is the vote-escrowed version of $RCT
. Users can lock their $RCT
tokens for up to 2 years to get veRCT
. The longer the lock, the higher the amount of veRCT
voting power received.
The lock period (also known as vote-escrowed period, hence the ve prefix) can be up to 2 years, following the linear relationship shown below:
100
$RCT
locked for 2 years will become 100$veRCT
100
$RCT
locked for 6 months will become 25$veRCT
To encourage continuous locking and sustained participation from stakeholders, the veRCT
balance of users declines over time until it reaches zero at the conclusion of the initial locking period. veRCT
positions can be increased, split up and resold on a secondary market. veRCT
holders access the revenue generated by the platform.
The longer the vesting time, the higher the voting power (voting weight) and rewards the $veRCT
holder receives.
