# Glue Congress

[$GLUE](/gluebook/glue-token) holders get to name the horses. That is Glue Congress.

## How it works

- A naming **round** opens, targeting an upcoming race.
- Holders **propose** names and **vote** on them.
- Voting power is your $GLUE balance: **1 vote per 1,000 $GLUE**, capped so no single wallet dominates.
- To **propose** a new name you need a larger bag (a holding threshold), so proposals come from people with skin in the game.
- When the round locks, the **top two names** are **injected** into that future race's field, so two of the five horses carry community names.

## Voting power

Your voting power is **floor(your $GLUE balance / 1,000), capped at 1,000**. In plain terms: **1 vote for every 1,000 $GLUE you hold, up to a maximum of 1,000 votes**. Hold 1,000 $GLUE and you have 1 vote, hold 100,000 and you have 100, hold 1,000,000 or more and you sit at the 1,000 cap.

It is read from your real on chain balance the moment you vote, so it is always your current bag. A name's total is the **sum of its voters' power**, which is why the tallies are not round numbers: a name backed by a 100,000 holder and a 2,000 holder shows 102, not 2.

So it is **token weighted, not one wallet one vote**. A bigger bag means more say, but the 1,000 cap stops any single wallet from running the whole vote alone.

## Free to vote

Votes are **message signed**, not on chain transactions. That means voting costs **no gas**. You sign a message with your wallet to prove your balance and your choice. One vote per wallet per round.

## Why it matters

It is your stamp on the lore. The horses that race carry names the community chose. Open rounds show up on the [Congress page](/congress). When a round is open, go propose and vote.
