+## Abstract
+
+This proposal defines a **generic, standardized metadata structure** for creating and responding to on-chain surveys and polls. It uses the **CIP-0068** metadata standard (via the **674** label) to allow any entity to publish a survey in a machine-readable format without requiring governance deposits or formal registration.  
+
+The specification provides a minimal, interoperable format for survey definition and response — enabling wallets, explorers, and dApps across the Cardano ecosystem to reliably create, display, and aggregate poll data.  
+
+Optionally, a survey may **reference a governance action** by transaction ID and action index, allowing it to be contextually linked to an on-chain proposal while remaining independent.
+
+## Motivation: why is this CIP necessary?
+
+Formal Cardano governance actions are intentionally restrictive and structured, but this rigidity limits the ability to gather **informal or exploratory community sentiment**. Off-chain tools (e.g., Google Forms, Typeform) have been used for this purpose, but they fragment data and trust.  
+
+This CIP proposes a **unified, lightweight survey metadata format** that can be used by anyone to:
+- Collect feedback.  
+- Gauge sentiment.  
+- Display aggregated results.  
+
+By allowing an **optional reference to a governance action**, this model supports both:
+- **Standalone surveys** (e.g., community temperature checks).  
+- **Governance-linked surveys** (e.g., feedback on a specific proposal or Info Action).  
+
+This separation of concerns provides:
+- **Clarity:** Surveys are not mistaken for governance actions.  
+- **Flexibility:** No deposits, time limits, or procedural constraints.  
+- **Discoverability:** Metadata is consistent, indexed, and linkable.  
+
+## Specification
+
+This specification uses **CIP-0068** label **674** and defines two payload types:  
+`surveyDetails` (definition) and `surveyResponse` (vote).
+
+### Survey Definition Payload
+
+This metadata is included in any transaction that defines a survey.  
+It can be completely independent or optionally reference an existing governance action.
+
+```json
+{
+  "674": {
+    "msg": ["<Short, human-readable title of the survey>"],
+    "surveyDetails": {
+      "specVersion": "1.0",
+      "type": "single-choice",
+      "question": "<The full question to be displayed to respondents>",
+      "description": "<A detailed explanation of the survey (supports markdown)>",
+      "options": [
+        "<Option 1 text>",
+        "<Option 2 text>",
+        "<Option N text>"
+      ],
+      "maxSelections": 1,
+      "eligibility": [
+        "Stakeholder"
+      ],
+      "voteWeighting": "StakeBased",
+      "referenceAction": {
+        "transactionId": "<optional governance action TxId>",
+        "actionIndex": 0
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+| Key | Type | Required | Description |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| `specVersion` | String | Yes | Version of this survey specification. **MUST** be `"1.0"`. |
+| `type` | String | Yes | `"single-choice"` or `"multi-select"`. |
+| `question` | String | Yes | The main survey question. |
+| `description` | String | Yes | A detailed description or rationale (supports markdown). |
+| `options` | Array of Strings | Yes | Ordered list of possible responses (min 2). |
+| `maxSelections` | Positive Integer | Yes | Max number of options selectable per respondent. |
+| `eligibility` | Array of Strings | No | Who can respond. Valid options: `"DRep"`, `"SPO"`, `"CC"`, `"Stakeholder"`. |
+| `voteWeighting` | String | No | `"StakeBased"` (default) or `"CredentialBased"`. |
+| `referenceAction` | Object | No | Optional link to a governance action. Contains `transactionId` (hex string) and `actionIndex` (integer). |
+
+### Survey Response Payload
+
+This metadata is included in the transaction a user submits to cast a response.
+
+```json
+{
+  "674": {
+    "msg": ["Response to survey: <Title of the survey>"],
+    "surveyResponse": {
+      "surveyTxId": "<Transaction ID of the survey definition>",
+      "selection": [
+        "<User's selected option text>"
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+| Key | Type | Required | Description |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| `surveyTxId` | String (hex) | Yes | The transaction ID of the survey definition. |
+| `selection` | Array of Strings | Yes | List of selected option(s); must match survey definition. |
+
+### Casting a Response
+
+- **Governance actors (DReps, SPOs, CCs):**  
+  May include a survey response in the same transaction as a governance vote if referencing a related action.  
+- **Stakeholders:**  
+  Submit a self-transaction including the survey response metadata.
+
+### Block Explorer & dApp Implementation Guide
+
+1. **Survey Discovery:**  
+   Scan for transactions with label **674** containing `surveyDetails`.  
+   Each survey is uniquely identified by the transaction ID of that transaction.
+
+2. **Response Linking:**  
+   Find transactions containing `surveyResponse` and link via `surveyTxId`.
+
+3. **Governance Context (Optional):**  
+   If `referenceAction` exists, display the survey as related to that governance action.
+
+4. **Voter Eligibility Verification:**  
+   If `eligibility` is defined, validate that the respondent’s address matches the specified category.
+
+5. **Aggregation:**  
+   - `"StakeBased"` → sum responses weighted by ADA stake.  
+   - `"CredentialBased"` → one vote per valid credential.
+
+6. **Display:**  
+   Present the survey’s question, description, options, and weighted results.
+
+### CDDL Schema
+
+```cddl
+; CIP-00XX On-chain Surveys (Version 1.0)
+
+surveyDetails = {
+  specVersion: "1.0",
+  type: "single-choice" / "multi-select",
+  question: tstr,
+  description: tstr,
+  options: [+ tstr],
+  maxSelections: uint,
+  ? eligibility: [* "DRep" / "SPO" / "CC" / "Stakeholder" ],
+  ? voteWeighting: "StakeBased" / "CredentialBased",
+  ? referenceAction: {
+      transactionId: tstr,  ; hex-encoded TxId of related governance action
+      actionIndex: uint
+  }
+}
+
+surveyResponse = {
+  surveyTxId: tstr,  ; hex-encoded TxId of survey definition
+  selection: [+ tstr]
+}
+
+cip_00XX_root = {
+    "surveyDetails" => surveyDetails,
+    ? "msg" => [ + tstr ]
+} / {
+    "surveyResponse" => surveyResponse,
+    ? "msg" => [ + tstr ]
+}
+```
+
+## Rationale: how does this CIP achieve its goals?
+
+- **General-purpose:**  
+  Works for any form of sentiment collection — governance-related or otherwise.  
+- **Lightweight & cheap:**  
+  Pure metadata, no deposits or complex data structures.  
+- **Discoverable & linkable:**  
+  Optional `referenceAction` preserves relational context.  
+- **Extensible:**  
+  Future versions can add optional fields (e.g., categorization or free-text support) without breaking compatibility.
+
+### Design Evolution
+
+Early drafts of this proposal used governance *Info Actions* as the carrier for survey metadata. Through review discussions, this approach was replaced with a **standalone metadata model** to remove deposit and lifetime requirements, simplify tooling integration, and broaden applicability beyond governance-specific use cases. The optional `referenceAction` field was introduced to maintain the ability to link surveys contextually to governance actions when relevant.
+
+## Path to Active
+
+### Acceptance Criteria
+
+- At least one survey is published using this structure and correctly parsed by an explorer or wallet.  
+- At least one explorer implements proper discovery, linking, and aggregation logic.  
+
+### Implementation Plan
+
+- Gather feedback via CIP repository and governance forums.  
+- Build a reference implementation and indexer.  
+- Encourage integration into major wallets and governance dashboards.
