Governance
Curate Governance is about giving power and diffraction to our community. Our Community Governance Reserve holds 10,000,000 XCUR tokens which will be used to fund successful proposals.
*Please note, a maximum of 3 proposals will be selected by the Curate team for the upcoming quarter.
Voting Options
Each proposal will contain 2 or more options for the community to vote on.
Options could include:
- Yes
- No
- Abstain, or
- A more specific option to vote on such as ‘Marketing Campaign’ or ‘Exchange Listing’
Please note: If a user chooses to Abstain vote, this will signify a protest of the proposal. If Abstain receives 60% of the votes, Curate will retract the proposal and discuss it with the community through live communication channels such as Twitter Spaces or Telegram AMAs.

FAQs
A few key reasons for why a proposal would be rejected could be that Curate has hit the maximum number of proposals per quarter (Max 3), the proposal is no longer relevant or the total amount of XCUR exceeds the quarterly maximum.
This depends on the complexity of the proposal. If the proposal is a simple fact of moving funds, the review process will be short; however, if the proposal is more complex such as a marketing campaign, it can take up to 30 days to progress through the review process before going live.
Yes, all proposals will be shared with the community. Proposals will display a ‘Rejected’ status and be given a reason in the ‘Reporting’ section. An example of a proposal that will be rejected could but is not limited to:
- Assigning a large amount of XCUR without giving an adequate description, information, or voting options.
- A proposal lacking information or does not make sense
- Providing too few options.
- Does not conform with our Terms & Conditions
Yes, it is possible to make amendments and edits to a new or pending proposal. Please contact support@curate.style with your account email address so our team can verify you are the proposal author. Likewise, if the Curate team needs to add and edit information, we will contact you to collaborate. You can request changes at any point before the start date of the proposal.
The only thing that will display for the community to view is your Curate username. No sensitive information about you will be tied to the proposal.
Yes, you can deposit more XCUR into your in-app wallet but any XCUR deposited after the snapshot (start date & time of a proposal), cannot be used for the 15 days runtime. To vote with your increased XCUR balance, you will need to wait for the next proposal to commence.
Yes, our voting mechanism currently requires no lock on funds even if you have voted and the proposal is still running; your votes will still be counted.
If your proposal is rejected, your XCUR will go into the community governance reserve. Your XCUR will ONLY be refunded if your proposal is accepted.
We want all proposals to be well thought through and attaching a cost aspect will hopefully limit the number of times a user can propose. Ideally, we would like a healthy number of proposals to review each quarter.
