Guide to Voting

This page is a practical guide for participating in CenturionDEX governance.

For full contract-level details, see Governance Overview.

What You Need

Governance tokens with voting power
A wallet connected to the correct chain
Native token for gas
Access to a governance interface (or direct contract interaction)

Step 1: Delegate Voting Power

You must delegate before your voting power is counted.

Option A: Self-Delegate

Delegate to your own address if you plan to vote directly.

Option B: Delegate to Another Address

Delegate to a trusted representative if you want them to vote for you.

Delegation does not transfer token ownership. It only assigns voting power.

Step 2: Verify Delegation

Before a proposal goes active, verify that your delegated votes are visible.

You can verify via:

Governance UI voting-power panel
Block explorer contract reads
getCurrentVotes(address) on the governance token contract

Step 3: Cast a Vote

When a proposal is active:

Open the proposal details
Review payload and rationale
Vote For or Against
Confirm and sign the transaction
Wait for confirmation

Votes are weighted by delegated voting power at the proposal snapshot block.

Optional: Vote by Signature

If your integration supports it, governance contracts also expose signature-based vote flows (castVoteBySig) for offline signing patterns.

Common Issues

No Voting Power Showing

Delegation happened after snapshot
Wrong wallet/network selected
Delegation transaction not confirmed yet

Transaction Reverted

Proposal no longer active
Insufficient gas
Stale nonce or replaced transaction

Proposal Visible But Vote Missing

Transaction still pending
Vote submitted from a different address than delegated account

Good Practices

Delegate well before proposal start
Read full proposal text and target calls
Verify contract addresses against official sources
Recheck status near voting deadline
