5. Staking & Governance
ANSO Token Staking Mechanism
Overview
The ANSO Token staking mechanism is designed to reward users for holding and staking their tokens, providing them with attractive APY (Annual Percentage Yield) while also incentivizing long-term commitment to the project. The system is tiered, with dynamic APY that adjusts based on network conditions and a mix of inflationary rewards and transaction fees. Additionally, stakers will have the opportunity to participate in governance voting, where long-term stakers gain more voting power.
1. Staking Tiers and APY
ANSO Token introduces tiered staking where users are rewarded with different APYs based on their lock-up duration and the amount they stake.
Tier
Lock-Up Period
Boosted APY (First 3 Months)
Standard APY (After 3 Months)
Bronze
No lock-up
10-12%
5-8%
Silver
1 month
18-22%
10-15%
Gold
2 months
25-30%
15-20%
Platinum
4 months
40-50%
25-30%
Dynamic APY
Dynamic APY adjusts based on the total amount of tokens staked and the overall activity within the network. The more tokens staked, the lower the rewards may be to ensure sustainability.
If transaction volumes increase or network usage grows, transaction fees will be redistributed to stakers, boosting the APY.
2. One-Time Early Staker Bonus
To incentivize early participation, users who stake their tokens within the first month of the launch will receive a one-time staking bonus. The bonus is determined by the user’s tier and increases based on how long they hold their tokens.
Tier
Lock-Up Period
Bonus Tokens (% of Staked Amount)
Bronze
No lock-up
+2%
Silver
1 month
+5%
Gold
2 months
+7%
Platinum
4 months
+12%
The bonus is applied to the staked amount at the end of the lock-up period.
If the user unstakes early, they will lose the bonus.
The bonus increases based on the duration of the lock-up, rewarding longer-term commitment.
3. Governance Voting Power for Long-Term Stakers
ANSO Token implements governance voting as part of the staking program. The amount of voting power a user has is determined by their staked amount and lock-up duration.
Voting Power Structure
Tier
Lock-Up Period
Voting Power Multiplier
Bronze
No lock-up
1x (base level)
Silver
1 month
1.5x
Gold
2 months
2x
Platinum
4 months
3x
Base Level: Every staker receives 1x voting power (base level) for staking.
Lock-Up Duration: The longer a user locks their tokens, the more voting power they gain. A Platinum-tier staker, for example, will have 3x the voting power of a staker with no lock-up.
Staked Amount: The more tokens a user stakes, the more proportional voting power they receive.
Voting Rights
Stakers will be able to participate in voting on key project decisions such as:
APY adjustments for future staking rewards.
Fee distribution (e.g., percentage of transaction fees allocated to staking rewards vs. development).
Project roadmap decisions, including new features, partnerships, and updates.
4. Early Unstaking Penalty
To ensure the system remains balanced and prevent users from staking only for the bonuses or rewards, there will be a penalty for early unstaking.
Penalty Structure:
Unstaking in the first month: Loss of 20% of earned staking rewards.
Unstaking in the second month: Loss of 10% of earned rewards.
After the second month, no penalty.
The penalties will be redistributed to the other stakers or added to the staking pool to maintain sustainability.
5. Sustainability and Long-Term Commitment
The staking mechanism is designed with sustainability in mind:
Inflation: A controlled supply of new ANSO Tokens will be minted to provide staking rewards, ensuring rewards are distributed in a balanced way without excessive inflation.
Fee Distribution: A percentage of transaction fees generated within the ANSO Token ecosystem will be redirected to staking rewards to ensure the program remains well-funded.
Dynamic Adjustments: The system will dynamically adjust the APY and rewards based on staking volume, network activity, and tokenomics to avoid over-inflation and ensure long-term viability.
Staking CAP: No single user will be able to stake more than 5% of the total 250,000,000 tokens reserved for staking. This should help maintain a balanced distribution of staked tokens
Conclusion
The ANSO Token staking mechanism rewards early participation, long-term holding, and active engagement with governance decisions. Through tiered staking, dynamic APY, one-time bonuses, and governance voting power, we aim to create a robust, sustainable ecosystem that benefits both individual stakers and the project as a whole.
