# Governance

Governance lets your Guild steer its own economy. By staking LP tokens you earn Voting Power (VP), create proposals, and execute on-chain actions—no multisig, no middlemen.

### How voting works?

| Step                          | Result                                             |
| ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Add liquidity (Guild / $TEVA) | Receive LP tokens                                  |
| Stake LP                      | LP × multiplier → VP                               |
| Delegate (optional)           | Assign VP to another address without moving tokens |

> Why LP, not just tokens? Liquidity providers keep markets deep; staking LP aligns influence with those supporting price stability.

### **Default Governance Parameters**

| Parameter          | Default            | Notes                        |
| ------------------ | ------------------ | ---------------------------- |
| Proposal Threshold | 10 000 VP          | Minimum VP to submit         |
| Quorum             | ≥ 51 % of total VP | Calculated at proposal start |
| Voting Period      | 3 days             | Time window to vote          |
| Execution Timelock | 24 h               | Cool-off before actions run  |

All parameters—including quorum %—can be changed by governance itself.
