Voting Period

From May 1, 2025, 12:00 (UTC) to May 8, 2025, 11:59 (UTC)

Voting Eligibility

• Only users holding Balance Key Nodes are eligible to vote.

• Each Key Node grants one vote.

Voting Rules

There are four options available in this vote. Each vote can be used to support one option, and supporting multiple options will consume one vote per option. Voters may allocate their votes across different options or concentrate all their votes on a single option.

Voting Process

1. Connect your wallet holding the Key Node(s). The system will automatically detect your node count and display your available votes.

2. Select the option(s) you wish to support. Each selected option will consume one vote.

3. Confirm and submit your vote allocation. Once submitted, votes cannot be revoked or changed.

4. After the voting period ends, the result will be determined based on the total number of votes each option received.

Special Notes

• Real-time voting results will be publicly displayed. All users can view the vote counts for each option during the voting period.

• Once a vote is submitted, the corresponding voting rights are consumed and cannot be reused or modified.

Voting Options

Option A: Weighted Distribution Based on Holding Duration

• 25% of the Node Reward Pool will be released on the 1st and 15th of each month.

• Rewards will be distributed to Key Node holders based on a time-weighted model, where longer holding periods result in a higher share of the distribution.

• Rewards can be claimed directly without any additional lockup period.

Option B: Equal Distribution Among Node Holders

• 25% of the Node Reward Pool will be released on the 1st and 15th of each month.

• Rewards will be equally divided among all Key Node holders, regardless of holding duration.

• Rewards can be claimed directly without any additional lockup period.

Option C: Bonus Rewards for Deferred Withdrawal

• Users who defer claiming their mining rewards will receive additional bonus rewards:

  • 120 days: 120% of mining rewards

  • 150 days: 150% of mining rewards

  • 180 days: 200% of mining rewards

• The bonus portion will be supplemented from the Node Reward Pool.

Option D: Dual Yield Staking Rewards for Node Holders

A dual reward staking mechanism will be introduced. When participating in staking, Key Node holders will not only earn the standard staking rewards, but will also receive an additional 100% bonus reward. This bonus reward will be supplemented from the Node Reward Pool.

During the staking period, node holders can receive:

• Standard staking rewards

• An additional 100% bonus on the base rewards, sourced from the Node Reward Pool (exclusive to Key Node holders)

Note: Only the bonus reward comes from the Node Reward Pool. Standard staking rewards are generated independently.

Final Remarks

We highly encourage all Key Node holders to participate in this important vote. Your decision will directly shape the reward mechanisms for the future of the Balance ecosystem.

Thank you for your ongoing support and dedication to the Balance ecosystem. Together, we will ensure it remains sustainable, resilient, and community-driven for the long term.
