A stakeholder in the Bisq network is any individual that holds BSQ tokens. Ownership of BSQ grants the holder the ability (and responsibility) to participate in the Bisq DAO's governance.
Stakeholders can come from various backgrounds – they may be active traders using the platform, contributors developing the software or providing support, or simply individuals who have acquired BSQ and wish to have a say in the project's direction.
What Can Stakeholders Do?
The primary function of a stakeholder is to participate in DAO governance through voting. Stakeholders use their BSQ voting weight to decide on various types of Proposals:
- Compensation Requests: Approving payments (in newly issued BSQ) to contributors for work completed.
- Reimbursement Requests: Approving reimbursements (in BSQ) for specific expenses incurred by contributors.
- Parameter Change Proposals: Voting on changes to network or trading parameters (e.g., trading fees, security deposit settings).
- Role Proposals: Approving contributors for specific bonded roles.
- Confiscation Proposals: Voting on whether to confiscate a bonded role holder's BSQ bond due to misconduct.
- Generic Proposals: Voting on broader strategic decisions or other matters affecting the Bisq project.
Details on the mechanics of voting, including casting votes, stake weight, and the different phases of a voting cycle, can be found on the Participating in a DAO voting cycle page. Note that certain actions, like submitting proposals or casting votes, may require paying small fees in BSQ.
Why Participate?
Active stakeholder participation is vital for the health and decentralization of the Bisq network:
- Guides Development: Voting on compensation requests directly funds the work contributors do, influencing what gets built and maintained.
- Sets Strategy: Voting on parameter changes and generic proposals shapes the rules, economics, and future direction of the platform.
- Ensures Decentralization: Wide participation prevents governance power from concentrating in too few hands, upholding Bisq's core principles.
By voting, stakeholders collectively steer the Bisq project according to the community's consensus.
