  2. Using Govtool

Getting started

To run GovTool, you need:

  • A Chromium Browser.

  • A Windows or Apple computer.

  • A compatible wallet. Please see the compatible wallet list.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Download a compatible wallet

  2. Create an account in your wallet. Please refer to the wallet's documentation to create an account.

  3. If you want to use the Preview network:

    1. Set your wallet's network to "Preview". This will be different for each wallet. Refer to the documentation of your wallet.

    2. Get some test ADA from the Cardano testnet faucet.

    3. Navigate to: https://preview.gov.tools/

  4. To use the MainNet version of GovTool, go to: https://gov.tools

  5. Connect your wallet to GovTool by using the "Connect" buttons on the interface.

  6. You now have several options:

    1. Browse on-chain Governance Actions.

    2. Vote on an action by becoming a dRep.

    3. 'Abstain' on every Governance Action by default.

    4. Vote "No" on every action by default.

    5. Become a dRep yourself, and gain voting rights.

    6. Become a Direct Voter and vote on Governance Actions with your own Voting Power

    7. Propose your own Governance Action

      1. Note: The Bootstrapping phase will support only the creation of 'Info' Actions.

      2. GovTool on SanchoNet currently supports 'Info' and 'Treasury' actions. Using SanchoNet will require you to change the network your wallet is connected to to "SanchoNet".
