Creating a Governance Action

Step 0: Connect your wallet and go to the Governance Page for your Organization.

Step 1: Select your governance action type.

The first step is to select whether you are creating an Off-Chain Snapshot or an On-Chain Agora Proposal. On-chain Agora Proposals are only available to Agora DAOs. Off-chain snapshots cover everything else.

If you choose to create an Agora Proposal, follow this guide to finish creation.

If you choose an off-chain snapshot, you'll choose your type next. You can choose between Forums, Polls, Open Polls, or Snapshot Proposals. Proceed to step 2.
