Cosmos-SDK Governance module Definition

The module enables Cosmos-SDK based blockchain to support an on-chain governance system. In this system, holders of the native staking token of the chain can vote on proposals on a 1 token 1 vote basis. Next is a list of features the module currently supports:

  • Proposal submission: Users can submit proposals with a deposit. Once the minimum deposit is reached, the proposal enters the voting period

  • Vote: Participants can vote on proposals that reached MinDeposit

  • Inheritance and penalties: Delegators inherit their validator's vote if they don't vote themselves.

  • Claiming deposit: Users that deposited on proposals can recover their deposits if the proposal was accepted OR if the proposal never entered the voting period.

For detailed information see the original document.
