## Introduction

The Protocol Governance of Single Finance covers governance mechanisms, business direction, product development and financial incentives, aiming to share a vision of alignment between various stakeholders within the Single Finance ecosystem.

The establishment of whole governance consists of 3 phases:

* Phase 1 - Protocol stakeholders can vote on the direction of business & product development of Single Finance & AutoSingle
* Phase 2 - Significant veSINGLE holders can initiate an improvement proposal on different aspects including product features upgrade, parameter optimization, protocol enhancement, etc.
* Phase 3 - On top of Phase 1 & 3, a debating forum will be set up, in depth discussion and temperature check are required before formal on-chain voting

## Voting Mechanism

In order to vote, you need to have claimed veSINGLE tokens. ([Guides](https://app.gitbook.com/o/aPCK7mWZm4Kdx9ybSxYS/s/92xVkf5NcTn8j4qxYqJa/~/changes/227/tokenomics/vesingle-token/step-by-step-guide#claim-vesingle) to acquire veSINGLE)

One claimed veSINGLE will be considered as one voting power.

The different voting options can allow the users to: 

* Choose only one option (Single-choice Voting)
* Spread the votes over multiple options   (Weighted Voting)
* Approve a certain number of options (Approval Voting)
