99The **Ecliptic** contract sets the rules for what is and is not possible on Azimuth. It's the point of entry for interacting with the [Azimuth](../azimuth) ledger data; the Azimuth contract itself is just data, and the Ecliptic contract is the logic for controlling that data. Examples of such logic include verifying permissions of the person asking to access their data, and ensuring a requested change is actually valid.

14+An upgrade proposal is always a Yes/No vote on whether to adopt a particular set

17+of 30 days the option that has received the most votes is chosen. In either
18+case, the upgrade (or lack thereof) is performed automatically.
