Minswap’s governance lets $MIN holders decide the protocol’s future. This guide explains how to read a proposal, cast your vote, and what metadata to check.
Understand the proposal view
- Proposal details (red area in screenshot)
Links, references, and context so you know exactly what you’re voting on (e.g., Cardanoscan links, treasury addresses, summary text). - Cast your vote (green area)
The options defined by the proposer (e.g., “Yes, pass the proposal” / “No, do not pass the proposal”). - Votes list (blue area)
Current votes show a partial wallet address, the voter’s choice, and their voting power.
How to Vote
