Proposal Evolution and the Essence of Voting
At its core, the Horizen DAO democratizes decision-making, from technical nuances to wide-ranging enhancements. Protocol Improvement Proposals (IPs) are central to this, offering a framework for integrating novel features and core modifications.
Specifically, Horizen introduces two distinct types of IPs, ZenIPs, and EONIPs, associated with the Horizen mainchain and EON sidechain, respectively. The linchpin of this decentralized governance is Horizen’s native cryptocurrency, $ZEN.
With the power vested in the $ZEN holders, they become the critical drivers behind Horizen’s evolution. Every $ZEN holder enjoys the right to cast votes on various proposals. Moreover, those possessing or delegated the necessary $ZEN quantum can also introduce new proposals for community consideration. Delegating voting prowess to trusted community members is also facilitated to bolster efficient governance.
For an exhaustive understanding of Horizen DAO, the Horizen Governance page sheds light on improvement proposal sequences, voting methodologies, foundational principles, and more. Don’t hesitate to explore and contribute to Horizen’s promising trajectory. After all, this journey is as much yours as it is ours!
