Governance Guide

How to Vote on XKI Proposals

A step-by-step guide for token holders — no technical knowledge required.

⚠️ Never share your 24 words with anyone. No team member will ever ask for them. You'll need a computer with Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. This process is completely free.

1 Install Keplr Wallet

Keplr is a digital wallet that works as a browser extension — a small program that adds to Chrome. It's the standard wallet for Cosmos blockchains, including Ki Chain.

  1. Open Google Chrome on your computer
  2. Go to keplr.app/get
  3. Click "Chrome" (or Firefox / Edge)
  4. Click "Add to Chrome" then "Add extension"
  5. A small Keplr icon ("K") will appear in the top right corner of your browser ✅

2 Import Your Wallet

Now add your existing Ki Chain wallet using your 24-word recovery phrase.

  1. Click the Keplr icon ("K") in the top right corner
  2. Choose "Import an existing wallet"
  3. Select "Use recovery phrase or private key"
  4. Enter your 24 words in the exact order, one word per field
  5. Click "Next"
  6. Choose a name for your wallet and create a password — this password protects Keplr on your computer
  7. Click "Save"

⚠️ Do this in a quiet place, alone, with no one looking at your screen.

3 Connect to the Portal

  1. Go to claim.foundation.ki
  2. Click "Connect Keplr" in the top right corner
  3. Keplr will pop up — click "Approve"
  4. If asked to add "Ki Chain", click "Approve" again

✅ The button turns green with your address — you're connected!

4 Cast Your Vote

  1. Scroll down to the "Governance" section
  2. Click on the proposal you want to vote on
  3. Read the description carefully
  4. You'll see your Voting Power (= your XKI balance)
  5. Choose: Yes / No / Abstain
  6. Click "Sign & Submit Vote"
  7. Keplr pops up — click "Approve"

ℹ️ Signing ≠ Paying. It simply proves you own the wallet. No tokens are moved, no fees charged.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my tokens move if I vote?

No. Voting does not move your tokens.

Can I vote more than once?

No. One vote per address per proposal.

I don't see Ki Chain in Keplr?

The website will automatically offer to add it when you click "Connect Keplr".

Keplr asks for a password — which one?

The one you chose in Step 2 when importing your wallet. Not your 24 words.

I lost my 24 words — what can I do?

Without your 24 words, it is not possible to recover your wallet. There is no workaround — this is a fundamental principle of blockchain.

Can I vote from my phone?

Keplr exists as a mobile app (iOS / Android), but desktop is recommended for the best experience.
