They can be submitted by anyone meeting the required $ENS thresholds and are voted on by delegates based on their token holdings. If a proposal reaches quorum and passes, it is ratified and implemented. For detailed governance information, refer to the Governance Documentation. Proposal Thresholds:10k ENS: Required for a social proposal — an agreement of the DAO on matters that cannot be enforced onchain.100k ENS: Required for an executable proposal — involves smart contract operations executed by DAO-controlled accounts.Proposal BulletinThe Proposal Bulletin summarizes Term 6 proposals—both onchain (executable) and offchain (social)—from January 2025 to December 2025. It covers key actions like ETH-to-USDC conversions, endowment expansions, service provider funding, and governance process improvements.
