FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


 * 01. WHAT IS GOVERNANCE?
   
   
   
   Governance is a decentralized program which allows Algo holders to vote on
   the future of Algorand. Committing Algos to governance for a three-month
   period allows you to vote on measures proposed by the Foundation and earn
   rewards for doing so. Governance replaces the former participation system
   where rewards were automatically added to your Algo wallet.


 * 02. WHY SHOULD I PARTICIPATE?
   
   
   
   As an Algo holder, your voice is important. Voting on the future of the
   protocol ensures the Algorand decision making process stays decentralized and
   that your voice is heard. Governance is also the best way to earn rewards for
   holding Algo, with APY % of 10.02% - 14.05% seen in previous periods.


 * 03. HOW DOES IT WORK?
   
   
   
   Governance works in cycles. Each cycle lasts three months and contains a sign
   up phase, a voting phase and a rewards phase. Governors who register and
   stake Algos for a three month period during the sign up phase will be
   entitled to vote on the voting measures put forward by the Foundation in the
   voting phase, and will then receive rewards in the rewards phase. You must
   both keep your balance above the committed Algo amount and vote to be
   eligible for rewards.


 * 04. HOW DO I PARTICIPATE?
   
   
   
   To participate in governance, you must sign up during the sign up phase. If
   the sign up phase is closed for the current period, you must wait for the
   next period's sign up phase to open.
