This article explains one way to submit NNS motion proposals.
Background
To properly follow what is going on, there are a few high-level points worth highlighting:
Only Neurons can submit NNS proposals
Neurons with at least 1 ICP and 6 months of dissolve delay can submit NNS proposals. So the first step is to create such a neuron.
The NNS Governance Canister accepts motion proposals
The Governance Canister is just a canister like any other, so it has a Candid file, it accepts messages, etc... This article describes a way where you can have your local computer send a message to the governance canister (signed on behalf of a neuron) that contains a motion proposal.
One-time setup
Install dfx
1. Navigate to | smartcontracts.org 2. Install `dfx` via
$ sh -ci "$(curl -fsSL https://smartcontracts.org/install.sh)"
Create a neuron
1. Create a private/public keypair 2. Link this private/public keypair to `dfx` so you can use it as an "Identity." 3. Send 1.0001 ICP to the "account ID" represented by the public/private keypair (now called the "identity"). 4. Now that the account has the required ICP, spawn a neuron. 5. Increase neuron dissolve to at least 6 months
