# Proposing

To make the proposal in Governance, follow the steps below:

* Go to Fathom [DApp](https://demo.fathom.fi/#/dao/governance).
* Connect your Web3 wallet (such as [MetaMask](https://metamask.io/)) and make sure your network is set to the intended chain (i.e., [XDC](https://chainlist.org/chain/50)).

* You can add automation to a proposal by clicking on the "**Actionable Proposal**" switcher and filling in the details of the calls that should be made if the governance accepts the proposal.

* [If you don't have enough vFTHM you should stake your FTHM in Staking](/dao/user-guides/staking.md).
* Click "**Submit proposal**"
  * You may be required to approve the vFTHM transfer before the actual transfer (depending on your previous deposits).
  * Sign and send the transaction in your Wallet.
  * Wait for the transaction to be processed.
  * Once the transaction has gone through, you'll see your proposal in "**All Proposals"** on the same page.
* Now, the proposal is the subject of the voting process. If the governance accepts it - it can be executed.
