About the Minor Impact Proposals category

Scope: Low-impact, routine, or housekeeping decisions that do not materially affect the protocol’s security, contract architecture, or strategic direction. Examples include: small bug bounty payments (e.g. $1,000), minor operational expenditures, cosmetic parameter updates, non-controversial administrative actions, answering to a short term RFP, etc.

Parameter Value
Forum debate period 24 hours
Voting period 24 hours
Debate and vote Concurrent (debate and vote run in parallel)
Quorum 30% of total vlSDT supply
Approval threshold Simple majority (>50% of votes cast, excl. abstentions)
Anticipated execution If super-quorum is reached

Process:

  1. Proposal posted simultaneously on the governance forum and Snapshot.
  2. The forum post must clearly indicate why the proposal qualifies as minor impact.
  3. Debate and voting run concurrently for 24 hours.
  4. The elevated quorum (30%) compensates for the shortened timeline, ensuring that even fast-tracked minor decisions have sufficient community awareness.
  5. If quorum is reached and the proposal achieves a simple majority, the DAO Multisig may execute.

Scope limitation: If a community member challenges the classification of a proposal as “minor impact” during the debate period, and the challenge is supported by substantive arguments, the proposer should consider withdrawing and resubmitting under Category A (SDGP).

Materiality Threshold:

A proposal shall not qualify as “Minor Impact” if it:

  • Affects smart contract logic;

  • Impacts user funds or risk parameters;

  • Introduces new integrations or counterparties;

  • Exceeds a threshold of $20,000.

In case of doubt, the proposal must default to Category A.
