Voting Power And USST Staking

STBL's governance model is based on staking USST tokens, where users gain voting power proportional to the amount of tokens they stake and the duration of the lock-up period. This ensures that committed participants have a greater influence over the protocol's decisions, promoting long-term engagement and decentralized control.

Time-Locked Staking​

  • Amplified Voting Power: Users can lock their USST tokens for a fixed period, gaining enhanced voting power based on the length of their commitment.
  • Long-Term Influence: The multiplier effect on voting power encourages users to stake for extended periods, ensuring that those invested in the protocol's long-term success have more say in governance.
  • Sustainability and Stability: Time-locked staking promotes the protocol’s stability by reducing speculative activity and fostering responsible decision-making.

Delegated Governance​

  • Active Representation: Users who prefer not to participate directly in governance can delegate their voting power to trusted representatives, known as Delegates.
  • Efficient Decision-Making: Delegates act on behalf of stakers, contributing to efficient and well-informed governance decisions.
  • Accountability: Delegates are chosen based on their expertise and alignment with the community’s interests, ensuring transparent and effective decision-making.

Staking Incentives and Participation​

  • Earning Potential: Users earn staking rewards in USST tokens by participating in governance decisions.
  • Protocol Sustainability: Active participation in staking and voting strengthens the protocol’s decision-making processes and long-term sustainability.
  • Inclusive Governance: Delegated voting ensures that even passive participants contribute to the protocol’s growth and development.
  • Enhanced Network Security: With more tokens staked, the protocol benefits from increased security and resilience against malicious actions.
