Staking
Overview
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 stake.pwn.xyz.
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 here.
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
Epochs: Understanding PWN DAO's Timeframe
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

Understanding Vesting 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.
How to upgrade vesting position to 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
For custom lockup durations, contact the team on Discord
