ADON Governance

ADON is a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization); it has no employees, no management, only community members who got together to advance the project.

Although a significant portion of the work is done by volunteers, a monthly budget of 2,592,000 ADON is allocated to proposals submitted by the community and voted upon by masternode owners (1 masternode = 1 vote).

ADON creates a new block every 60 seconds; each of these blocks create 360 ADON totaly 60 for budgets ,(200 ADON go to a masternode owner, 100 ADONs go to the staker who wrote the block).

Rules of the road:

  • Anyone can submit a proposal to the network (submission costs 50 ADON).
  • It is a good practice to post a pre-proposal on the ADON forum (to obtain feedback from the community) prior to submitting the proposal to the network.
  • To be funded, a proposal has to receive a 'yes' vote from at least 10% of the masternodes.
  • If the total amount of funded proposals is above 2,592,000, proposals with the most 'yes' votes are funded first.

All proposals are visible on the dedicated section of the ADON website: ADON Proposals

Drafting a proposal

  1. Discuss your proposal with the community on Discord to gauge interest from the community/refine your idea
  2. Detail it in a forum post in the pre-proposal section
  3. Gather feedback from the community. Adjust the content of the proposal and budget accordingly.
  4. Create the final proposal in the Budget & Governance Proposals Section

NOTE: Please make sure you follow the guidelines/format documented on the sticky posts in the forum, to make it easy for masternode owners to decide on your proposal.

Creating a proposal using the ADON-cli command line client or the debug console

Once the proposal is ready, you will need to submit it to the network so that masternode owners can vote on it. This is done via the core wallet that will be paying the 50 ADON fee.

NOTE: Please review the status of the current budget cycle on ADON Proposals prior to submitting the proposal. Make sure masternode owners will have enough time to vote on the proposal, and that there is enough budget in the next cycle to accommodate it.

Once you're ready to submit, run the following commands, either using the ADON-cli command line client or the debug console:

  1. Obtain the next superblock (starting block) number:
    getnextsuperblock
  2. Prepare the Proposal
    preparebudget < name of proposal > < Forum link > < number of payments > < starting superblock > < payment address > < Amount per payment >
  3. Record the preparation hash
  4. Submit the proposal to the network
    submitbudget < name of proposal > < Forum link > < number of payments > < starting superblock > < payment address > < amount per payment > < preparation hash >
  5. Record the voting hash; add it to the forum post along with voting options, using the below template:
    Proposal Name: < Proposal Name >
    hash= < voting hash >
    To vote yes:
    “mnbudgetvote many < vote hash > yes”
    To vote no:
    “mnbudgetvote many < vote hash > no”
    To check the status
    "getbudgetinfo < name of proposal >”

NOTE: Post from new forum members (New Pivians) require validation from an Admin before they are visible to others. If that happens to you, post a message on Discord to let the admins know they have a post to validate.
