Proposal Contents (*the original text from the proposer)
This proposal raises the deposit required to open a governance proposal on Axelar mainnet:
min_deposit: 2,000 AXL -> 150,000 AXL expedited_min_deposit: 3,000 AXL -> 400,000 AXL
All other governance parameters (voting period, quorum, thresholds, deposit ratio) are unchanged. The increase raises the economic cost of opening a proposal to deter low-effort and spam proposals, while keeping the deposit accessible to serious proposers. Deposits are returned when a proposal passes, or fails without being vetoed.
