** Update 12 Feb 2026 - v3.0.0 is now on mainnet. ** Next xGov Registry release will be version v3.0.0 New features: Absenteeism penalty: if xGovs are absent for N proposals in a row, they will lose the xGov status. Absences are counted in Proposal scrutiny. They can rejoin by subscribing again …

[image] Adri: actively boycott why there are multiple forms to vote for proposal as no? with boycote with voting no with not voting and there is only one way to vote for yes.. perhaps this may lead to discrapancy between the yes/no portion? are there going to be any rules that yes/no is g…

Hi Adri, Thank you for the detailed update on xGov v3.0.0. Please consider allowing large ALGO holders who actively participated in previous Governance rounds to join the voting process again. I was fully involved in all past votes and contributed as much as I could. Now, it’s frustrating to jus…

Now, it’s frustrating to just watch from the sidelines while my ALGO tokens sit idle in the wallet. It feels like a missed opportunity to support the ecosystem’s growth. if you are running a node you are eligible to be an xGov. Valar can be used to participate in consensus while maintaining self…

Ludo, boycott in this context = not counted in any quorums, but attentive and participating. This will allow the system to identify the difference between xGovs who sign up and never show up to vote, and xGov who show up to vote but do not want to be counted in the quorum (like protesting against a…

but why is there difference between no and boycott? if someone who wants to vote no against the whale will by mistake vote “no” over “boycott” and his vote will count as yes as he meets the quorum requirement for the whale just make no “boycott" vote and make one no vote.. and the result make that …

I agree with Ludo here that I don’t understand the difference between no and boycott. We should only have no. A user has to skip 5 in a row to be DQ, so they can easily just not vote for one if they don’t want it to reach quorum.

Just thinking out loud, but if you change the vote quorum to simply a yes quorum (needs yes from 30%+ of voters), then we don’t need to have 3 versions of voting no and people can vote no without having to worry about their vote helping people pass.

[image] LoafPickle: needs yes from 30%+ of voters why 30% and not 50%? when 30% accounts vote yes, does it mean that 70% have voted no? Why should we call it quorum and not “vote by stake and vote per account” ? and both have to have > 50% in order the proposal to be passed..

I was just throwing out a number, it’s completely arbitrary

this seems too complex to achieve what? isn’t it enough to disregard absentees in democratic quorum to fix absenteeism issue? three types of no’s (sic). let me add a fourth no to this v3.0.0 - no to three types of no’s. now we have four no’s.
