# TIP-108: Reduce Governor Bravo Voting Period from 9 Days to 7 Days ## tl;dr Reduce the Threshold Governor Bravo **Voting Period** from **9 days** to **7 days** by updating the `votingPeriod` from **66,461 blocks → 50,000 blocks**. ## Background Threshold DAO governance uses Governor Bravo, which defines voting delay, voting period, quorum, and execution rules. The current voting period is **9 days**, as confirmed on-chain via `votingPeriod() = 66461` blocks. A 9-day voting duration slows governance execution and extends proposal cycles unnecessarily. Moving to a **7-day period** improves DAO responsiveness while maintaining a widely recognized minimum timeframe for decentralized participation. ## Proposal This proposal updates the Governor Bravo voting period as follows: * **Old value:** 66,461 blocks (~9 days) * **New value:** **50,000 blocks** (~7 days) This change: * Reduces the total governance cycle by two days * Maintains broad accessibility for voters * Aligns Threshold more closely with standard DAO governance timing * Requires no new contracts or permissions ## Transaction The Governor Bravo contract will execute a single administrative call: 1. **Update Voting Period** * Contract: Governor Bravo (`0xd101f2b25bcbf992bdf55db67c104fe7646f5447`) * Method: `setVotingPeriod(uint256 newVotingPeriod)` * New value: `50000` ## Notes * This proposal modifies **only** the voting period; all other governance parameters remain unchanged. * The 7-day duration preserves decentralization while enabling more agile DAO decision-making.
