# 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.
