Once the mission vote closes and a winner is known, AssangeDAO will finally have an official purpose again. That is the necessary first step, but most mature DAOs also publish a short set of supporting statements so that holders, contributors, and others have a shared reference for proposals and spending, and for the future of JUSTICE.

### What other DAOs typically have

| Layer | Purpose | Examples |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Purpose** (Why) | The deeper reason the DAO exists | Lido: “Keep Ethereum decentralized, accessible, and resistant to censorship.” Gitcoin: “Empower communities to fund their shared needs.” |
| **Mission** (What we do) | Concrete work | Lido: “Make staking simple, secure, and decentralized.” Gitcoin: “Create technologies and opportunities that enable communities to build, fund and protect what matters.” |
| **Vision** (Where) | Picture of the world if the mission succeeds | Lido: “A world in which Ethereum is the coordination and value layer of the internet.” Gitcoin: “A world shaped by community-led positive change.” ShapeShift: “A borderless financial system built on open, decentralized protocols.” |
| **Values / Principles** | How decisions are made when rules are silent | MoonDAO (equality, transparency, abundance, community-first). ShapeShift (Trustworthy, Collaborative, Adaptive, Spirited, Pioneering). Decentraland DAO has explicit pillars under its mission. |
| **Goals / Roadmap** | Time-bound priorities | MoonDAO has phased goals to 2030. Lido has GOOSE (goals and key results). Gitcoin has yearly strategy + essential intents. |

AssangeDAO’s own earlier forum thread [(t/285)](https://forum.assangedao.org/t/assangedao-must-come-up-with-a-new-mission-statement-and-goals-now-that-julian-assange-is-free/285) already sketched Vision, Goals, and Core Values alongside various mission drafts. Those were never put to a vote.

### What will still be missing after the mission vote

1. **Vision** — A short description of the world the DAO is working toward if the mission succeeds.
2. **Values / operating principles** — A short list (typically 4–6) that guides spending, partnerships, and proposal screening. The Consensus Unit already references “Julian’s values”; these have never been formalized as DAO-wide principles.
3. **Goals / priorities** — Mission alone does not tell holders or contributors what to fund first. AIP-20 holds staking rewards until the mission vote; after that, spending still needs a framework.
4. **Application criteria** — How the mission is interpreted in borderline cases (what counts as aligned work, who decides).

### Suggested next step

Keep the current mission vote focused and Immediately after it passes, we could open a short follow-up discussion and AIP that adds:

- A one-sentence Vision
- A short list of Values / Principles
- A lightweight process for setting near-term goals (tied to the Perpetual Fund returns or an annual spending vote)

This is the same pattern used by Gitcoin, Lido, ShapeShift, MoonDAO, and others. It gives the DAO a complete package without delaying the mission decision itself.

Happy to help draft the follow-up once the mission result is known.

Or if others have different ideas for the immediate next steps please feel free to share, let’s keep the momentum going.

For JUSTICE!

For Assange.

* * *

一旦使命投票结束并确定获胜选项，AssangeDAO 将再次拥有官方宗旨。这是必要的第一步，但大多数成熟的 DAO 还会发布一套简短的配套声明，以便持币人、贡献者以及其他相关方在提案、支出以及 JUSTICE 的未来方向上有共同的参考依据。

### 其他 DAO 通常具备的内容

| 层级 | 目的 | 示例 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **宗旨** （为何存在） | DAO 存在的深层原因 | Lido：“保持以太坊去中心化、人人可及、抗审查。” Gitcoin：“赋能社区资助其共同需求。” |
| **使命** （我们做什么） | 具体工作 | Lido：“让质押简单、安全、去中心化。” Gitcoin：“创造技术与机会，使社区能够构建、资助并保护重要的事物。” |
| **愿景** （走向何方） | 使命成功后的世界图景 | Lido：“一个以太坊成为互联网协调与价值层的世界。” Gitcoin：“一个由社区主导的积极变革所塑造的世界。” ShapeShift：“一个建立在开放、去中心化协议之上的无国界金融系统。” |
| **价值观 / 原则** | 规则未覆盖时的决策依据 | MoonDAO（平等、透明、丰盛、社区优先）。ShapeShift（值得信赖、协作、适应、有活力、开拓）。Decentraland DAO 在其使命下设有明确支柱。 |
| **目标 / 路线图** | 有时间节点的优先事项 | MoonDAO 有至 2030 年的分阶段目标。Lido 有 GOOSE（目标与关键结果）。Gitcoin 有年度战略 + 核心意图。 |

