  • Select the proposal you wish to engage with
  • Make sure to read the proposal and understand what it's about and consider its impact; there should have been a discussion thread if you need a refresher on the wider context.
  • Once you've read the proposal and are at the bottom of the text, you should see four options:
    • Yes (the proposal is agreeable)
    • No (the proposal is disagreeable)
    • Abstain (engaged with the proposal but no opinion)
    • No with veto (the proposal is disagreeable and the poster shoul loose some tokens)
