Governance is conducted through **Commonwealth**, a platform where discussions, proposals, and on-chain votes are coordinated in one place.\ All governance activity is transparent and fully recorded on-chain. ### Who Can Vote Anyone holding sGOO, the staked version of GOO, can participate in governance.\ Voting power is proportional to your sGOO balance at the time of the proposal snapshot. ### What Can You Vote On sGOO holders can vote on a wide range of proposals, including: * Treasury composition and asset diversification * Yield strategy allocation * Emission rates, staking rewards, and distribution rules * Bonding terms including discount rates, vesting periods, and caps * Parameters for Convertible Debt Loans * New integrations, deployments, or protocol upgrades ### Governance Platform GooMoney uses **Commonwealth** as its governance hub.\ This platform supports both proposal discussions and on-chain execution through a user-friendly interface. #### On Commonwealth, you can: * Read and discuss active or proposed changes * Submit your own proposals if you meet the requirements * Vote with your sGOO on proposals during the voting window ### Why Governance Matters Governance ensures that GooMoney remains decentralized, transparent, and aligned with the interests of long term participants.\ Stakers play a critical role in defining the protocol’s evolution. From treasury strategy to emissions policy, influence belongs to those who commit capital and time. **As GooMoney grows, so does the responsibility and power of its community.** --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://goomoney.gitbook.io/goo.money/protocol/governance.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