AssangeDAO 自己早期的论坛帖子（t/285）已经在各种使命草案旁边草拟过愿景、目标与核心价值观。这些内容从未进入投票。

### 使命投票结束后仍将缺失的内容

1. **愿景** — 简短描述 DAO 在使命成功后所追求的世界。
2. **价值观 / 运营原则** — 一份简短清单（通常 4–6 条），用于指导支出、合作与提案筛选。共识单元已提及“朱利安的价值观”，但这些尚未被正式化为 DAO 层面的原则。
3. **目标 / 优先事项** — 仅有使命并不足以告诉持币人或贡献者应优先资助什么。AIP-20 规定质押收益在使命投票前锁定；之后，支出仍需要一个框架。
4. **应用标准** — 如何在边界情况下解释使命（什么算对齐的工作、由谁决定）。

### 建议的下一步

保持当前使命投票的专注。投票通过后，我们可以立即开启一场简短的后续讨论与 AIP，补充：

- 一句愿景
- 一份简短的价值观 / 原则清单
- 一个轻量级的近期目标设定流程（与永续基金收益或年度支出投票挂钩）

这与 Gitcoin、Lido、ShapeShift、MoonDAO 等 DAO 所采用的模式相同。它能为 DAO 提供一套完整的配套内容，同时不延迟使命本身的决定。

使命结果出来后，我很乐意协助起草后续内容。

如果其他人对于接下来的即时步骤有不同想法，也欢迎分享，让我们保持势头。

为了 JUSTICE！

为了阿桑奇。

**Peace mission is leading the vote with \>99%. Here’s what I think we do next.**

AIP-18 isn’t closed yet, but likely the official mission becomes:

> AssangeDAO holds to Julian Assange’s belief: “If wars can be started by lies, peace can be started by truth.” Our mission is peace: to support work that resolves conflict and builds understanding, and to sustain the worldwide solidarity that helped win Assange his freedom, so that no one who speaks up for peace has to stand alone.
> 
> Our principle: we neither support nor oppose any political party, government, or candidate.

That’s the purpose. It goes on the site and it becomes the reference for future proposals.

Most DAOs also publish a short set of supporting statements so people know how to read the mission when a proposal comes in. The old thread (t/285) already had drafts of Vision, Goals, and Values. They were never voted.

Under Peace I think the useful additions are:

## EXAMPLE:

**Vision**

A world in which truth reduces the power of lies to start wars, and no one who speaks for peace has to stand alone.

**Values**

- Neutrality: we neither support nor oppose any party, government, or candidate.
- Solidarity: the network that freed Julian is the model.
- Truth as the method: peace is pursued by making facts public and checkable.
- Open coordination: cryptography and public process over closed deals.

**Priorities**

Once the mission is official, the practical questions are:

- How do we judge a request against “support work that resolves conflict and builds understanding”?
- What does the Perpetual Fund get spent on first?
- Do we publish the new mission on the site and in the FAQ this week, or wait until the supporting statements are voted?

**Next step**

After the vote closes and Peace is confirmed, I tihnk we should open a short discussion on the Vision, the Values list, and a simple rule for the first use of Perpetual Fund returns: holders vote on each request, using the mission and the neutrality principle.

What do you think?

What is is missing for our core statements now that Mission is (almost) decided?

For JUSTICE.

For Assange.

Thank you, zylo. I agree with the order. As soon as the vote closes, publish the mission on the site and on X. It stands on its own, and the supporting statements can follow in their own AIP.

For the values, I’d add two from the Chinese community’s discussion:

- Accountability: every treasury action is posted in full before it is signed, so any holder can check it, as we did with AIP-20’s transactions and the weekly reports.
- Dignity: we don’t use war or suffering to promote the DAO or the token.

For judging requests, a short test might be enough:

1. Does it resolve conflict or build understanding, or support people who speak up for peace?
2. Does it pass the neutrality principle?
3. Who receives the money, and can they legally accept it?
4. Will they report back publicly on how it was used?

For the first use of the Perpetual Fund returns, I agree that holders should vote on each request. Starting with small grants, and asking for a public report before any larger ones, would let us test the process cheaply.

