How priorities are set
Public, weighted by SUDO holders + signal
Each quarter we publish a candidate list. SUDO holders vote on the top 12 items via on-chain SIPs; product weighs that signal alongside engineering capacity and security review.
1. Publish candidates
Engineering posts an unfiltered list of viable items.
2. Token-holder vote
1 SUDO = 1 vote. 7-day open snapshot vote.
3. Sequenced & shipped
Top items get scheduled. Status updated weekly in the room.
