VoteProxy
contract allows for MKR users to vote with a hot or cold wallet using a proxy voting identity instead of interacting directly with the chief. In addition to supporting two different voting mechanisms, the vote proxy also minimizes the time that MKR owners need to have their wallet(s) online.approvals

contract enables MKR owners to vote with the full weight of the MKR they own, for both for Governance and Executive votes. As mentioned above, this process also reduces the risk for MKR users when voting with a cold wallet. This is done by allowing the MKR owner to designate a “hot wallet” which is used to transfer MKR to the proxy and can only be used for voting on Governance and Executive votes. The “hot wallet” can then be used to lock MKR in the voting system and draw it back to their cold wallet.auth