感谢 zylo，我同意这个顺序。投票一结束，就把使命发布到官网和 X 上。使命本身已经完整，配套声明可以随后单独提 AIP。

价值观方面，我想补充中文社区讨论中提到的两条：

- 问责：每一笔国库操作都在签名之前完整公开，任何持币人都可以核对，就像 AIP-20 的几笔交易和每周报告那样。
- 尊严：不利用战争或苦难来宣传 DAO 或代币。

评判资助申请，一个简短的检验也许就够了：

1. 它是否有助于化解冲突、增进理解，或支持为和平发声的人？
2. 它是否符合中立原则？
3. 谁收款，对方能否合法接收？
4. 对方是否会公开报告资金的使用情况？

永续基金收益的首次使用，我同意由持币人对每一项申请投票。先从小额资助开始，并要求对方公开报告之后再考虑更大的金额，这样可以用较低的成本把流程跑通。

Thanks, zylo. It reads well, and it’s good to see the mission right at the top. Three small things:

1. The Chinese mission should be the text holders voted on in AIP-18. The site has a different translation. The voted text is:

AssangeDAO 秉持朱利安·阿桑奇的信念：“如果战争可以由谎言发动，和平就可以由真相开启。”我们的使命是和平：支持化解冲突、增进理解的事业，延续那场帮助阿桑奇赢得自由的全球声援，让每一个为和平发声的人都不必孤身一人。

我们的原则：不支持、也不反对任何政党、政府或候选人。

1. Could you add [PardonAssange.org](http://PardonAssange.org) under “Get involved”? The old site linked to the petition, and signing it is one of the simplest things a holder can do.

2. In Chinese mode a few labels are still in English: “Home” (首页), “Vote” (投票), “total Safe value” (Safe 总价值) and “Copy” (复制).

───  
中文

感谢 zylo，新版读起来很好，使命放在最显眼的位置也很好。有三处小地方：

1. 中文使命应当使用 AIP-18 中持币人投票通过的文本，网站上目前是另一个译本。投票通过的文本见上。

2. 能否在"参与"部分加上 [PardonAssange.org](http://PardonAssange.org) 的链接？旧网站有请愿的入口，而签名是持币人最容易参与的事情之一。

3. 中文模式下还有几处是英文：“Home”（首页）、“Vote”（投票）、“total Safe value”（Safe 总价值）和"Copy"（复制）。

The mission is decided, and zylo has the site ready, but [assangedao.org](http://assangedao.org) still shows the old mission; it hasn’t been updated since July. zylo mentioned he doesn’t have access to it.

Whoever manages [assangedao.org](http://assangedao.org): could you add zylo as a maintainer, so he can update the content directly? The same goes for @AssangeDAO on X. X’s delegate access lets someone post for an account without sharing its password, and it can be withdrawn at any time. Adding zylo there would mean news like the mission vote reaches people quickly.

使命已经确定，zylo 也已经把新官网准备好了，但 [assangedao.org](http://assangedao.org) 上仍然是旧使命，自 7 月以来一直没有更新。zylo 提到他没有官网的权限。

请管理 [assangedao.org](http://assangedao.org) 的朋友把 zylo 加为维护者，让他可以直接更新内容。官推 @AssangeDAO 也一样：X 的"委托访问"功能可以让别人代为发帖，不需要共享密码，而且随时可以收回。把 zylo 加进来，像使命投票这样的消息就能更快传出去。

</div>

zylo, building on your outline in #2, here is a draft we could put to a vote. Nobody has suggested changes to the vision or the four values you proposed, so they’re in as you wrote them, with the two values from #3 added. If you’re happy with it, could you upload it to Snapshot on 1 November, together with AIP-22 (the Perpetual Fund grants, in its own thread)?

* * *

**AIP-21: Supporting statements for the mission**

**1. Summary**

AIP-18 made peace AssangeDAO’s mission. This proposal adds a vision, a set of values, and a short test for whether a piece of work fits the mission, so that holders, signers and applicants read the mission the same way.

**2. Motivation**

A mission says what the DAO is for. It does not say how to judge a proposal or a request for funds when the case is unclear. Most DAOs publish a few supporting statements for this. AssangeDAO’s earlier drafts of these (t/285) were never voted on.

**3. Proposal details**

_Vision_  
A world in which truth reduces the power of lies to start wars, and no one who speaks for peace has to stand alone.

