xGov is a decentralized, on-chain platform built with upgradable smart-contracts that enables Algorand Consensus participants to fund open-source builders across the ecosystem, fostering the development of useful community tools.

Voting power is required to vote on proposals, and it is accumulated by wallets securing the network by participating in consensus, where one block produced equals one vote.
Algorand Forum account
You need an account on this forum to participate in the proposals discussion or, if you are a proposer, to create the proposal discussion thread. Click on the “Sign Up” button in the upper right corner of the screen to get started.
When creating your account you can use your name or a pseudonym. Once you have an account you can contribute to all discussions.
You don’t need an account to read the discussions.
Using the xGov Platform
Once your forum account is created, navigate to the xGov platform linked at the start of this thread to start browsing proposals.
Browsing Proposals
You don’t need your wallet to be connected to browse proposals. You can click on any proposal displayed on the homepage. Proposals have tags declaring their status: Discussing, Voting, Approved, Rejected, Withdrawn, or Deleted.
The posts below cover how to “Become an xGov”, “Submit Proposals” and "Manage Your Profile” in detail.
