Why vote
Influence key decisions that will impact Flare’s development, security, and utility by participating in Flare governance votes.
Let your voice be heard
After reading a governance proposal, vote for changes you believe will benefit Flare the most. For example, to pass a Flare Improvement Proposal (FIP), it requires more than 50% of the votes, subject to any additional governance rules.
Put your vote power to work
Use WFLR or staked FLR to support Flare’s growth and success. Your voting power is based on the balance held at the vote-count snapshot block
Support useful testing
Flare Foundation may suggest Songbird Testing Proposals (STPs) before suggesting a FIP. STPs voting is rejection-based (won’t be stopped unless more than 50% vote against it) to get testing started as quickly as possible.
Support decentralization
Voting helps to decentralize Flare and protect the network against malicious actors. The more participants, the stronger and more secure the network becomes.
How to vote
To vote, connect your wallet on the Flare Portal. Follow these simple steps to get started.
Step 1
To vote on governance proposals, you first need wrapped FLR (WFLR) or staked FLR. To wrap FLR, first visit the Flare Portal and connect your wallet.
Step 2
Click "Account" tab to locate your FLR balance.
Step 3
Click "Wrap" then sign the transaction.
Step 4
Go to the "Governance Proposals" tab. You should see a "List of proposals".
Step 5
Select a proposal set as "Active" which indicates that voting is still open.
Step 6
Vote. Note: the number of votes = the number of WFLR or sFLR you held during a random snapshot taken a few days before a proposal is created.
