Overview

Rewards

Through staking API3 tokens in the pool, you gain access to weekly rewards (unlocked after one year) and are also granted voting rights on active DAO proposals and rewards.

Why one year? Since rewards get minted every week, you can think of this as a rolling unlock (the rewards you receive this week will get unlocked 1 year later, the rewards you will receive next week will get unlocked 1 year 1 week later, etc.) This 1 year-lock is the secret sauce to good decentralized governance, it essentially aligns the incentives of the stakers/governors with the ones of the DAO/project/token for a whole year.
