Public petition
Anyone can create the question and proposed outcomes. A petition created during cycle C permanently snapshots a second quota of C.
SWAGBALL GOVERNANCE
Global discovery.
Network-local decisions.
Anyone can create a petition. ParticipationVoucher holders decide whether it deserves a binding vote. Governance activity is executed and archived on the network where those ParticipationVouchers exist.
PETITION → SECOND → MOTION → VOTE
Qualification and decision are intentionally separate.
Reaching the second quota does not approve a proposal. It only establishes that enough accumulated participation weight believes the question deserves a vote.
Voucher-weighted seconds
One owned ParticipationVoucher equals one second. Seconding does not burn or lock the voucher.
Qualification
If the quota is reached, the petition becomes a motion. If not, it can expire after the minimum seven-day window, three cycle advances, or the 30-day hard stop.
Binding vote
Voting consumes ParticipationVouchers. One burned voucher equals one unit of ballot weight.
Ranked outcomes
With more than two outcomes, the same ballot weight transfers to the next ranked surviving preference when an option is eliminated.
No random ties
Historical round totals resolve ties when possible. An exact unresolved tie opens a fresh voucher-funded runoff instead of using randomness.
NETWORKS
Choose the governance system whose vouchers you hold.
Petitions, cycle-number quotas, seconds, burned votes, VoteReceiptNFTs, and MotionRecordNFTs are all network-local. SwagBall does not merge voting power across chains.

PARTICIPATIONVOUCHER LIFECYCLE
Participation can become influence, then history.
Governance continuously consumes old voting power instead of creating a permanent voting class from early participation.

REMEMBERLocked VoteReceiptNFT
The voter keeps a permanent record. The receipt itself carries zero governance weight.
PROJECT ARCHIVEEvery completed vote also mints one locked MotionRecordNFT to that network's project wallet.
The voter receipt answers “How did this wallet use its participation?” The motion record answers “What did this network decide?”
