To participate in PWN DAO governance, you must stake your PWN tokens. The staking mechanism is designed to encourage DAO members to make long-term commitments. You can manage your staking positions at .
By staking your PWN tokens, you gain:
Voting Power: The longer you stake your PWN tokens, the higher your voting multiplier becomes. You can review detailed voting multiplier information .
Potential Future Fee Sharing: If approved by PWN DAO, stakers will receive a portion of collected fees.
Important Note: In this context, staking functions more like a token-locking mechanism. When you stake:
You do not risk losing your tokens
You do not earn interest on staked tokens
PWN DAO operates on an epoch-based system:
Each epoch is exactly 4 weeks long
Staking actions (creating or extending positions) take effect in the following epoch
The countdown to the next epoch is displayed in the top right corner of the staking UI
For comprehensive details about staking and voting power mechanics, please visit the .
The PWN Staking UI provides a comprehensive overview of your staking positions, vesting positions, and unstaked PWN tokens.
Key metrics in the top bar include:
Total PWN Tokens: Sum of staked, vested, and unstaked PWN
Idle Tokens: Unstaked PWN tokens available for staking
Vested Tokens: PWN tokens locked in vesting positions
Staked Tokens: PWN tokens locked in staking positions
Current Voting Power: Voting power in current epoch
Voting Multiplier: Weighted average voting multiplier of all your staking positions
Time Until Next Unlock: Countdown to when you can claim your next staking position
This graph displays your cumulative voting power over time, from the current epoch to the last epoch where you maintain voting power. Changes in voting power are highlighted on the x-axis.
The positions table offers insights into your token positions:

Vesting positions are designed for early investors with token locks shorter than one year. These positions differ from standard staking in key ways:
No Voting Power: Vested tokens do not generate voting influence
No Fee Shares: Vested tokens do not earn potential fee distributions
You can choose to upgrade your vesting position to a standard staking position to get the benefits of a staking position.
Click the "Upgrade to stake" button in the positions table
Both minimal and default lockup duration is 1 year, starting from the next epoch
Vesting positions are special case, you can read more about them .
