# Xai Governance Voting Guide

{% hint style="info" %}
Vote for Xai ecosystem proposals at <https://gov.xai.games>
{% endhint %}

## Overview

{% hint style="warning" %}
A Delegate Statement **must** be created **before** the voting period commences for your voting power to count towards a proposal outcome
{% endhint %}

Participating in Xai Governance is easy. You can participate directly by voting on proposals, or by delegating your voting power to others. Below is a step by step of how to get setup and participate. You will need to do the following:

* [Connect your wallet](#connect-your-wallet-to-gov.xai.games)
* [Create a delegate statement](#optional-setup-a-delegate-profile)
* [Acquire voting power](#delegate-voting-power-to-yourself) (XAI, esXAI or staked esXAI in your wallet) and delegate to yourself
* Alternatively, you can [delegate your voting power to a Delegate](#delegate-voting-power-to-someone-else)
* A small amount of ArbETH for governance txns (delegating voting power, voting on proposals)

## Setup your voting account

{% hint style="info" %}
You will need to connect each wallet that holds XAI or esXAI for that voting power to be used in proposals. You can delegate each wallet to a single Delegate to make it easier to vote on various proposals if your XAI and esXAI holdings are spread across multiple wallets.
{% endhint %}
