Support
The proposal flow starts in Support. Users can support a proposal once they verify they own shares in the target company. We gated this for credibility, adding real ownership weight behind momentum.
Verification can happen through brokerage connection or a dedicated Proof of Ownership upload page. To avoid aggressive early friction, users can postpone verification until Signatures, only completing it once a proposal has meaningful traction.
When the creator-defined support goal is reached, the proposal automatically advances to the next phase through async backend state transitions.