_Values_

- Neutrality: we neither support nor oppose any political party, government, or candidate.
- Solidarity: the worldwide network that helped win Julian Assange his freedom is our model.
- Truth as the method: we pursue peace by making facts public and checkable.
- Open coordination: cryptography and public process, not closed deals.
- Accountability: every treasury action is posted in full before it is signed, so any holder can check it, unless an AIP provides otherwise.
- Dignity: we don’t use war or suffering to promote the DAO or the token.

_The mission test_  
A proposal, project or grant fits the mission when the answer to all four questions is yes:

1. Does it help resolve conflict or build understanding, or support people who speak up for peace?
2. Does it respect the neutrality principle?
3. Can the people receiving support lawfully accept it?
4. Will they report back publicly on what was done?

These statements are published alongside the mission on the DAO’s website. They can be amended by a later AIP. This vote authorizes no treasury spending.

**4. Voting options**

- For
- Against
- Abstain

(Approval voting is set for the whole space, so please tick only one option.)

**5. Implementation**

Discussion until 31 October 23:59 UTC. Uploaded to Snapshot on 1 November 00:00 UTC; the vote opens on 2 November and closes on 4 November. $JUSTICE-weighted.

* * *

中文

zylo，以下是在你 #2 框架基础上整理的、可以付诸投票的草案。到目前为止没有人对你提出的愿景和四条价值观提出修改，所以它们按你的原文保留，另外加上了 #3 中提出的两条。如果你同意，能否在 11 月 1 日把它和 AIP-22（永续基金资助规则，另开帖子讨论）一起上传到 Snapshot？

* * *

**AIP-21：使命的配套声明**

**1. 摘要**

AIP-18 确立了和平为 AssangeDAO 的使命。本提案补充一句愿景、一组价值观，以及判断一项工作是否符合使命的简短检验，让持币人、签名人和申请人对使命有一致的理解。

**2. 动机**

使命说明 DAO 为何存在，却没有说明在情况不明确时，如何评判一项提案或资助申请。大多数 DAO 会为此发布几条配套声明。AssangeDAO 早期草拟过的版本（t/285）从未经过投票。

**3. 提案详情**

_愿景_  
一个真相削弱谎言发动战争之力的世界；在那里，为和平发声的人都不必孤身一人。

_价值观_

- 中立：不支持、也不反对任何政党、政府或候选人。
- 声援：以那张帮助朱利安·阿桑奇赢得自由的全球声援网络为榜样。
- 以真相为方法：通过让事实公开、可核查来追求和平。
- 开放协作：依靠密码学和公开的程序，而不是私下交易。
- 问责：每一笔国库操作都在签名之前完整公开，任何持币人都可以核对，除非 AIP 另有规定。
- 尊严：不利用战争或苦难来宣传 DAO 或代币。

_使命检验_  
一项提案、项目或资助，只有在以下四个问题的答案都是"是"时，才符合使命：

1. 它是否有助于化解冲突、增进理解，或支持为和平发声的人？
2. 它是否遵守中立原则？
3. 受资助方能否合法接收这笔支持？
4. 受资助方是否会公开报告做了什么？

这些声明将与使命一起发布在 DAO 官网上，可通过之后的 AIP 修订。本次投票不授权任何国库支出。

**4. 投票选项**

- 赞成
- 反对
- 弃权

（整个空间设置为认可投票，请只勾选一个选项。）

**5. 实施**

讨论至 10 月 31 日 23:59 UTC。11 月 1 日 00:00 UTC 上传至 Snapshot，投票于 11 月 2 日开始、11 月 4 日结束。按 $JUSTICE 加权。

Thanks innocent, and thanks Zylo for the outline and the new site.

I support AIP-21. The vision and values read well, and the four-question test gives applicants and holders a shared way to read the mission.

Solidarity is the one that means most to me. I’d like the DAO to keep standing with people who speak up for peace, the way so many people stood with Julian.

Thanks also to the Chinese-speaking community for Accountability and Dignity. As a signer, I’m glad to see Accountability written down.

On [assangedao.org](http://assangedao.org) ([http://assangedao.org/](http://assangedao.org/)): I’m working with our volunteer hosting to get the new website up, apologies on the delay.

