# Governor

> Developer overview of Kleros Governor V2, covering the on-chain KlerosGovernor contract, proposal lifecycle, and dispute-triggered arbitration flow.

Governor V2 is a V2 product. This page documents technical details only.

***

## What is Governor V2

* An on-chain governance contract (`KlerosGovernor`) for executing community decisions
* Proposals go through a submission period, then are resolved via Kleros Court if disputed
* Supports transaction simulations via Tenderly before submission

***

## Architecture

* A pre-seeded dummy entry at `submissions[0]` reserves listID 0 for the "Refuse to Arbitrate" slot in the dispute template
* Built against the v2 contracts package `^2.0.0-rc.2`, using the 3-parameter `DisputeRequest` signature
* A full Foundry test suite covers KlerosGovernor end-to-end: 1,820 lines of test code across 15 files
* Tenderly simulations run for transaction proposals before submission
* Contracts and templates are deployed and verified, and the Governor contract lives in its own repository
