Submit a Governance Proposal

Submit a community pool spend proposal

Overview

As a member of the Kujira community, you have the opportunity to submit proposals for consideration by the network. One type of proposal is a community pool spend proposal, which involves requesting funds from the community pool for a specific purpose.

To submit a community pool spend proposal, you will need to provide a JSON file with the proposal details and an initial deposit. Here is an example of the command to use:

Example:

$ kujirad tx gov submit-proposal <path/to/proposal.json> --from=<key_or_address>

Where proposal.json contains the following information:

{
 "messages": [
  {
   "@type": "/cosmos.distribution.v1beta1.MsgCommunityPoolSpend",
   "authority": "kujira10d07y265gmmuvt4z0w9aw880jnsr700jt23ame",
   "recipient": "kujira<address_of_receipient>",
   "amount": [{"denom": "ukuji", "amount": "<amount_without_decimals>"}]
  }
 ],
 "metadata": "ipfs://<HAHSH>",
 "deposit": "100000000factory/kujira1qk00h5atutpsv900x202pxx42npjr9thg58dnqpa72f2p7m2luase444a7/uusk",

}

kujirad tx gov submit-proposal [proposal-file] [flags]

Options

There are several options and flags that can be used with this command, including --account-number, --broadcast-mode, --dry-run, --fee-account, --fees, --from, --gas, --gas-adjustment, --gas-prices, --generate-only, --keyring-backend, --keyring-dir, --ledger, --node, --note, --offline, --output, --sequence, --sign-mode, --timeout-height, and --yes.

  -a, --account-number uint      The account number of the signing account (offline mode only)
  -b, --broadcast-mode string    Transaction broadcasting mode (sync|async|block) (default "sync")
      --dry-run                  ignore the --gas flag and perform a simulation of a transaction, but don't broadcast it
      --fee-account string       Fee account pays fees for the transaction instead of deducting from the signer
      --fees string              Fees to pay along with transaction; eg: 10uatom

      --gas-prices string        Gas prices in decimal format to determine the transaction fee (e.g. 0.1uatom)
      --generate-only            Build an unsigned transaction and write it to STDOUT (when enabled, the local Keybase is not accessible)
  -h, --help                     help for community-pool-spend

  -o, --output string            Output format (text|json) (default "json")
  -s, --sequence uint            The sequence number of the signing account (offline mode only)
      --sign-mode string         Choose sign mode (direct|amino-json), this is an advanced feature
      --timeout-height uint      Set a block timeout height to prevent the tx from being committed past a certain height
  -y, --yes                      Skip tx broadcasting prompt confirmation

Proposal Submission Process

It is best to use the Kujira Discord forum to discuss governance related proposals and matters in advance. This helps crowd-fund proposals, get the wider community engaged in voting, receive valuable community feedback, and gauge community sentiment ahead of proposal submission.

To submit a proposal (which you can do here) you need an initial deposit of 100 USK. After that there is a 24-hour window during which a threshold of 500 USK must be reached from the proposer's wallet or any other community members' wallets in order for the proposal to be deposited on-chain and the 48 hour voting period to begin. Any deposited USK will be returned to the original wallets after reaching the threshold. If the threshold is not met during the deposit period, the deposited tokens will be burned.

Users can support proposals they believe in by depositing the required amount through the UI on https://blue.kujira.app/govern. Simply navigate to the proposal & use the deposit feature to contribute.
