Anyone with a stake can submit a proposal for others to view. This deposit stage lasts a maximum of two weeks and must reach the minimum of 50.000 BCNA coins within this time to pass to the next stage. If this amount is not met within the time frame, there is no risk to validators or delegators who have placed a deposit, as their BCNA coins are returned. Once the amount of 50.000 BCNA coins is met, the proposal will progress to the next stageβthe voting period.
