## Abstract Make the following adjustments to yETH governance voting: - Add a quorum requirement for votes to be considered valid. - Introduce a decay in voting power as the voting period is about to end. ## Motivation These modifications support the transition to on-chain governance and aim to safeguard yETH governance from misuse. ### Quorum - Minimizes the risk of spurious or harmful proposals being passed unnoticed. - Reduces spam; saves resources and effort for sincere voters by eliminating the need to respond to proposals with low chances of success. ### Voting Power Decay - Deters abrupt, influential votes in the last block, preventing manipulation by large token holders. ## Future Possibilities The framework is adaptable, allowing for future enhancements based on governance participation trends. ## Specification ### Application - Applies to all governance votes, including weights and asset inclusion ### Quorum - A defined `quorum` threshold of st-yETH participation is necessary for a vote’s passage. - `quorum` is measured in voting power (vp), not in st-yETH - `quorum` is adjustable through yETH governance: - Range: 0 to 500 vp - Default: 100 vp ### Voting Power Decay - Voting weights decrease linearly in the final 24 hours, reaching zero at the end of the voting period. ### Implementation - Quorum: Immediately - Voting Power Decay: With the launch of on-chain governance
