Proposals are critical function in the governance process. These proposals can cover a range of topics, from software upgrades to smart contract deployments during the permissioned phase, and the creation of new BSNs. It is a structured framework for submitting, discussing, and voting on these proposals, ensuring transparency and accountability.

The governance system is designed to balance the need for efficient governance with the need for decentralization and community participation. Deposits and voting periods are required to submit proposals, ensuring that the proposals are taken seriously and are worth the resources to implement. There are also mechanisms for expedited proposals and safeguards against potential harmful ones.
