  Overview of Governance Governance may sound formal and official as we are used to centralized governance. But what decentralized governance represents is a flow or process of continuously improving the Switcheo TradeHub protocol collectively. Why is decentralized governance fundamental to Switcheo TradeHub? In order for Switcheo to be truly censorship-resistant and permissionless, a distributed network of authority must exist to avoid centralized failure points, and to prevent a concentration of influence by a select few entities. By decentralizing governance, you will be empowered as a stakeholder to drive the growth of Switcheo TradeHub and implement the changes you wish to see on the protocol without undue restrictions. To organize all Switcheo stakeholders participating in governance, we have created a governance portal and social channels via the Switcheo Foundation forum and Switcheo Discord server, where you can discuss and exercise your governance rights. How does governance work? Governance on Switcheo TradeHub goes through 4 phases before the outcome of a proposed topic is enforced on-chain. The 4 phases are: Proposal → Voting → Results → Implementation The progression of a proposal through each stage is determined by a number criteria that determine if a proposal is passed or rejected. Proposal Phase Under Switcheo’s governance feature, any improvement or update to the blockchain’s protocol will be done via TradeHub Improvement Proposals (TIP). To bring forward a topic for voting, you will need to create a TIP on Switcheo TradeHub and acquire the minimum deposit amount of 10,000 SWTH to send the proposal into the Voting Stage. Anyone can contribute to this deposit amount. Tip: Before creating a TIP, we encourage you to put forth your ideas via the forum and discuss it on Discord. This will be useful as a gauge on whether the community is supportive of your proposal or not, and avoid potentially wasting your deposit. Before submitting a proposal on Switcheo TradeHub, learn more about how you can share your TIP ideas with the community, as well as how to properly propose your TIP in the walkthrough here. Voting Phase Once the proposal has reached the minimum deposit amount, it will automatically enter into the voting period which lasts for 2 days. While every community member has voting rights, your voting power or influence is determined by the amount of SWTH you staked on Switcheo TradeHub.The higher your stake, the bigger your voting power. After the 2 day voting period, results are tallied based on a few predetermined criteria. Results How are votes tallied? After the 2 day voting period, the voting results are recorded on-chain. In order for a proposal to pass, it must satisfy all of the following 3 criteria: Quorum: More than 33.4% of total staking power voted on a proposal For example, if the total staked SWTH is 600 million, it needs voting participation that makes up at least 200.4 million of the total amount staked Threshold: At least 50% of voters vote “Yes” on a proposal Veto: Less than 33.4% of voters vote “NowithVeto” The best case scenario is when the predetermined conditions are met and the proposal is passed. Details of scenarios where criteria is not met are explained using examples here. Implementation Proposals passed will be automatically implemented on the blockchain. The implementation process differs depending on the type of proposal. Implementation of proposals are final and irreversible (unless a new proposal is able to revert the change). Therefore, all changes proposed and voted on should be carefully weighed for maximum benefit to our ecosystem as a whole. If you’re going to vote, here’s a walkthrough on how to do so. If you’re going to make a proposal, here’s a walkthrough on how to do so.

  @Juanito - Hi, Unfortunately, the proposal claimed from the SDF the exact number of tokens required to fulfil the unswapped users claims, so there are no additional tokens to distribute. As we have told others, if you can rally others who haven't claimed the procedure can be repeated, so long as somebody is prepared to do the legwork to make it happen via a proposal etc.

  The v1.18.0 software upgrade for Switcheo TradeHub contains the following changes: Improvements Extend crosschain wrapper module to be generic instead of SWTH-specific (main denom only), allowing any arbitrary source token to be wrapped onto another chain API Node Changes Add block_height in ws response Bug Fixes Fix slow websocket blocktimes due to slow db queries V1.18.0 Binary Checksum: sha256:8d930d1571ddbb79b42d4c75b4af9415211f793f5bdcfab6887cfdddbb69d1ae V1.18.0 Binary Download: Link

  I like the idea in its essence. Some open questions: How does it scale to > 23 validators? (e.g. How does this look like with 100 validators?) Ideally it should work nicely even if max validator num is voted to be larger or smaller by using scaled values, rather than using hard-coded numbers. In terms of implementation - what is needed? Has the cosmos-sdk codebase that is relevant to this (see x/distribution module) been looked at? Core devs only has time to do so after Stargate. If we have consensus on the idea, ideally the patch can be funded by SDF too.

  Another solution will be to set a cap on the maximum allowable % tokens (say 10%) that can be staked with a Validator. Once the ceiling is reached delegators will not be able to delegate to that particular Validator and naturally delegate to other lower cap Validators. Thus, Tradehub will balance itself and eliminate the campaign by anybody to encourage delegators to delegate to lower % cap Validators and eliminate centralization of the voting power.

  we currently do not have the USDT option on demex. I think it should be added yeah, but next to the ETH/USDT option i think it should be combined with other USDT pairs at the same time. Thanks for your input!
