The current governance action deposit of 100,000 ADA creates an unnecessary constraint for developers, governance tooling teams, DReps, SPOs, and community members who wish to submit and test multiple governance actions.\n\nAlthough PreProd ADA has no direct monetary value, obtaining and managing sufficient balances to support repeated governance testing can still become a practical bottleneck. This limitation reduces the ability of the ecosystem to thoroughly test governance workflows, user interfaces, edge cases, and governance infrastructure.\n\nReducing the deposit requirement to 10,000 ADA would significantly improve accessibility while preserving the intended mechanism of requiring participants to commit funds when submitting governance actions.","rationale":"A deposit of 10,000 ADA remains sufficiently large to discourage accidental or excessive spam submissions on PreProd, while making governance experimentation more accessible.\n\nBenefits include:\n\n* Lower entry barriers for governance testing.\n* Increased participation from developers and governance tool builders.\n* Improved ability to test multiple governance actions simultaneously.\n* More comprehensive validation of governance workflows before Mainnet deployment.\n* Better support for education, demonstrations, workshops, and governance-related hackathons.\n\nSince PreProd is a testing environment, prioritizing accessibility and experimentation provides greater value than maintaining a deposit level designed primarily for production network conditions.\n\nProposed Change\n\nParameter:\n```\ngovActionDeposit\n```\n\nCurrent value:\n100,000,000,000 lovelace (100,000 ADA)\n\nProposed value:\n10,000,000,000 lovelace (10,000 ADA)\n\nExpected Outcome:\n\nThe proposed change will make governance testing more practical and inclusive on PreProd, enabling the community to submit and evaluate a larger number of governance actions while continuing to maintain reasonable protection against spam.\nThis proposal affects PreProd only and does not impact Mainnet governance security or economic assumptions."},"authors":[]}
