# Proposal Requests

You can request others to submit proposals for you.

### Why request a proposal?

For markets that are whitelist-only, only approved addresses can submit proposals. Requesting a proposal allows you to participate even if your address is not whitelisted.

### What are the benefits?

When you request a proposal, you don't need to post a bond or risk losing it in a dispute.

### How can I request a proposal?

To request a proposal:&#x20;

1. Join the [UMA Discord](https://discord.com/invite/uma).
2. Go to the **#proposal-requests** channel.
3. Post the **Polymarket link** you believe is ready to be proposed.
4. Attach any relevant **evidence or sources** supporting your proposal.

### What happens next?

Community members will review and discuss your request. If the market is ready, a whitelisted proposer (or any proposer for OOV2 requests) will submit it. If not, they will explain why they believe the market is not ready for resolution.
