Staking

A DAO's staking configuration determines the rules of the token staking process. Only token-based and NFT-based DAOs have a staking process to configure. Member-based DAOs do not have staking because they do not use tokens.

How to update the staking configuration

To change the staking configuration of a DAO, you must submit a governance proposal containing the Update Staking Config action from the DAO Governance category.

Parameters

Unstaking duration

After someone stakes tokens in a DAO, those tokens cannot be immediately unstaked. The unstaking duration is how long they remain locked after deciding to unstake. During the unstaking process, they do not count towards your voting power, and you cannot transfer them.

This adds a time cost to staking and ensures a greater level of participatory commitment from members.
