Voting Mechanics & Thresholds

How decisions are made through $OLTA-based governance, with safeguards and optional fund-specific granularity.

OLTA’s governance system is designed to balance transparency, resilience, and institutional-grade discipline. Protocol decisions are driven by holders of the $OLTA token, with structured voting mechanics and configurable thresholds.

---

Who Can Vote

• Governance Token: Only $OLTA is used for governance.

• Staking-Based Participation: Voting power is tied to staked $OLTA tokens.

• 1 token = 1 vote: Voting weight is proportional to the amount of $OLTA staked at snapshot.

• Delegation Supported: Token holders may delegate voting power to trusted addresses.

IRT-Specific Participation (Optional)

While IRTs are not used for governance, certain fund-specific proposals (e.g., reweighting or asset inclusion for a specific index) may require voters to:

• Hold an active position in the related IRT

• Pass a minimum threshold (e.g., 0.1% of fund supply) at the snapshot block

This ensures that only relevant participants can influence the structure of a given fund, while preserving global protocol governance under $OLTA.

Voting Thresholds & Safeguards

Parameter	Description
Quorum	Minimum % of total staked $OLTA required to validate a vote (e.g., 5%)
Approval Threshold	% of "Yes" votes needed to pass a proposal (e.g., 60%)
Timelock Delay	Time delay before execution after approval (e.g., 48h)
Delegation Model	Enabled; voters can assign rights to delegates
Emergency Override	Reserved for predefined system-critical changes (if activated by governance)

Voting Access

• All proposals are published on the OLTA Governance Dashboard

• Each proposal includes scope, parameters, and execution impact

• Voting history and quorum progression are transparent and onchain

OLTA governance focuses on clarity, protection against manipulation, and modularity ensuring protocol upgrades reflect real stakeholder alignment.
