    10  ## Abstract
    11  
    12  This paper specifies the Governance module of the Cosmos-SDK, which was first
    13  described in the [Cosmos Whitepaper](https://cosmos.network/about/whitepaper) in
    14  June 2016.
    15  
    16  The module enables Cosmos-SDK based blockchain to support an on-chain governance
    17  system. In this system, holders of the native staking token of the chain can vote
    18  on proposals on a 1 token 1 vote basis. Next is a list of features the module
    19  currently supports:
    20  
    21  - **Proposal submission:** Users can submit proposals with a deposit. Once the
    22  minimum deposit is reached, proposal enters voting period
    23  - **Vote:** Participants can vote on proposals that reached MinDeposit
    24  - **Inheritance and penalties:** Delegators inherit their validator's vote if
    25  they don't vote themselves.
    26  - **Claiming deposit:** Users that deposited on proposals can recover their
    27  deposits if the proposal was accepted OR if the proposal never entered voting period.
    28  
    29  This module will be used in the Cosmos Hub, the first Hub in the Cosmos network.
    30  Features that may be added in the future are described in [Future Improvements](05_future_improvements.md).

    32  ## Contents
    33  
    34  The following specification uses *ATOM* as the native staking token. The module
    35  can be adapted to any Proof-Of-Stake blockchain by replacing *ATOM* with the native
    36  staking token of the chain.
