# Proposals

## Creating a New Proposal

Anyone can create a governance proposal, which will begin with a deposit period. Once the minimum deposit amount is reached, it will enter the voting period. Anyone can make deposits for the proposal during the deposit period.

### Submitting a Proposal

To submit a new proposal, you can send a transaction that includes the proposal details and specifies the deposit amount. This deposit amount does not need to be greater than the minimum deposit (the minimum amount required to enter the voting phase), but the proposal will remain in the deposit period until the total deposit amount is met.

The transaction to submit a proposal must include a non-zero positive deposit amount.

Example:

```bash
enid tx gov submit-proposal param-change proposal.json --from $PROPOSER_KEY
```

Please note that we allow for expedited proposals through the `--is-expedited` flag. This will halve the proposal time but requires double the deposit amount.

### Querying a Proposal

You can also view the details and status (deposit period, voting period, etc.) of an existing proposal by querying a specific proposal ID.

Example:

```bash
enid query gov proposal $PROPOSAL_ID
```

You can also query the proposer of a specified proposal to see the address that initially submitted it.

Example:

```bash
enid query gov proposer $PROPOSAL_ID
```

### Depositing for a Proposal

If the created proposal is in the deposit period, you can increase the deposit to encourage the proposal to move into the voting period. The deposit amount is represented in deposit amount and deposit tokens, for example, 10000ENI.

If the proposal does not reach the minimum deposit before the end of the deposit period, all deposits will be burned.

Example:

```bash
enid tx gov deposit $PROPOSAL_ID $DEPOSIT_AMOUNT --from $YOUR_KEY
```

### Querying Deposits

Users can query a specific address's deposit on a specific proposal. This can be used to check your current deposit amount or see another account's deposit amount.

Example:

```bash
enid query gov deposit $PROPOSAL_ID $DEPOSITOR_ADDR
```

You can also use a separate query command to check all deposits for a proposal.

Example:

```bash
enid query gov deposits $PROPOSAL_ID
```

### Voting on a Proposal

This allows an address to vote on a specified proposal. There are four options when voting:

* Yes
* No
* Abstain
* No with veto

Example:

```bash
enid tx gov vote $PROPOSAL_ID $VOTE_OPTION --from $VOTER_KEY --chain-id $CHAIN_ID
```

### Weighted Voting

Weighted voting transactions allow voters to distribute voting power among various voting options. This is particularly useful for representing multiple stakeholders in different voting decisions.

When executing a weighted vote, the transaction is performed with voting weights instead of a single option. Voting weights are represented as a comma-separated string mapping voting options to their weights. The voting weights must sum up to 1 for the transaction to be valid.

#### Defining Weights

```bash
voting_weights=yes=0.3,no=0.2,no_with_veto=0.15,abstain=0.35
```

#### Example

```bash
enid tx gov weighted-vote $PROPOSAL_ID $VOTING_WEIGHTS --from $VOTER_KEY --chain-id $CHAIN_ID
```

### Querying Proposal Details

This will return information for a single proposal specified by `proposal_id`.

Example:

```bash
enid query gov proposal $PROPOSAL_ID --chain-id $CHAIN_ID
```

### Querying Proposal Tally

This will return the current vote count for the provided `proposal_id`.

```bash
enid query gov tally $PROPOSAL_ID --chain-id $CHAIN_ID
```

### Querying Individual Votes

This will query the voting information for a specific voting address and proposal ID.

Example:

```bash
enid query gov vote $PROPOSAL_ID $VOTER_ADDR --chain-id $CHAIN_ID
```
