PARTICIPATION GOVERNANCE
A petition created during cycle C snapshots a seconding quota of C ParticipationVouchers. Seconding does not spend the voucher. Binding votes do: one burned ParticipationVoucher equals one unit of ballot weight.
YOUR GOVERNANCE WEIGHT
Seconding is reusable signaling. Voting is a permanent exchange: approved vouchers are transferred to governance, burned, and replaced only by a locked vote receipt with zero future voting weight.
Approval only grants the governance contract permission to move ParticipationVouchers you explicitly choose in a later vote transaction. It does not burn or transfer anything by itself.
PUBLIC PETITION
Creating a petition does not require a ParticipationVoucher. The current cycle is snapshotted when the transaction lands, and that cycle number becomes the permanent seconding quota.
NETWORK-LOCAL GOVERNANCE
These records belong to Avalanche Fuji. Voucher ownership, seconding weight, burned voting weight, vote receipts, and motion records all remain on this network.
THE MODEL
Anyone can create a petition. The creation cycle is snapshotted and becomes the second quota.
One owned ParticipationVoucher equals one second. Vouchers are not consumed and cannot second the same petition twice.
One surrendered ParticipationVoucher equals one ballot-weight unit. The vouchers are permanently burned.
With three or more outcomes, ballot weight transfers down the voter’s ranking until a majority winner remains.
An exact unresolved elimination tie pauses the parent motion. No randomness is used; a new voucher-funded runoff resolves the tie.
The voter receives a locked VoteReceiptNFT. The project wallet receives a locked MotionRecordNFT when the vote closes.
