Proposal Contents (*the original text from the proposer)

Context

Proposal 998 passed in May 2025, reducing the Hub’s voting periods from 14 days standard / 7 days expedited to 7 days standard / 3 days expedited.

As part of this proposal, Hypha agreed to monitor the Hub’s governance progress and put up a proposal to revert this change (restoring the 14 day standard voting and 7 day expedited voting) if either of the following conditions were met:

  1. A different solution is deployed which allows for a 3 day emergency upgrades and 7 day planned upgrades, and 14 day non-upgrade governance OR
  2. More than 10% of “real” non-software proposals fail to meet quorum (e.g., not spam, not proposals where validators mindfully chose not to vote).

Conditions for reverting

  1. No alternative solution for 3 day emergency upgrades, 7 day planned upgrades, and 14 day non-upgrade governance has been developed.
  2. The following proposals have failed to meet quorum despite being legitimate proposals from known entities (i.e., not spam, not proposals that ignored governance norms, not proposals where Hypha, in our best judgment, feels validators chose not to reject via failure to meet quorum)

Proposal

  • Increase the Hub’s standard voting_period to 14 days for all proposal types.
  • Increase the Hub’s expedited_voting_period to 7 days for all proposal types.

Governance votes

The following items summarize the voting options and what it means for this proposal:

  • YES - You support increasing the Hub’s voting period to 14 days and expedited voting period to 7 days.
  • NO - You do not support increasing the Hub’s voting period to 14 days and expedited voting period to 7 days.
  • NO WITH VETO - A NoWithVeto vote indicates a proposal either (1) is deemed to be spam, i.e., irrelevant to Cosmos Hub, (2) disproportionately infringes on minority interests, or (3) violates or encourages violation of the rules of engagement as currently set out by Cosmos Hub governance. If the number of NoWithVeto votes is greater than a third of total votes, the proposal is rejected and the deposits are burned.
  • ABSTAIN - You wish to contribute to the quorum but you formally decline to vote either for or against the proposal.
