Aquarius Governance is a decentralized system launched in November 2021 for AQUA token holders within the Stellar ecosystem to propose and vote on protocol changes. It features a 7-day discussion phase, fees for creation and publication that are burned for deflation, and a 10% quorum requirement. Successful proposals are executed by the Aquarius Signers Guild.
Aquarius, a decentralized liquidity protocol on Stellar, introduced Governance in November 2021 to empower AQUA holders to direct liquidity flows, DAO fund usage, and protocol modifications via proposals and voting. The process includes a mandatory 7-day discussion phase on Discord, followed by up to 30 days for editing and publication, with fees of 100,000 AQUA for creation/editing and 900,000 for publication, all burned to create deflation. Proposals require 10% quorum of circulating AQUA + ICE supply and over 50% 'for' votes to pass, rewarding creators 1.5 million AQUA. Voting locks AQUA via claimable balances until after the vote period, and the decentralized Signers Guild implements approved proposals. Users access it at gov.aqua.network using WalletConnect or Stellar Laboratory.
