Steps to create a proposal

1. Define a proposal:
   • Use the following template:

   script {
       use aptos_framework::aptos_governance;
   
       fun main(proposal_id: u64) {
     	    let framework_signer = aptos_governance::resolve(proposal_id, @1);
     			...
     	}
   }
   

   • Upgrade the framework, the account must match where the package is intended to be published. This will create a proposal in stdlib.move:

   cargo run -p -- governance generate-upgrade-proposal --account 0x1 --output stdlib.move \
       --package-dir aptos-move/framework/move-stdlib/
   

   • Upgrade the gas configuration, this will create a proposal in gas/sources/update_gas_schedule.move:

   cargo run -p aptos-gas -- --output gas
   

2. Upload the proposal to this GitHub repository:
   • Add the metadata to the metadata folder.
   • Add the move file to the sources folder.
   • Please ensure consistent and accurate naming for both files.
3. To create a proposal on-chain, in the aptos-core repo, run

cargo run -p aptos -- governance propose --metadata-url <url-to-metadata-file.json> \
   --pool-address $pool_address --script-path /path/to/proposal.move \
   --framework-local-dir /path/to/aptos-core/aptos-move/framework/aptos-framework/ \
   --profile mainnet-voter

4. To vote on a proposer, use the UI at https://governance.aptosfoundation.org/ or run cargo run -p aptos -- governance vote --proposal-id <proposal-id> --pool-addresses $pool_address_1,$pool_address_2 --yes/no
5. To execute a proposal that has passed, in the aptos-core repo, run

cargo run -p aptos -- governance execute-proposal --proposal-id <proposal-id> \
   --script-path path/to/proposal.move --max-gas 500000 \
   --framework-local-dir /path/to/aptos-core/aptos-move/framework/aptos-framework/
