# Change Proposal Process

For changes at Layer 2 and significant changes at Layer 3, Unich Network applies a four-step process:

1. **Public proposal** — the change is submitted openly for community review.
2. **Public review period** — minimum 14 days for minor changes, 30 days for major changes.
3. **Layer 1 consistency check** — any proposal that conflicts with Layer 1 is rejected, independent of votes or level of support.
4. **Implementation or rejection** — the outcome is announced publicly with documented reasoning, regardless of the result.
