+# Treasury Proposal Guidelines
+We are improving the ways that we reward all contributors in the Beefy community. We try to be as fair as possible and use the treasury in an effective manner.
+One of the mechanisms to reward dev work are treasury bounties. Bounties can be targeted to reward anything from a Github issue, a larger initiative, or even a developer.
+
+## When should you create a proposal?
+1. You are a dev and would like to help with a task but want or need a compensation to tackle it. 
+2. You are a dev who already did a task and would like some compensation for the effort.
+3. You are not a dev but feel like a task is particularly important and/or difficult.
+4. If you are a dev with some cred with Beefy, you can propose a regular reward for continued contributions. 
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Fill out a proposal
+Go to [vote.beefy.finance](https://vote.beefy.finance) and click on the big square that says "Beefy.Finance". Once you're in, click on the [New Proposal](https://vote.beefy.finance/#/beefy/create) button.
+
+#### A - Title
+Going with "Bounty of $<AMOUNT> for <ISSUE_TITLE>" is a good standard.
+
+#### B - Body
+
+You need to make clear why the community should spend those funds to help it grow or sustain itself.
+
+---
+
+Hi everyone,
+
+I'm requesting a bounty of $<AMOUNT> to reward the work of issue <ISSUE_URL>. 
+
+It's important for Beefy because...<BODY_OF_PROPOSAL>
+  
+Thanks!
+
+---
+
+
+#### Choices
+
+The basic choices to give are a Yes and a No.
+
+1. Yes
+2. No
+
+Feel free to add aditional options that might make the proposal more likely to pass, or to give you additional info. for example:
+
+1. Yes, full bounty 
+2. Yes, 70% of the funds
+3. No, too expensive
+4. No, not relevant 
+
+#### Selecting Dates 
+When deciding how much time to give the community to deliverate, it's important to take budget size into account.
+
+- +$10k --> at least 7 days
+- +$5k --> at least 4 days
+- $1k-$5k --> at least 2 days
+- Less then $1k can have 24h 
+
+Unless there's a particular reason, the starting date should be pretty close to when you're creating the proposal. There's no need to wait much before the voting begins.
+
+### 2. Engage the community
+You should go to our [Discord](https://discord.gg/yq8wfHd) and engage the community on why the proposal is important. 
+The #development channel is a good place to get the attention of other beefy devs. If you can post in #citadel, that's a great place to get the atention influential members of Beefy as well.
+
+### 3. Outcome
+If the proposal passed, you'll be contacted by a member of the team, or feel free to PM anyone with the team tag on discord to move forwards.
