Crust Network Integrates with SubSquare Governance Platform
We are excited to announce that Crust Network integrated SubSquare, a governance platform designed for Substrate-based blockchains!
A product of OpenSquare, SubSquare, scans and standardizes the blockchain governance data. With its rich features and better user experience, SubSquare empowers Crust Network members to be active in the network governance and helps them to:
- Discuss: Use the simple forum to discuss/come up issues, improvements and new ideas
- Track and voice opinions: Track ongoing proposals/referenda and voice opinions before and during voting
- Vote: Use the simple interface to cast a vote.
The detailed dashboard, rich editor and mobile-friendly features of SubSquare makes it easier for anyone to participate in the decision making at https://crust.subsquare.io/ and steer the development of Crust Network.
To check or vote in a referendum, make sure that you are registered or logged in to SubSquare and follow the steps below.
Important: You need to convince the community that your proposal is useful and deserves backing. Only proposals with sufficient backing from the community go to vote. For this, you need to upload a description on SubSquare and participate in the discussion.
1. Create an account
Subsquare requires an account. Make sure you’ve registered and logged-in:
2. Connect Polkadot/Kusama/Substrate account
Next, make sure you have a Web3 address (crust wallet) linked when you go to your in the Menu -> Settings.
On-Chain Proposal
Anyone can make a proposal if they have locked enough governance tokens. This involves 2 steps:
- Creating the on-chain proposal via crust apps
- Adding text/arguments/explanation to your proposal via the governance platform
Step 1: Submit Proposal via Crust apps
Governance can change the runtime code as well as all sorts of parameters. In the first step, decide and summarize what the proposal you are about to create.
Go to Governance -> Democracy -> Submit preimage and propose the change you desire.

Step 2: Add Proposal Text
Now it is time to add the text, explaining and arguing of your proposal.
1. Log into SubSquare
See above. Make sure you have connected your Substrate account!
2. Find and edit your proposal
Go to “Proposals” and select your proposal from the list.
If you connected the same Web3 account as the one you used to create the proposal, you will be able to add title and text.
Show Support for a Proposal
Once a proposal is created, governance participants are asked to support proposals. One proposal per week is promoted to a referendum.
1. Select a Proposal to Support
Go to Governance -> Democracy. If there are any ongoing proposal, you should see them listed on this page.
2. Second a Proposal
From the list of the proposal, click “Second” and in the opened module, click “Second” again to show support for the proposal.
3. Confirm
Once you signed the extrinsic in step 2, you should see your account being listed in a “Seconds” dropdown in the list of proposal.
Vote on Referenda
After a set number of blocks, the proposal with the highest backing staked governance tokens will be put up for a vote. Once a proposal is decided to be voted on, it is called a referendum.
