Phase 1: Proposal Temperature Check — Discourse
This document serves as the Temperature Check. Community members are encouraged to provide feedback and suggest improvements. The Temperature Check will remain open for a minimum of 5 days.
Phase 2: Snapshot Vote
If the Temperature Check shows sufficient support, the proposal will move to a Snapshot vote. To pass:
- Over 50% must vote “Yes”
