# Text Proposal

## Text Proposal

Text proposals are used by delegators to agree to a certain strategy, plan, commitment, future upgrade, or any other statement in the form of text. Aside from having a record of the proposal outcome on the BET  Chain, a text proposal has no direct effect on the change BET Chain.

Selecting `text` for `proposal type` after executing the `draft-proposal` command will request the following parameters:

* **Proposal title:** the distinguishing name of the proposal, typically the way the that explorers list proposals.
* **Proposal author(s):** the person(s) making the proposal.
* **Proposal summary:** a high level, brief overview of the proposal.
* **Proposal details:** a detailed, expansive explanation of the proposal.
* **Proposal forum url:** the web location which contains more detail and where people can engage in discussion regarding the proposal.
* **Proposal vote option context:** The option set of a proposal refers to the set of choices a participant can choose from when casting its vote. The initial option set includes the following options: `Yes`, `No`, `NoWithVeto`, `Abstain`. The`NoWithVeto` counts as `No` but also adds a `Veto` vote. `Abstain` option allows voters to signal that they do not intend to vote in favour or against the proposal but accept the result of the vote.
* **Proposal deposit:** the amount of AUM deposited in order for the proposal to be considered. The minimum amount required my BET  Chain is 100 OM. (100\_000\_000 uom).
