# Governance (TBA)

## Empowering Dedicated Contributors

To ensure that signaling power is allocated to individuals truly dedicated to our project, we've integrated the system in a way that only Four Token holders can participate in governance. By signaling users express their long-term commitment and become eligible to influence project directions.

## Voting on Snapshot

{% hint style="warning" %}
Voting on SnapShot is not yet available!
{% endhint %}

Snapshot is a decentralized voting signalling system that allows ERC-20 Four Token holders to signal their preferences on 4P Project proposals but will at this stage not replace the governance structure. Voting on Snapshot is user-friendly and does not cost gas as the process is performed off-chain. 4P is using Snapshot to allow users to signal their preferences on the project proposals.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Snapshot votes are NOT binding, they allow Four Token holders to signal their preferences on 4P proposals.
{% endhint %}

4P uses the Snapshot platform to take a “snapshot” at a certain block. This snapshot dictates the voting power of each wallet, where 1 $FOUR = 1 vote. The platform weights votes by the amount of a given token a participating wallet address holds. Once a proposal reaches public referenda, token holders can vote on it using their own Four Tokens.

#### Voting Eligibility

“minBalance” of 4k ERC-20 Four Tokens are needed to contribute a vote Each voter may select a single choice to give his total voting power to

#### Strategie(s)

We use various voting strategies, for example, a “balance-of-with-min” strategy is used to check whether the participant has a minimum amount of tokens required to vote. “minBalance” of 4k ERC-20 $FOUR has been set, which equals the minimum balance required to vote on a proposal.

> Voting system: Single-choice voting, multichoice voting \
> Voting types: Signal check, grant proposal, implementation proposal, and other \
> Voting time frame: Start and end date specified
