# Governance Process

Welcome to the starting point of THORSwap Community Governance! This is a simple breakdown of the governance process for **THORSwap Improvement Proposals** (TIP for short). It is a living document intended to be owned, modified and enforced by the overall community. Full details can be found at: <https://forum.thorswap.finance/thread/43684>

> ### **Ideation**
>
> start with a post here in ⁠🧠・community-ideas . No specific template is necessary.&#x20;
>
> ### **Discussion**&#x20;
>
> (5 days minimum) - create a draft proposal on <https://forum.thorswap.finance/> under **'Proposals'**, following these instructions: <https://forum.thorswap.finance/thread/how-to-create-a-new-tip-thorswap-improvement-proposal-43683&#x20>;
>
> ### **Voting**
>
> After poll has completed with more 'For' than 'Against', it can then be posted to Snapshot for official on-chain vote. **Execution** - If on-chain vote passes with majority in favour, then the proposal shall be executed as specified. Any amendments should be made as a new community proposal following the above process.

## **Community Incentives Allocation: Purpose & Goals**&#x20;

THORSwap is a protocol by the community, for the community. Of the original token distribution, 50% of the total supply (250M $THOR tokens) was allocated to Community Incentives. The core purpose of this allocation is to help drive adoption of THORSwap, as governed by the community. The community is empowered to submit and vote on proposals for how best to use this allocation. Once an idea has been sufficiently fleshed out, create a draft proposal here with a poll to discuss moving forward to on-chain vote.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.thorswap.finance/thorswap/thor/about/community-governance/governance-process.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
