# Governance Proposals & Decisions

We aim to foster a transparent and inclusive decision-making environment, ensuring that every member of the community has the opportunity and the necessary tools to contribute effectively.

Governance proposals are a vital mechanism that enables validators to voice their opinions and directly influence the network's development and operational decisions.

## List of major proposals

Here you will find current and past major governance proposals, for validators to vote on (from latest to oldest):

## List of governance decisions

All year long, [Chiliz Chain validators](https://governance.chilizchain.com/staking) are asked to vote for governance proposals that have an impact on the whole ecosystem. Those proposals are public: anyone can see the whole list the [Chiliz Chain Governance dApp](https://governance.chilizchain.com/governance).