感谢 innocent，也感谢 zylo 提出的框架和新版官网。

我支持 AIP-21。愿景和价值观都写得很好，四个问题的使命检验也让申请人和持币人对使命有一致的理解。

在这些价值观里，我最有感触的是"声援"。我希望这个 DAO 继续声援为和平发声的人，就像当年那么多人声援 Julian 一样。

也感谢中文社区提出"问责"和"尊严"这两条。作为签名人，我很高兴看到"问责"被明确写进价值观。

关于 [assangedao.org](http://assangedao.org) ([http://assangedao.org/](http://assangedao.org/))：我会在本周为 zylo 开通权限，让新使命尽快上线。

我赞同 11 月 1 日上传、11 月 2 日至 4 日投票的安排。

Thanks, zylo, tomorrow works. Below is the final text of each, ready to paste. The wording is exactly what’s in #7 above and the first post of t/1109, in English only like AIP-18, with a link to the Chinese text. Only the Implementation section changed: it now says the upload is on 2 November and the vote opens 24 hours later and lasts 48 hours, so it stays right whatever time you upload.

For both: choices are For / Against / Abstain, and the discussion link is the forum link at the end of each text. Once they’re up I’ll update the dates in both forum posts to match Snapshot.

**AIP-21**  
Title: `AIP-21: Supporting statements for the mission`

AIP-18 made peace AssangeDAO's mission. This proposal adds a vision, a set of values, and a short test for whether a piece of work fits the mission, so that holders, signers and applicants read the mission the same way.

**2. Motivation**

A mission says what the DAO is for. It does not say how to judge a proposal or a request for funds when the case is unclear. Most DAOs publish a few supporting statements for this. AssangeDAO's earlier drafts of these (t/285) were never voted on.

**3. Proposal details**

*Vision*
A world in which truth reduces the power of lies to start wars, and no one who speaks for peace has to stand alone.

*Values*
- Neutrality: we neither support nor oppose any political party, government, or candidate.
- Solidarity: the worldwide network that helped win Julian Assange his freedom is our model.
- Truth as the method: we pursue peace by making facts public and checkable.
- Open coordination: cryptography and public process, not closed deals.
- Accountability: every treasury action is posted in full before it is signed, so any holder can check it, unless an AIP provides otherwise.
- Dignity: we don't use war or suffering to promote the DAO or the token.

*The mission test*
A proposal, project or grant fits the mission when the answer to all four questions is yes:
1. Does it help resolve conflict or build understanding, or support people who speak up for peace?
2. Does it respect the neutrality principle?
3. Can the people receiving support lawfully accept it?
4. Will they report back publicly on what was done?

These statements are published alongside the mission on the DAO's website. They can be amended by a later AIP. This vote authorizes no treasury spending.

**4. Voting options**
- For
- Against
- Abstain

(Approval voting is set for the whole space, so please tick only one option.)

**5. Implementation**

Discussed on the forum until 31 October 23:59 UTC. Uploaded to Snapshot on 2 November, together with AIP-22. The vote opens 24 hours after upload and lasts 48 hours. $JUSTICE-weighted.

