How to Vote on a Proposal

Voting allows you to evaluate proposals and help decide how AROGYA incentives are distributed.

Step 1: Navigate to Voting Page

Go to:

Dashboard → Vote on Proposal

This is where you can submit your vote.

Step 2: What You Need Before Voting

To vote, you must have:

• A Proposal ID (the proposal you want to vote on)
• A Conviction ID (your locked stake used for voting)
• An active conviction (not expired)
• The proposal must still be within its active voting period

You cannot vote once the voting window has closed.

Step 3: Submit Your Vote

When voting, you will:

1. Enter the Proposal ID
2. Select your Conviction ID
3. Choose a score between 0–10
4. Submit your vote

Your voting power depends on your conviction level (lock duration).

Step 4: Voting Rules

• You can vote only once per proposal using a conviction.
• You cannot use the same conviction to vote twice on the same proposal.
• Higher conviction = stronger voting weight.

Step 5: Vote Fairly and Responsibly

Always evaluate proposals carefully before voting.

Consider whether:

• The work is genuine and clearly documented
• The contribution benefits the ecosystem
• The effort matches the requested incentives
• Evidence and progress are verifiable

Step 6: Types of Contributions to Evaluate

Proposals may fall into different categories, such as:

• Research & Academia — scientific studies, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, data analysis, technical papers, and research replication
• Education & Knowledge Sharing — tutorials, educational guides, courses, workshops, explainers, and evidence-based health information
• Health & Wellness Innovation — development of new tools, technologies, protocols, interventions, or approaches that could improve health and wellbeing
• Public Health — disease prevention, health promotion, community health initiatives, screening programs, and population-level interventions
• Mental Health & Wellbeing — research, education, interventions, peer support, and resources related to psychological wellbeing and mental health
• Nutrition & Lifestyle — evidence-based work on nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, healthy lifestyles, and preventive health
• Traditional & Complementary Health — rigorous research and documentation of traditional, complementary, and alternative health practices, particularly where evidence and safety can be evaluated
• Community Health & Outreach — initiatives that improve access to health information, resources, services, or support within communities
• Open Science & Data — open datasets, research infrastructure, reproducible research, open-source tools, and resources that enable further health research
• Peer Review & Scientific Criticism — reviewing research, identifying methodological problems, reproducing findings, and improving the quality of published work
• Health Communication — translating scientific evidence into accessible content for researchers, practitioners, patients, and the general public
• Collaboration & Research Networks — projects that connect researchers, practitioners, educators, and communities to conduct or support health and wellness research
• Policy & Evidence-Based Advocacy — research and analysis that can inform health policies, public programs, and institutional decision-making
• Practical Community Impact — measurable initiatives that apply existing evidence to improve health outcomes or wellbeing in real-world communities

Each category may require different evaluation standards.

Remember that if the conviction-weighted mean score is between +1 and +5, the proposal will receive incentives.

Important Tips

• Vote honestly and based on quality.
• Avoid bias or personal influence.
• Responsible voting strengthens the ecosystem.
