Getting Started

Collective Governance implements a flexible approach to voting to support a wide variety of communities. Each community can define the individuals who may participate in governance decision making by defining a VoterClass. The VoterClass defines the characteristics of the voting population and determines if the wallet is in or out for a particular vote.

Setting up a Governance contract is a two step process.

Build a VoterClass

VoterClass Implementations:

• Open voting - CommunityClassOpenVote

• ERC-721 Token voting (including ERC-721 Enumerable) - CommunityClassERC721

• Pool voting - based on a specific list of voters - :ref:`CommunityClassVoterPool

<CommunityClassVoterPool

>`

Create the Governance contract

Once the VoterClass has been created for your community, proceed with building a Governance <Governance contract. There are two ways to build a contract.

Builders

• System to build a contract with the fewest number of transactions

• GovernanceBuilder to build a contract with the fewest number of parameters

Contract Requirements

• VoterClass The project voter class. Possibly based on an ERC-721 <https://erc721.org> token.

• Supervisor One or more project supervisors to act as a community steward
