# Finalizing Proposals

How proposals resolve and get executed on-chain.

## Resolution

When a proposal's trading period ends, the contract reads the final prices of the YES and NO markets. The market with the higher final price determines the outcome:

* **YES market higher → proposal passes.** The onchain action described in the proposal is executed automatically.
* **NO market higher → proposal fails.** No changes are made. The protocol state remains unchanged.

Both outcomes execute automatically. No human action — from Lumena, the proposer, or anyone — is required to finalize.

## Execution

Proposals specifying a concrete onchain action are executed by the governance contract immediately on resolution. Signaling proposals have no automatic onchain effect — they serve as a visible, permanent expression of community sentiment.

## Proposal history

All proposals — passed and rejected — remain visible in the Governance section of the app with their final vote distribution and execution status. This creates a permanent, auditable record of every protocol decision Lumena has made.
