FAQ
A DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) is a community-driven governance model where token holders collectively decide the protocol’s future.
Through transparent, on-chain voting, participants can propose upgrades and shape how the project evolves in a decentralized, fair way.
Voting power (VP) determines how much influence you have in the STON.fi DAO. It is granted only by staking STON, not by simply holding it.
When you stake STON at app.ston.fi/staking, you get an ARKENSTON soulbound token that represents your voting power.
Your VP depends on two factors:
- How many STON you stake.
- How long you lock it — the longer the period, the higher your VP multiplier.
Your voting power (VP) depends on when the stake was created, how long it’s locked, and the decay curve in the staking contract. It also shifts as the total VP in the protocol changes when others stake, restake, or unstake. In addition, VP decays over time per the staking formula unless you restake or extend the lock. See DAO Governance Rules for details.
Quorum is the minimum total voting power required for a proposal to be valid and eligible for execution. The exact VP number may vary slightly depending on current staking conditions.
To create a proposal, you must hold ARKENSTON with at least 185.42 voting power in a single NFT.
Each proposal begins with a 7 days discussion period. During this time, community members can review and comment before voting starts.
The voting period lasts 14 days. During this time, ARKENSTON holders can vote “For” or “Against” proposals using their voting power.
To stabilize the final result. If, during the last 72 hours, quorum is newly reached or the projected outcome flips between Accepted and Rejected, the vote is automatically extended by 72 hours. Each qualifying change restarts a new 72-hour window; voting ends only after a full 72 hours pass with no further changes.
At proposal creation. They’re computed from the voting power (VP) at that moment. Even if holders’ VP changes later, votes already cast in that proposal retain their recorded weight.
If the vote doesn’t meet the quorum requirement by the end of voting, the proposal is rejected, no matter how many votes are “For” or “Against.”
No. After casting a vote, you can’t change it. If you increase your staked amount later, your higher voting power lets you add additional votes for the same option, not the opposite one.
