# Governor Voting Contract

An OpenZeppelin-based Governor contract for on-chain DAO governance with proposal creation and voting.

An OpenZeppelin-based Governor contract for on-chain DAO governance with proposal creation and voting.

## Explanation

Governor implements the standard DAO governance model: token holders create proposals, vote during a window, and queued executions pass through a timelock. votingDelay and votingPeriod define the governance timeline.
