# Nova for CAB Groups & Governance Participants {% hint style="success" %} **No dashboards, no bookmarks, no manual checking.** Just ask Nova in plain English and get instant answers. Set up alerts once and never miss a governance event again. {% endhint %} *** ### Quick Start 1. **Add Nova** to your Discord server or Telegram group (or DM the bot directly) 2. **Ask anything** — just mention @Nova or reply to its messages 3. **Set up alerts** — tell Nova what you want to be notified about 4. That's it. No accounts to create, no forms to fill out. *** ### SIP Monitoring #### Check Any SIP's Status > *"What's the status of SIP-032?"* *"Show me details on SIP-034"* *"Which SIPs are currently in activation?"* **Nova returns:** title, status, type (Meta/Consensus/Standard), consideration area, authors, abstract, GitHub PR link, and forum discussion link. #### Browse All SIPs > *"Show me all SIPs"* *"List SIPs grouped by status"* *"How many SIPs are there?"* **Nova returns:** full SIP registry with status breakdown — see at a glance how many are Draft, in Review, Ratified, etc. #### Governance Stats > *"Show me SIP governance stats"* **Nova returns:** total SIPs, open CAB voting instances, closed instances, number of CAB groups. *** ### CAB Voting #### Check Vote Status > *"Are there any open CAB votes?"* *"What's the CAB voting status on SIP-032?"* *"Show me the vote tally for SIP-034"* **Nova returns:** whether voting is open or closed, vote tallies (yes/no/abstain), total votes cast, and voting instance history. #### Track Voting Activity > *"Has any CAB vote closed recently?"* *"Which SIPs have had CAB voting?"* *** ### Alerts — Never Miss a Vote This is where Nova becomes indispensable for CAB members. Set up alerts once, and Nova will **proactively notify you** on Discord or Telegram when governance events happen. #### Alert: CAB Voting Opens > *"Alert me when CAB voting opens on any SIP"* You'll be notified the moment a new CAB vote is initiated — so you never miss your window to vote. #### Alert: CAB Voting Closes > *"Alert me when any CAB vote closes"* Get the final tallies (yes/no/abstain) delivered to you as soon as voting concludes. #### Alert: SIP Status Changes > *"Alert me when any SIP changes status"* Track the full lifecycle: Draft -> Review -> Accepted -> Activation-in-Progress -> Ratified. Know immediately when a proposal advances or is withdrawn. #### Alert: Specific SIP > *"Alert me about any activity on SIP-034"* Follow a single SIP you care about — status changes AND CAB voting activity. #### Alert: New SIPs > *"Notify me when new SIPs are proposed"* Be the first to know when a new improvement proposal enters the registry. #### Alert: Catch-All Governance > *"Alert me about all SIP governance activity"* One alert to rule them all — every status change, every CAB vote open/close, every new SIP. {% hint style="info" %} **How it works:** Nova checks for SIP and CAB changes every 2 hours. When your conditions match, you get a rich notification with all the details — SIP title, status change, vote tallies, and links to GitHub/forum. Alerts are delivered on the same platform where you set them up (Discord or Telegram). {% endhint %} \*\*\* ### Ecosystem Events #### Browse Events > *"What Stacks events are coming up?"* *"Show me virtual events"* *"Any in-person events this month?"* *"Search events about governance"* **Nova returns:** title, date/time, virtual vs in-person, location or meeting link, host, attendee count, token requirements, and on-chain attendance badges. #### Event Alerts > *"Alert me about new Stacks events"* *"Notify me when events are about to start"* *"Alert me about virtual events only"* Nova checks for new events every 30 minutes and notifies you about new listings, status changes, and events starting within the hour. *** ### Beyond Governance — Everything Else Nova Can Do As a Stacks ecosystem participant, you also get access to Nova's full toolkit: #### Market & Tokens > *"What's the STX price?"* *"Show me trending Stacks tokens"* *"Top gainers today"* *"WELSH token analytics"* #### Wallet & Addresses > *"Look up wallet SP3K8BC0..."* *"What tokens does this address hold?"* *"Show me recent transactions for this address"* #### Smart Contracts > *"Show me the source code for this contract"* *"What functions does SP123...contract-name have?"* *"Read a value from this contract"* #### Network Status > *"Current Stacks block height"* *"Network status"* *"Bitcoin fees right now"* #### News & Research > *"Latest Stacks development news"* *"Bitcoin ecosystem updates"* *"What's happening in ordinals?"* #### ZADAO Platform > *"Show me active bounties"* *"Any open gigs?"* *"Active quests"* *"Show grants"* *** ### Example: A CAB Member's Setup Here's what a typical CAB member might set up in a 2-minute conversation with Nova: **Step 1** — Set up governance alerts: > *"Hey Nova, alert me about all SIP governance activity"* Nova: *"I'll set up an alert for all SIP status changes and CAB voting events.
