Atomic Proposals

Definition

Atomic proposals are governance submissions on a blockchain that either execute entirely or fail completely, without partial completion. This property ensures that all components of a proposal, such as code changes or parameter adjustments, are processed as a single, indivisible operation. Such proposals prevent inconsistent states by guaranteeing transactional integrity within decentralized autonomous organizations. This design is crucial for maintaining system stability and security in protocol upgrades.
