Veto

Veto allows DAOs to configure a secondary rejection mechanism where proposals can be blocked if a sufficient number of members vote against them, even if the approval threshold was met.

What is Veto?

Veto is a governance safeguard that enables:

  • Community Veto: Community token holders can block proposals

  • Council Veto: Council members can block proposals

  • Quorum-based Rejection: Proposals are vetoed when rejection votes meet the configured quorum

This provides an additional layer of protection against proposals that may have passed the approval threshold but face strong opposition.

Veto Configuration

DAOs can configure veto settings separately for both community and council governance.

Community Veto Settings

  • Veto Quorum (%): The percentage of community voting power required to veto a proposal

  • Enable/Disable: Toggle community veto capability on or off

Council Veto Settings

  • Veto Quorum (%): The percentage of council members required to veto a proposal

  • Enable/Disable: Toggle council veto capability on or off

Configure Veto Parameters

Set the veto quorum for community and/or council:

  • Community Veto Quorum: Percentage of community tokens needed to veto

  • Council Veto Quorum: Percentage of council votes needed to veto

How Veto Works

During Voting

  1. Members vote Yes, No, or Veto (If enabled) on a proposal

  2. Veto votes count toward the veto quorum

  3. If veto quorum is reached, the proposal is blocked regardless of approval votes

Veto Outcome

  • Vetoed: Proposal blocked when rejection votes meet veto quorum

  • Passed: Proposal approved if it meets approval threshold without triggering veto

  • Failed: Proposal fails to meet approval threshold
