📣 As we recently announced, July is a [voting month for Etherlink](https://medium.com/@etherlink/its-voting-month-for-etherlink-two-governance-votes-coming-in-july-2025-301ae7bcd29f) and the time has come for Tezos bakers to participate in the first of the two planned Etherlink governance votes: the **Etherlink 4.1 (Dionysus Revision 1)** kernel upgrade proposal.
🤝 Your vote today powers Etherlink’s and Tezos’s tomorrow!
#### Important Dates
- **Proposal period:** slow governance period 14, spanning between L1 level [#9,473,089](https://tzkt.io/9473089) (current ETA is 6 July 2025 12:04 UTC) and L1 level [#9,523,488](https://tzkt.io/9523488) (11 July 2025 04:04 UTC).
- **Promotion period:** slow governance period 15, spanning between L1 level [#9,523,489](https://tzkt.io/9523489) (current ETA is 11 July 2025 04:04 UTC) and L1 level [#9,573,888](https://tzkt.io/9573888) (11 July 2025 20:04 UTC).
#### Key proposed changes in Etherlink 4.1 (Dionysus Revision 1)
- **Governance v2:** Etherlink 4.1 introduces the first major update of its governance mechanism, improving UX for participating bakers. Notably, the new mechanism will allow bakers to designate alternative voting keys for the L1 governance contracts — in addition to their manager (baking) key, which will always be available for voting.
- **Updating Gas Targets:** Dionysus Revision 1 allows Etherlink to function at a higher capacity while preserving lower transaction fees. This is achieved by raising the gas target, the limit after which the gas pricing mechanism kicks in to constrain excessive usage, from 2MGas/s to 4MGas/s.
- **Removing Maximum Gas Limit Prevalidation** : Etherlink will now execute transactions requesting more than 30Mgas of execution within the limits of the system, to accommodate with third-party tools systematically over-approximating the gas limit of transactions.

#### **How to vote**
Participating in [Etherlink’s governance](https://docs.etherlink.com/governance/how-do-i-participate-in-governance) is quite simple. Bakers can submit their vote with the Octez CLI, or interact with the governance contracts using Better call dev — it only takes a few clicks!
##### Using Octez client
To upvote **Dionysus Revision 1** in the Proposal period vote, you can use the following Octez client command:
```auto
octez-client transfer 0 from to KT1XdSAYGXrUDE1U5GNqUKKscLWrMhzyjNeh --entrypoint "upvote_proposal" --arg "0x0001010d789e7cccc25c785cf73a658574ed0995ef36b8416a46ab0ddc6b058b39" --burn-cap 0.2
```
If the proposal is selected for the Promotion period, you’d then use the following command to vote:
```auto
