How do Cardano treasury withdrawals work?

Treasury withdrawals fund ecosystem development using ADA collected from transaction fees and monetary expansion. Proposals requesting treasury funds must be approved by DReps, SPOs, and the Constitutional Committee, each with specific voting thresholds.

What types of proposals can I vote on?

You can vote on protocol parameter changes, treasury withdrawals, hard fork initiations, and constitutional amendments. Each proposal type has different voting thresholds and approval processes.

How do I become a DRep?

Any ADA holder can register as a DRep by submitting a registration certificate on-chain. You'll need to provide information about your values, voting strategy, and background to attract delegators. GeroWallet supports DRep registration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cardano governance?

Cardano governance (CIP-1694) is a decentralized system that allows ADA holders to vote on proposals affecting the Cardano protocol, treasury spending, and constitutional changes. It puts decision-making power directly in the hands of the community.

Do I need to register to vote?

Yes, a one-time registration is required to participate in governance. This registration associates your wallet with voting rights. After registering, you can vote on all future proposals.

How much voting power do I have?

Your voting power is proportional to the amount of ADA you hold in your wallet. 1 ADA = 1 vote. Staked ADA also counts toward your voting power, so you can earn staking rewards while participating in governance.

What is a DRep?

A Delegated Representative (DRep) is a community member who votes on behalf of those who delegate to them. If you prefer not to vote on every proposal yourself, you can delegate your voting power to a trusted DRep who shares your values.

Can I participate in governance through GeroWallet?

Yes! GeroWallet provides full governance support. You can register to vote, browse proposals, cast votes, delegate to DReps, and track results - all directly within the wallet interface. No external tools needed.
