# How to create an on-chain proposal

Governance > Idle DAO > Guides > How to create an on-chain proposal

To create an on-chain proposal, community members need to use an Ethereum wallet.

### **Connect your wallet and visit the Governance dashboard**

Visit the [Governance dashboard](https://idle.finance/#/governance) on the Idle website. Then connect your wallet in the left part of the header, choose “Ethereum Wallet” and select your wallet type.

If you hold enough voting rights and have connected your wallet, you can click on the “Proposals” category. Here you see the button “New Proposal” in the upper right corner of the page.

### **Create a new Proposal**

For the actual on-chain proposal, you would need to follow the following structure

Actions are functions/methods call to Idle-related smart contracts. Each proposal is required to have at least one Action. Up to 10 Actions can be implemented in a single proposal. You can select the contract and the functions, that may require entering additional inputs.

After filling the list of Actions, click on “Submit Proposal”

After one block (Pending State), the proposal will be activated and IDLE token holders can vote**.**

{% hint style="warning" %}
At any stage, the proposal can be cancelled only by its creator.

If the proposer goes below the 130,000 delegated IDLE threshold at any steps before the execution of the proposal, anyone can delete it.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.idle.finance/governance/idle-dao/governance-guides/how-to-create-an-on-chain-proposal.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
