EXP TEMPLATE: Expedited Governance Proposal

Safeguards (Hard Eligibility Rules)

Not Eligible for Expedited Track

  • New Fleet (Vault) creation.
  • New ARK onboarding/offboarding.
  • Protocol contract upgrades.
  • Governance parameter changes.
  • Tokenomics changes.
  • Changes affecting liquidation logic or risk engine.
  • Treasury commitments exceeding defined cap.
  • Long-term recurring funding (> 3 months).

These must go through RFC β†’ SIP.

Eligible Criteria

An Expedited Proposal must:

  1. Be operational, administrative, or tactical in nature.
  2. Be reversible or low impact.
  3. Have clearly defined scope and execution.
  4. Not require new smart contract deployment.
  5. Stay under treasury cap.

Cap: ≀10% of treasury OR $50,000 equivalent (whichever is lower).

  1. Have no material risk to protocol solvency.
  2. Remain open for 48h mandatory review on the Forum.
  3. Include at least 1 of the following tags: expedited / fast-track / time-sensitive

If >3 delegates (with highest VP) request escalation β†’ it can convert into SIP before 48h review window finalizes.


Use this template to create an expedited (fast-track) proposal that will go to a DAO vote on Tally. XXXs should be a middle lane for low-risk, operational, time-sensitive decisions that don’t justify a full RFC β†’ SIP lifecycle/timeline; but still require transparency.
