# WavesFunny Governance

## WavesFunny Governance

**WavesFunny Governance** is an on-chain system that gives WAVES stakers a real voice in the future of the node. We believe that a node’s direction should be shaped by its community, not just its operator

### Governance Contract

All voting and proposals are managed through the **WF-WavesDAO** governance contract: `3PD2g7DBsnrk3idy7xBpTXEcGhPkw95L3x7`

### How It Works

Voting in WFN V2 is fully decentralized and non-custodial. **Your WAVES always stay in your wallet**, and your voting power is directly proportional to the amount of WAVES you have staked (leased) to our node

#### Stake-Weighted Voting

The more you stake, the more impact your vote has on the final decision. This ensures that the most committed community members have the greatest influence over the project’s direction

#### Non-Custodial & Secure

* **No Lock-in:** You can vote without ever sending your funds to a third-party account
* **Control:** Since your WAVES are never "locked" for voting, you can still unlease or move them at any time

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Stake Power Maturity:** To prevent governance manipulation, your voting power (Stake Power) only becomes active after your lease has matured for **1,000 blocks** (approx. 17 hours)
{% endhint %}

### What You Can Vote On

WavesFunny Governance allows you to participate in key decisions, including:

1. **Node Strategies:** Deciding which ecosystem projects to support or invest in (e.g., through WavesFunnyVC)
2. **Reward Payouts:** Voting on changes to reward distribution or new token integrations.
3. **New Features:** Proposing and deciding on new technical implementations (like the "King of the Hill" feature)
4. **Community Initiatives:** Directing node resources toward events, marketing, or community projects

{% hint style="info" %}
**Proposing a Change?** While everyone is encouraged to suggest new ideas, all proposals must first be **discussed with and agreed upon by the WFN team** before they can be officially pushed to the governance contract. Proposals submitted without prior team approval will not be placed on the **WF-Node governance**
{% endhint %}

#### WF-WavesDAO Operational Rights

To ensure the stability of our participation in the broader Power.tech - WavesDAO, WFN maintains the right to:
