# Lifecycle & Statuses

Each governance proposal in Zunami goes through a defined lifecycle, with clearly trackable states managed by the `Governor` contract. These statuses reflect where the proposal currently stands in the process:

* **🟢 `Active`**

  Voting is currently open. vlZUN holders can vote **For** or **Against** during this stage.
* **🔴 `Canceled`**

  The proposal was canceled before it could be executed — usually because the proposer lost sufficient voting power or manually withdrew it.
* **🔘 `Defeated`**

  The proposal did not receive enough support (votes For < quorum or less than Against) and will not be executed.
* **✅ `Succeeded`**

  The proposal passed the vote (enough quorum and more For than Against). It is eligible to be queued for execution (if a timelock is used) or executed directly.
* **⏳ `Queued`**&#x20;

  The proposal was scheduled for execution and is waiting for the delay (`timelockDelay`) to pass.
* 🔏 **`Executed`**

  The proposal was successfully executed. The actions described in the proposal have been applied on-chain.
* **🧯 `Expired`**

  The proposal was queued, but the allowed time to execute it has passed without execution. It can no longer be executed.
