Governance Now Requires Staking CommitmentAccording to this proposal, unlocked WLFI token holders need to stake these tokens to participate in governance voting. The minimum time of locking is 180 days. Locked token holders can still vote without supplementary stake request implementation.
The amount of your stake and the duration of time you stake are nonlinear in a formula that calculates your voting power. The system is created to eliminate the possibility of a few people having excessive influence yet rewarding those locking longer the rewards.
The payout is an approximate of 2% annually and is only gained when voting twice upon having the tokens locked. The payoffs are provided by WLFI treasury rather than profits.
Governance rights are not transferable and they decrease as your lock duration reduces. Simply put, the key to influence is seen in the level of commitment you have and not only the level of ownership.
