# Proposals

Proposals are the **foundation of DAO governance**, enabling community members to suggest changes, allocate resources, and make collective decisions. This guide covers everything you need to know about **creating**, **managing**, and **voting** on proposals.

## Creating a Proposal <a href="#creating-a-proposal" id="creating-a-proposal"></a>

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Access Proposal Creation

Navigate through the DAO page and click **Create Proposal**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Configure Proposal Details <a href="#step-3---configure-proposal-details" id="step-3---configure-proposal-details"></a>

Fill in the proposal information:

* **Title**: Clear, descriptive proposal name
* **Description**: Detailed explanation of the proposal

#### Choose Proposal Type <a href="#step-2---choose-proposal-type" id="step-2---choose-proposal-type"></a>

Select the appropriate proposal type based on your intended action:

* **Executable:** Executable proposals are proposals that contain on-chain instructions, which can be executed once the proposal reaches quorum and further more a finalized state.
* **Non-Executable:** These proposals are mostly used for signal voting/ multi-choice sentiment within the DAO.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Add [Instructions](/realms-v2/features/instructions.md) (Executable) <a href="#step-4---add-instructions-executable" id="step-4---add-instructions-executable"></a>

For executable proposals, you can select instructions from the current list such as:

* **Treasury Transfers**: Specify recipient addresses and amounts
* **Configuration Changes**: Define new parameter values
* **DeFi Actions**: Staking, swaps & lending

Select the appropriate proposal type based on your intended action:

* **Community Vote:** Community Token holders will be able to vote.
* **Council Vote:** Vote is restricted only to Council token holders.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Add Multi-Choice Options (Non-Executable)

For non-executable proposals, you can select what type of multi-choice should the proposal be:

* **Single Selection**
* **Multiple Selection**

{% hint style="warning" %}
Non-executable proposals are limited to a maximum of 10 entries.
{% endhint %}

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/9ezevFQ6R8nD24lHOcuE" alt=""><figcaption><p>Non-executable: Multi-Choice Options</p></figcaption></figure></div>
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Proposals are the primary mechanism for DAO evolution and decision-making. Active participation in the proposal process is essential for effective governance.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Always verify proposal instructions carefully, especially for treasury transfers. Approved proposals with incorrect instructions cannot be reversed.
{% endhint %}
