# Proposals

Circularity Finance's DAO structure provides a robust framework for both centralized and decentralized governance, empowering community members through financial or non-financial proposals. \
\
Here's a detailed explanation of how DAOs within Circularity Finance can utilize this structure to create and manage proposals effectively.

**Types of DAO Proposals**

**Centralized Proposals:**

* **Proposal Creation:** In a centralized model, only the deployer of the DAO contract—the founding member or the designated shareholders—can initiate proposals.
* **Voting Rights:** NFT memberships, representing a stake in the DAO, grant holders the right to vote on these proposals, ensuring that decision-making power is distributed among stakeholders.

**Decentralized Proposals:**

* **Proposal Rights:** A more democratic approach allows any NFT membership holder to put forth ideas and proposals to the DAO community.
* **Voting Mechanism:** Token holders within the DAO have the right to vote on these proposals, fostering a direct and engaging relationship between NFT holders and token holders.

**Crafting Financial and Non-Financial Proposals**\

**Financial Proposals:**

* **Multi-Signature Wallet:** These proposals involve a multi-signature wallet where funds will be deposited if the proposal reaches a consensus of approval.
* **Value Release:** Upon approval, the smart contract governing the proposal responds by releasing funds according to the agreed terms, ensuring that financial transactions are executed as per the collective decision.

**Non-Financial Proposals:**

* **Open Discussion:** Proposals of this nature focus on facilitating open discussions among DAO members without any financial stakes involved.
* **Transparent Voting:** The voting process is transparent, allowing members to cast their votes without compromising their identity or exposing their voting preferences.\
