P4 – New Staking Rewards Formula

I’m generally supportive of this move.

The shift from a linear decay model to a power-law APY curve is a meaningful upgrade, not because it simply raises yield, but because it aligns rewards with conviction and market reality.

A few things stand out to me:

  • Cycle awareness:

    • High APY when stakeweight is low is exactly when incentives should be strongest. This encourages holders to stake during uncertainty rather than only after momentum returns.
  • Better long-term alignment

    • The faster decay at higher stakeweights discourages short-term farming while still keeping long-run emissions in check. That’s a healthier incentive structure.
  • Sustainability intact

    • This doesn’t inflate the overall reward schedule. It redistributes incentives across time, which is the right lever to pull.

One addition I’d strongly like to see:

Introducing veNFT-style staking positions that are transferable and mergeable.

Being able to buy other stakers’ positions and merge durations to extend lockups adds critical flexibility:

  • Long-term aligned participants can compound conviction

  • New entrants get a way in

  • Existing stakers get a way out without destabilizing the system

That optional liquidity tends to increase participation, not reduce it, and in my view would materially strengthen $WCT value over time.

Finally, clear frontend visualization and education will be important. Power-law curves and duration-based incentives aren’t intuitive, and the benefits need to be obvious to users.

Overall, this feels like a well-reasoned evolution of the staking model and a strong complement to the P3 redesign. :+1:

Looking forward to continued community discussion.

I think this proposal is good.
However, the fact that staking is currently the only way to utilize the tokens is problematic, so I’m curious about how this token’s economic ecosystem will be utilized (consumed) going forward.
I think concerns will arise about potential oversupply.

この提案はいいと思います。
しかし、ステーキングする以外にトークンの活用が現状ステーキングしかないのは問題なので今後このトークンの経済圏をどのように活用(消費)するのか気になります。
過剰供給になってしまうことに懸念が生じると思います。

This is a great proposal, I fully support and will assist the team in getting it approved.

@dorioji , the WCT already is incorporated into the payment process and how WCT is being used. Please refer to the whitepaper issued in October or November 2025

Infra takes time. Real adoption doesn’t happen overnight, especially for payments. I see this as a long-term bet, and the real impact will show over the next 3–4 years, not in a single cycle.

WCT Stackers!!! :smiley::saluting_face: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

it should be great for stakers

Amazing news for long term stakers, even when staking fair amounts! To make staking worthwhile it should be at least somehow inflation-proof, which oftentimes is not the case (have several cases, when after unstaking some coins total amount with APY % was substantially smaller in value that what I’ve initially staked - this new formula addresses this issue, if not fixes it in full.

Unfortunately, any staking algorithm generates inflation. Ethereum is no exception.
