The first phase of Starknet Governance has been launched (more details here). From now on, community members can participate in shaping Starknet through a further channel, namely voting on protocol changes.

In its first phase, Starknet governance will focus on Starknet protocol upgrades. Every Starknet version upgrade will be deployed on Goerli Testnet; voters will then have a 6-day period to examine and test the upgraded version as it runs on Goerli. During this time, a Snapshot proposal will be opened, and the community can vote on whether to approve or reject the upgraded version for Mainnet deployment.

If the proposal gains a majority of ‘YES’ votes during the six-day voting period, the proposal passes and Starknet mainnet will be upgraded accordingly. We expect the vote on Starknet Alpha v0.12.0 to be open soon.

We encourage you to read all the details in the following posts and engage with the discussions in the Starknet community forum.
