# Veto

## What is Veto? <a href="#what-is-veto" id="what-is-veto"></a>

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 <a href="#veto-configuration" id="veto-configuration"></a>

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

### Community Veto Settings <a href="#community-veto-settings" id="community-veto-settings"></a>

* **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 <a href="#council-veto-settings" id="council-veto-settings"></a>

* **Veto Quorum (%)**: The percentage of council members required to veto a proposal
* **Enable/Disable**: Toggle council veto capability on or off

## How Veto Works <a href="#how-veto-works" id="how-veto-works"></a>

### During Voting <a href="#during-voting" id="during-voting"></a>

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 <a href="#veto-outcome" id="veto-outcome"></a>

* **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
