strategy - strategies are mechanics for proposals that determine the voting power of users and how they are allowed to cast their votes. Each strategy has different voting power calculations and relies on different sources (tokens, cryptocurrencies, NFTs). Each realm has a predefined set of strategies allowed to use in the proposals.
tag - the proposal tag consists of up to 4 characters. Tags make it easier to find proposals in the list as well as categorize and organize them.
snapshot - it’s the height of the block in the blockchain that was used to check account balance.
acceptable chains - as influence is a multichain platform, those checkboxes allow user to decide which chains should or shouldn’t be considered within the proposal. Some of the strategies sums up user balance within all chains, so those checkboxes help control it.
winnerbox - it’s a field that appears at the proposal’s end and contains the name of the choice (or choices) that has won.
viewing restriction - it’s an option that restricts the preview of voting results for those who didn’t meet the prerequisites (having a specific token or NFT in the wallet, determined by the strategy)
voting restrictions are handled per chain (for example one address/token ID could be restricted only on mainnet but not on other chains). You can either type ID number/wallet address directly into the field or paste CSV formatted array:
whitelist - a list of IDs numbers or wallet addresses (depending on strategy) that are eligible to cast a vote:
blacklist - a list of IDs numbers or wallet addresses (depending on strategy) that are ineligible to cast a vote:
