Decision Making (Draft)

Qubic operates on a democratic model. Every member of the community has a say in decision making. Community input is essential to maintaining the decentralized nature of Qubic and ensuring its evolution aligns with the needs and wants of its users, with key decisions made collectively by the Quorum. This process ensures that all voices are heard and that the ecosystem evolves in a way that benefits all users.

How Decisions are Made​

Decision-making in Qubic involves several steps:

  1. Idea: Any member of the Qubic community can propose a change or new feature. This idea is then shared with the entire community for consideration.
  2. Discussion: Community members can discuss the idea, ask questions, and offer feedback. The person who made the proposal may revise it based on the feedback received.
  3. Proposal: After a thorough discussion, the idea can evolve into a formal proposal. This proposal incorporates all the feedback and revisions from the community discussion. It provides a detailed plan of action, clearly stating what the change or new feature is and how it will be implemented.
  4. Voting: Once the proposal is finalized, it is put to a vote. A quorum must participate in the vote for the decision to be valid. The specific number constituting a quorum may vary depending on the significance of the decision.
  5. Implementation: If the proposal receives majority support in the vote, it is accepted and moves into the implementation phase. If not, it is either revised for further consideration or discarded.

Why is the Quorum important?​

The quorum ensures that decisions are not made by a small subset of the community. By requiring a minimum level of participation, the quorum ensures that a wide cross-section of the community is represented in each decision.

The quorum-based decision-making process in Qubic promotes fairness, transparency, and inclusivity. It gives every computor a say in the project's future and helps to build a more robust and resilient Qubic ecosystem.
