DIP-structured proposal example
After posting a proposal
- Stay on top of the comments area of your proposal, hear feedback from other community members and reply to their questions
- Discuss in Discord with other community members regarding your proposal
- If you would like the proposal to be voted on to be implemented, the vote at the bottom of the proposal needs to be passing a certain threshold
If your proposal did not pass the temperature check, you can:
- Modify the proposal based on community feedback, then post a new proposal
- Give up (not recommended)
