Governance Initiatives

Since launch of the Synapse Protocol, a number of governance initiatives were put forward and voted on by the Synapse DAO.
Any SYN holder can put forward proposals, which will be voted on by the DAO, as long as he has over 50,000 SYN tokens. 
In order to be adopted by the Synapse DAO, a proposal needs to gather at least 50%+1 vote of the votes and reach the minimum quorum, which is currently fixed at 10,000,000 SYN tokens
​
SIP-01: Implement Admin Fee on AMM pools
Implement a 60% admin fee (protocol revenue) on the AMM pools
At launch, 100% of fees went to LPs but as pools became larger, an admin fee was proposed to to start building the protocol's treasury

SIP-03: Min Bridge Fee Adjustments
