Voters continuously express their preference by staking tokens in favor of proposals they would like to see approved, with the conviction (i.e. weight) of their vote growing over time. Collective conviction accumulates until it reaches a set threshold specified by a proposal according to the amount of funds requested, at which point it passes and funds are released so work may begin. Conviction voting improves on discrete voting processes by allowing participants to vote at any time, and eliminates the need for consensus on each proposal. This eliminates the governance bottleneck of large distributed communities, where a quorum of participants is required to vote on every proposal. +[Conviction Voting](https://medium.com/commonsstack/conviction-voting-a-novel-continuous-decision-making-alternative-to-governance-62e215ad2b3d) is a novel decision making process used to estimate real-time collective preference in a distributed work proposal system.
