# Creating Proposals

> Who can submit governance proposals and what they can cover.

## Who can create a proposal?

Any connected wallet can submit a governance proposal. There is no minimum token threshold. A small XLM submission fee is charged to prevent spam — this fee is governance-set and goes to the protocol treasury.

## What proposals can cover

* **Operational changes** — increase/decrease allowance budget, target floor or ceiling
* **Treasury allocation** — directing protocol fee revenue toward grants, development, or liquidity
* **Feature signaling** — expressing community support for new protocol directions
* **Emergency actions** — protective measures in the event of a future challenge

## What makes a good proposal

The best proposals are specific and falsifiable. The more specific you are, the more accurately the prediction market can price it.

<CodeGroup>
  ```json Regular Navigation theme={null}
  // Good ✓ // [!code ++]
  "Increase the monthly marketing budget by 10% for 90 days"

  // Not a proposal ✗ // [!code --]
  "Improve the protocol"
  ```

  ```json Nested Navigation theme={null}
  // Good ✓
  "Reduce the minimum raise duration from 72 hours to 24 hours"

  // Not a proposal ✗
  "Improve the protocol"
  ```
</CodeGroup>

A well-formed proposal includes a clear title, rationale explaining why this benefits the protocol, the specific on-chain change that would be executed if it passes, known risks, and a proposed voting duration.
