Arbitrum community launches "unlock token utility by enabling ARB staking" proposal vote
BlockBeats news, on August 9, according to the Snapshot governance page, Tally market operations head Frisson launched a "unlock token utility by enabling ARB staking" proposal vote in the Arbitrum community, and the vote will end on August 16.
The proposal proposes to unlock ARB utility by enabling ARB staking and improve the governance and security of the Arbitrum protocol, but will not start distributing fees to token holders for the time being. Through ARB staking, tokens are delegated to users who actively participate in governance, and token holders will be able to capture value.
The proposal will also implement a liquidity-staking ARB token (stARB) through the Tally protocol, which can automatically compound any future rewards, can be (re)staking, and is compatible with DeFi.
In addition, the proposal initiator said it would work with Arbitrum DAO to decide whether and how to fund rewards and distribute rewards between token holders and delegators.
