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
Your voting power depends on the number of wrapped FLR (WFLR) you hold (1 WFLR = 1 vote). Use WFLR to support Flare’s growth and success.
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.