**AIP-22**  
Title: `AIP-22: Perpetual Fund grants, paid in $JUSTICE`

```auto
**1. Summary**

AIP-20 staked 59.65 ETH and kept the rewards in the Perpetual Fund until holders chose a mission. Holders chose peace. This proposal sets how the rewards are spent: grants to work that fits the mission, decided by holders in one vote each quarter, and paid in $JUSTICE, with ETH as a limited exception. The principal is never spent.

**2. Motivation**

The rewards are small for now, about 1.3 ETH a year at the current rate (0.056 ETH in the first 15 days). They will grow as more of the treasury is put to work. A separate Snapshot vote for each grant would mean a quorum to reach every time for amounts this size. One vote per quarter, covering every application at once, keeps the decision with holders without wearing them out.

Paying grants in $JUSTICE means that most of every round is also a purchase of $JUSTICE, and that recipients become holders with a voice in the DAO that supported them. Some groups can't accept a token like $JUSTICE, so they can ask for ETH instead, up to a quarter of each round.

**3. Proposal details**

*Budget*
- The principal is the 59.649856 stETH staked under AIP-20. It is never spent.
- Each round's budget is the stETH value of the wstETH in the Safe, minus the 59.649856 stETH principal, minus any grants already approved but not yet paid. Grants are paid by selling that wstETH, so past payouts are already reflected in the balance. Anything unspent stays in the fund for the next round.
- If a later AIP stakes more of the treasury, or directs other income such as liquidity-position fees to the Perpetual Fund, those returns join this budget under the same rules.

*Who can apply*
- Anyone, for work that passes the mission test in AIP-21.
- No grants to political parties, campaigns, candidates, or governments.
- Signers, Consensus Unit members and their close associates may apply, but must say so in the application, and a signer does not sign a payment to themselves.

*Quarterly rounds*
- Applications are posted on the forum. Each says who will receive the grant, what it is for, the amount in ETH, the receiving Ethereum address, and how the work will be reported. An application that asks to be paid in ETH rather than $JUSTICE says so, and why.
- Applications close at 23:59 UTC on the last day of February, May, August and November. The vote opens at 00:00 UTC on the 7th of the following month, leaving at least 6 days of discussion.
- All of a round's applications go into one Snapshot vote with approval voting, plus a "None of these" option for holders who want to take part without backing anything. Holders tick every application they support. A round can hold up to 19 applications, the most Snapshot allows alongside "None of these".
- An application is funded only if its support is more than half of the voting power cast in the round. Snapshot counts each wallet once in that total, so anyone can check it on the results page. Funded applications are paid in order of support until the budget is used up.
- If a round doesn't reach quorum, nothing is approved and the budget carries forward.
- No single grant may take more than half of a round's budget.
- So votes are held in March, June, September and December. For the first round, applications open when this proposal passes and close at 23:59 UTC on 30 November 2026, and the vote opens at 00:00 UTC on 7 December.

*Urgent requests*
For something that has just happened and needs help now, a request can go to a vote of its own without waiting for the next round, if:
- the event happened within the last 30 days, and
- waiting for the next round would make the help much less useful, and
- it passes the mission test.
It is marked [Urgent] on the forum, discussed for at least 48 hours, then put to a For/Against vote. An urgent grant can be at most half of the budget available at that time, and what it uses comes out of the next round's budget. It follows the same payment rules, and if it is paid in ETH, it counts toward the next round's ETH limit.

*Payment*
- Grants are approved in ETH. After the vote, the signers sell the matching amount of wstETH for $JUSTICE through CoW Protocol, in equal parts over at least 3 days. The price is capped by the same two limits as AIP-20: no more than 115% of the 7-day volume-weighted average price, and no more than 4 times the treasury's ETH per $JUSTICE.
- This proposal authorises the Safe settings these purchases need, such as the fallback handler for CoW orders, for each round's purchase only. They are restored when the purchase ends.
- If a capped purchase doesn't fully fill, the unsold wstETH stays in the Safe. The grants it was for stay approved: recipients receive what was bought, and the rest is bought and paid with the next round's purchase.
- Each recipient receives $JUSTICE in proportion to their approved ETH amount, at the average price of the purchase.
- A recipient that can't accept $JUSTICE, for example an organisation whose rules only allow ETH, can ask in its application to be paid in ETH. Holders see this when they vote.
- Grants paid in ETH can take at most a quarter of a round's budget. If the ETH requests in a round go over that, those with the least support are offered $JUSTICE instead, or can apply again in the next round.
- Recipients without an Ethereum address can't be paid under this proposal yet. Reaching them would need a registered entity or partner, which is a matter for a later AIP.
- Before signing, the signers check each named recipient and receiving address against the sanctions lists that apply to them, and keep a record of the check.
- As AIP-15 requires, execution starts within 72 hours of the vote closing. Every transaction is posted on the forum before it is signed.

*Reporting*
- Recipients report on the forum within 90 days of payment: what was done and how the grant was used.
- A recipient who doesn't report can't apply in later rounds.

This proposal can be amended by a later AIP.

谢谢 zylo，明天上传没问题。下面是两份提案可直接粘贴的最终文本。措辞与上面 #7 和 t/1109 首帖完全一致，和 AIP-18 一样只放英文，末尾附中文全文的链接。唯一的改动是"实施"一节：改为 11 月 2 日上传、上传 24 小时后开始投票、持续 48 小时，这样无论几点上传都准确。

两份提案的选项都是 For / Against / Abstain（赞成 / 反对 / 弃权），讨论链接即各自文末的论坛链接。上传后，我会把两个论坛帖子里的日期改成与 Snapshot 一致。
