xGov v2.0.0 goes live on Algorand mainnet with sliding-scale quorums and a uniform two-week voting period
The xGov engine on Algorand mainnet was upgraded to version 2.0.0, which unpauses proposal submissions and introduces a sliding scale for voting quorums. The update also raises both the minimum and maximum proposal caps and sets the voting period at two weeks for all proposal sizes.
The sliding-scale quorum replaces a single fixed threshold, meaning the number of votes needed to pass a proposal now varies with proposal size. The two-week voting period applies uniformly rather than scaling by proposal type.
