DAO Participation with LCAI Ballots

LCAI Ballots is the official way to participate in LightChain DAO governance. By wrapping LCAI into LCAIB and delegating it, you become eligible for snapshot-based voting and proposal participation under the Governor system. The process is non-custodial and you can unwrap LCAIB back to LCAI anytime.

How It Works

From wallet connection to unwrapping your LCAI.

Icon

Connect your wallet

Connect the wallet you’ll use. This flow is non-custodial, you always stay in control.

Icon

Wrap/Deposit

Deposit LCAI to mint LCAIB. Wrapping is required because LCAI doesn’t implement IVotes, which Governor needs.

Icon

Delegate

Delegate LCAIB to activate participation. You must wrap + delegate before voting starts, since eligibility is based on the snapshot at vote start.

Icon

Propose

To propose, wrap exactly 140,000 LCAI into LCAIB and submit the proposal. Voting starts 24 hours later to give everyone time to prepare.

Icon

Unwrap/Withdraw

Redeem LCAIB → LCAI anytime. You can unwrap right after proposing (optional) or after voting (optional).

Frequently Asked Questions

Get quick answers to the most common LCAI Ballots concerns.

LCAIB is the wrapped governance token used by the LightChain DAO (the guide calls it “LCAI-Ballots”). Wrapping is required because the OpenZeppelin Governor system uses secure voting features like snapshot voting and delegation. Snapshot voting locks in voting power at the start of a proposal, preventing tokens from being moved around during an active vote to influence results. LCAI-Ballots is used to ensure governance works smoothly and meets these security standards.
