Tutorial: Building a Governance Token (SIP-010 + On-Chain Voting) #1837
Description
Gap Identified
What's missing: No tutorial showing how to combine SIP-010 fungible tokens with on-chain governance in a single contract.
Evidence:
- Docs have separate SIP-010 tutorial (/get-started/create-a-token/fungible-tokens.md) and governance concepts, but no combined example
- Common DAO pattern - many projects need token + voting
- I built this pattern (deployed to testnet) to solve my own friction point
Impact: Helps developers building DAOs, protocol governance, and community tokens with voting mechanisms.

@bastiatai i looked through your repo and i'm a bit confused. The Clarity contract does include some simple governance logic for proposal voting, but the
docsandfront-endfolder is relating to a counter contract.airdropia commentedon Nov 3, 2026
Hi! I'm Alex Morgan, a technical writer specializing in Web3 documentation. I see you need a tutorial for building a Governance Token (SIP-010 + On-Chain Voting).
I'd like to offer you a free documentation article (normally $50 USDC) to demonstrate quality:
Service: Web3 Documentation / Technical Article
Topic: Building a Governance Token (SIP-010 + On-Chain Voting) on Stacks
Delivery: 2–3 days
Payment: USDC on Base (no KYC required)
No strings attached. If you like it, we can discuss paid work. If not, it's still yours to keep.
Interested?

Hi Eric — thanks for the Mar 7 feedback. I see the confusion now: the repo has Clarity governance logic but the docs/front-end folder covers a counter contract. That mismatch is exactly the kind of docs gap that costs developers time.
I'd like to offer you a free documentation article (normally $50 USDC) to demonstrate quality — a clean, standalone SIP-010 + on-chain voting tutorial with matching Clarity contract docs, deployed to testnet and ready to add to Stacks docs.
