Members encourage voting. For consensus proposals, all eligible voters must be notified.
- Results: Governance Group Members tally votes on Monday and announce outcomes.

LXDAO 治理流程已经趋于成熟，但是在执行细节上有所疏漏，导致治理过程耗费了不必要的精力，在这个 SOP 中，重新整理流程的关键节点和相关参与人员，为社区参与治理的 Builder 提供相关指引。
治理流程参与人员：
- LXDAO 治理组 Member
- LXDAO 社区成员
- LXDAO Builder Card 持有者
总共涉及以下四个流程：
1. 新人 Onboarding 流程
参与人员：
- LXDAO 社区成员
- LXDAO 治理组 Member
Onboarding 是帮助社区新人获取 Builder Card 的流程，具体为：
- 自我介绍： 参加一次社区活动并进行自我介绍，了解 LXDAO 社区的动态。
- 社区贡献： 参与工作组或项目组的例会，选择您感兴趣的小组参与并贡献，或者接受 Bounty 任务。
- 积累贡献值： 累积贡献值至一定数量（当前贡献值要求为 500），贡献值包括 LXP 和稳定币，然后治理组 Member 会联系 Builder，是否有获取 Builder Card 的意愿，如果有，则帮助 Builder 获取 Builder Card，然后在社区论坛公示。
- 获得治理权： 一旦获得 Builder Card，就可以获得 LXDAO 的治理权，将可以通过提案的方式拥有对 LXDAO 社区资源和国库的调用权等，决策和治理 LXDAO 的未来。
2. 治理权 Claim 流程
参与人员：
- LXDAO Builder Card 持有者
- LXDAO 治理组 Member
在 LIP65 中，分离了 Builder Card 和治理权，Builder Card 持有者可以按照自己的意愿随时获取治理权，获取治理权只需要去 LXDAO 个人 profile 主页 Claim 治理权 NFT，但 LIP65 中是每个 Session 中都 Claim 一次治理权，这带来了很大的治理负担，所以将 Claim 治理权的 claim 周期延长为 1 年：
优化后，治理权 Cliam 流程为：
- 每年 12 月 1 日，治理组 Member 向所有 Builder Card 发送治理权 Claim 的通知，确保消息触达每一个 Builder Card 持有者。
- Claim 周期为一个月，在 Claim 周期中产生的新提案使用上一个周期的 Claim 的投票权。
- 治理组 Member 需要关注治理权 Claim 的人数，如果 Claim 的人数过少或者遇到其他问题，需要及时向社区公开。
3. 提案流程
参与人员：
- LXDAO Builder Card 持有者
- LXDAO 治理组 Member
只有获取了 LXDAO Builder Card 并 Claim 治理权的人才能在 snapshot 上发布提案。提案流程按照 LIP0 提案（[https://snapshot.box/#/s:lxdao.eth/proposal/0x19d65f7512a6dab12de559dea122012850129a0cca2d359bdd7592cb4e45cfc4）执行，具体流程为：
- Idea: Builder 产生项目、治理或者任何的 Idea
- Draft: 在论坛发布 Idea，并引导社区成员参与讨论，形成具体可执行的提案。
- 论坛提案：Builder 将 Draft 修改成为论坛提案，必要时可以在论坛发起投票，进行提案的通过率测试，提案格式可以参考：https://forum.lxdao.io/t/lxdao-proposal-templates/620。
- **Snapshot 提案：**已经 Claim 治理权 Builder 在 snapshot 上发布提案，进入投票流程，在这个过程中，治理组 Member 需要提供相关支持，如果社区成员或者没有 Claim 治理权的 Builder Card 持有者想发布提案，可以委托已经有治理权的 Builder 来发布提案。
4. 投票流程
参与人员：
- 已经 Claim 治理权的 LXDAO Builder Card 持有者
- LXDAO 治理组 Member
投票周期说明：
- 每周治理周期: 7 天，从周一开始至周天
- 提案提交周期：周一至周三
- 提案投票周期：周三至周天，确保五天的提案审核周期
- 提案时间锁周期：下周一至周三 执行时间：下周四![image.png]
提案通过率说明：
- 计票采取动态阈值的方式，阈值计算基数=当季申请治理权的总数
- 普通级提案绝对赞成票数 ≥ 20% 即为通过
- 共识级提案绝对赞成票数 ≥ 70% 即为通过
- 反对票的权重 = 2 票赞成票
提案上 Snapshot 之后，投票流程按照 LIP0 和 LIP 65来执行，具体流程如下：
- 提案的提交 Builder 需要在提案提交周期中完成提案的提交，治理组 Member 可以提供必要支持
- 有治理权的 Builder 需要在提案投票周期中完成提案的投票，在这期间，治理组 Memebr 需要引导有治理权的 Builder 来投票，如果是共识级提案，必要情况下需要通知到每一个有治理权的 Builder
- 治理组 Member 在周一统计票数，将提案结果向社区公示
