# Strategies

### 1. Proposal Threshold

The proposal threshold is the minimum number of tokens you need in your wallet to submit a proposal in a specific space.

In the example below, the threshold is set to `0`. This means anyone can create a proposal, even if they don't have any `VRTEX` tokens.

This section explains how voting power is calculated. You can use two different strategies for voting:

#### balance-of

This strategy returns the balances of the voters for a specific BC20 token or Collection.

#### quadratic-balance-of

This strategy takes the square root of your voting power  (token balance multiplied by voting weight).

### 2. Enter Wallet Address and Validate Contracts

In the pop-up window:

* Paste the **wallet address** you want to use to check voting power.
* Validate each **token contract** included in the strategy.

You can choose to:

* Check voting power at a **specific block height**, or
* Use the **latest block height**.
