Hi Polkadot technical folks,
I have been researching OpenGov for a few days and want to build my substrate node with OpenGov features. I looked over a few pallets `pallet-membership`, `pallet-democracy`, `pallet-collective`, and `pallet-treasury` but integrating those always produces absurd bugs. I don’t know if there is any materials out there for an integration.

I am also interested in this subject, with a twist: Is it possible to have OpenGov operate at the level/scope of a para-chain rather than the relay-chain?

I thought the OpenGov was operating both at the para-chain and the relay-chain level? Biofrost, Acala, and Moonbeam also implement OpenGov to their parachain runtime already.
Runtime of Biofrost already has `pallet-democracy` added: [bifrost/runtime/bifrost-polkadot/Cargo.toml at 7b09365c56ec528955c33ddf414a3322382053f0 · bifrost-finance/bifrost · GitHub](https://github.com/bifrost-finance/bifrost/blob/7b09365c56ec528955c33ddf414a3322382053f0/runtime/bifrost-polkadot/Cargo.toml)
