USTC Staking System - Signal Proposal (Community Direction)
Summary
This proposal is a signal proposal to determine if the community supports initiating work on the creation of a native USTC staking system on Layer 1.
It does not implement any technical changes, allocate funds, or introduce minting.
It only asks whether the community wants development to begin.
Main Goal
The goal of this proposal is to ask:
Should development work begin on a USTC staking system aimed at expanding utility and supporting long-term recovery efforts?
A “Yes” vote signals that the community supports moving forward to the next stage of development.
Scope of This Proposal
This proposal is non-binding and limited to:
- Signaling community interest
- Providing direction to developers
- Establishing the first step of a phased approach
No minting
No Community Pool usage
No parameter changes
No implementation at this stage
Proposed Phased Approach
If this signal proposal passes, the process will follow a structured path:
Phase 1 - Technical Development Proposal
A separate technical proposal will be submitted by developers to:
- Create the USTC staking system infrastructure
- Implement required modules (oracle pool, distribution logic, parameters, etc.)
At this stage:
- No minting
- No Community Pool funds used
Phase 2 - Funding & Activation
Only after the system is built and ready:
- A proposal for Community Pool allocation (to fund rewards)
- Followed by a proposal to activate rewards parameters
Phase 3 - Review & Future Decisions
After launch:
- A review period to analyse staking participation and system performance
- Future decisions (including any emissions or additional funding mechanisms) will be:
- Data-driven
- Governance-controlled
- Optional
Why This Approach
This staged approach ensures:
- Full community control at every step
- No upfront risk (no funds or minting involved)
- Ability to evaluate progress before committing further
Voting Options
- Yes → Support starting development work on a USTC staking system
- No → Do not proceed with development
Conclusion
This is the first step to evaluate whether the community wants to explore a structured path toward USTC utility expansion through staking.
A Yes vote does not implement the system , it only allows work to begin.
