Governance in Spectra's Hedge Fund

How it works?

Spectra’s on-chain governance turns every eight-hour burst of market news into a single focused question—“BTC just touched $94 k; maintain a long bias?”—and lets only stakers who have converted $SPEC into xSPEC answer with weighted Yes or No votes during a 24-hour window.
Each successful proposal is immutably recorded and fed straight into Spectra’s trading logic, giving the community real-time influence over the fund’s directional bias, position sizing, and even which assets the vault rotates into or out of.
Because voting power is tied to staked capital, every vote reflects genuine skin in the game, and the staking community’s collective intelligence compounds over time to sharpen Spectra’s judgment of the markets.

Proposal Lifecycle

Phase

Timing

What Happens

Proposal Creation

Every 8 hours

Spectra detects market-moving events and auto-generates a question (e.g., “BTC touched $94 k — maintain a long bias?”).

Voting Window

24 hours

Holders cast Yes / No with their delegated xSPEC. Votes are signed on-chain; the weight of your vote is proportional to your staking pool ownership.

Voting Result

At the end of voting window

Proposal succeeds if it meets the quorum threshold and the majority says "Yes". If the majority says "No", or if the quorum isn't met, the proposal is defeated.

Quorum Quorum = 4 % of total xSPEC supply at the end of the voting window.

How to vote

Stake $SPEC → receive xSPEC Go to Syntax ▸ Staking & Rewards to stake your $SPEC and receive xSPEC.
Delegate your voting power Right after staking (or any time before you cast a vote) delegate your xSPEC to your own address— you'll see a pop-up to confirm the transaction.
Vote on future proposals Once delegation is set, every proposal created after that point appears in your dashboard with Yes / No buttons. The weight of each vote equals your share of the total xSPEC supply at the snapshot block, so the more $SPEC you have staked at voting time, the greater your influence.
