Introduction

The starter kit of the Governance Tool for EVM 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 Tool 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 Governance Tool for EVM—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

• The Governance Tool: A comprehensive implementation that you can deploy as-is.
• The Starter Kit of the Governance Tool: 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 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 starter kit is directly derived from the Governance Tool for EVM 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.
