# Governance

Governance is run by a community of stakeholders incentivized to participate in the organization’s operations by a shared goal, and use NUT as governance token by an additional cryptoeconomic mechanism.

### Governance Process &#x20;

Below is the governance process for the Nucleon DAO. &#x20;

#### Step 1: Forum (Reddit - <https://www.reddit.com/r/NucleonOfficial/>) &#x20;

* All ideas and proposals are originally published on reddit for community feedback. &#x20;
* Improvements and objections are noted and incorporated. &#x20;
* Timeframe: At least 7 days &#x20;

#### Step 2: Pre-Poll (Reddit)

* The Proposal will incorporate feedback from Step 1 and put it to a preliminary vote on Reddit.
* The Nucleon Team can directly introduce a proposal for a preliminary vote.
* Timeframe: At least 7 days &#x20;

#### Step 3: Voting (<https://www.nucleon.space/#/data/nut>) &#x20;

* Voting power is proportional to veNUT. &#x20;
* Timeline: At least 7 days, and voting doesn’t end on weekends&#x20;
* For Support: A proposal must receive more than 50% of YES votes to pass. This also applies to multiple choice options in a proposal. &#x20;
* Quorum: At first there is no requirement. &#x20;

#### Step 4: Enactment &#x20;

* Nucleon team manually implements proposals that have received support. No automation.&#x20;
