Introduction

The Chromia EVM Governance Starter Kit is a developer-focused toolkit that simplifies the creation and deployment of decentralized governance systems on Postchain. It empowers communities to achieve efficient and transparent decision-making. This kit includes the Governance library, which you can use to demonstrate and simulate essential governance functionalities such as voting mechanisms, proposal management, and decision-making workflows within decentralized systems.

In contrast with the Chromia EVM governance Dapp—a complete implementation ready for immediate deployment—the starter kit serves as a modular library. This design allows developers to integrate the kit into their applications, offering flexibility and speeding up the prototyping process while maintaining compatibility with the core governance system.

Key differences

• Chromia EVM governance dapp: A comprehensive implementation that you can deploy as-is.
• Governance Starter Kit: A lightweight library derived from the original project, enabling developers to build on essential governance functionalities without starting from scratch.

For example, if you want to create a custom voting system for your DAO, you can use the Governance Starter Kit to avoid re-implementing standard governance functionalities such as proposal creation, voting mechanisms, and result tallying. This approach saves development time and allows developers to extend or modify default behaviors (e.g., adding custom rules for voting eligibility) to suit specific use cases. Because the Governance Starter Kit is directly derived from the original governance project, any changes or updates to the main project will seamlessly propagate. You can easily update the library to ensure compatibility with the latest governance standards.
