GOVERNANCE VOTE
🗳️ Governance Vote Season #4 is Live!
All our $FACTR holders were able to cast their governance votes from the 23rd of November - 4th of November to decide and shape the future of our token ecosystem!
🗳️ How to Vote?
To vote all you have to do is head to https://engage.defactor.com. You can freely modify your vote until November 4th. The more tokens you hold, the greater the impact your vote will have.
Proposal 1: Reduce Staking Rates
Summary: We propose reducing staking rates for FACTR tokens to align with market conditions and ensure sustainable growth.
New Rates:
- No Lock: 5% ➡️ 2.5% APY
- 30-day lock: 7.5% ➡️ 5% APY
- 90-day lock: 10% ➡️ 7.5% APY
- 180-day lock: 25% ➡️ 15% APY
- 360-day lock: 40% ➡️ 25% APY
👉 A YES vote means you approve this adjustment to staking rates.
👉 A NO vote means you prefer the current rates to stay.
Proposal 2: Introduce Token Burn of 20% of Buybacks
Summary: We propose burning 20% of all buybacks to reduce the total supply of FACTR, boosting scarcity.
Details:
- 20% of bought-back tokens will be permanently removed.
- Regular reports will show the impact.
👉 A YES vote means you support the token burn.
👉 A NO vote means you do not approve of the burn mechanism.
Proposal 3: Reduce the Minimum Amount for Staking
Summary: This proposal lowers the minimum staking amount from 1000 FACTR to 100 FACTR, encouraging more participation.
Goal: Make staking more accessible and inclusive.
👉 A YES vote means you agree to reduce the minimum to 100 FACTR.
👉 A NO vote means you prefer keeping the current 1000 FACTR minimum.
