CIP-9: Governance Proposal for Dual Staking Tier Ratio Adjustment - Vote Now!

Introduction

A new governance proposal is live to adjust the Dual Staking CORE-to-BTC ratios across all boosted yield tiers.

Following strong community feedback requesting more substantial tier requirements, this update aims to:

  • Significantly strengthen the role of CORE tokens in the staking ecosystem
  • Respond to community demand for higher tier exclusivity
  • Optimize staking incentives for the most committed participants
  • Ensure long-term sustainability of attractive yields

Background on Dual Staking

Current Ratios:

  • Satoshi Tier: 34,000 CORE : 1 BTC
  • Super Tier: 12,750 CORE : 1 BTC
  • Boost Tier: 4,250 CORE : 1 BTC

Community input has demonstrated clear preference for more CORE-focused tier requirements that enhance CORE token utility. This proposal represents a meaningful response to community feedback while strengthening the CORE token’s central role in the ecosystem.

Proposed Adjustment

New CORE-to-BTC Ratios:

  • Satoshi Tier: 68,000 CORE : 1 BTC
  • Super Tier: 25,500 CORE : 1 BTC
  • Boost Tier: 8,500 CORE : 1 BTC

These adjustments are designed to significantly enhance the CORE token’s importance, reinforce network alignment, and improve reward sustainability across the ecosystem.

Why the Change?

  • Community-Driven: This proposal directly responds to community feedback expressing desire for higher tier requirements that strengthen the CORE token’s role in the staking ecosystem.
  • Enhanced CORE Token Utility: Substantially higher ratios elevate the importance of the CORE token as the exclusive key to unlocking the highest Bitcoin yields on Core.
  • Strengthened Network Alignment: Higher staking requirements encourage deeper commitment from BTC stakers by incentivizing increased CORE holding and staking to qualify for premium yield tiers.
  • Improved Economic Balance: Keeps staking requirements aligned with market conditions and community expectations, preserving the exclusivity and yield potential of higher tiers.

Expected Impact

If approved, this proposal is designed to:

  • Significantly strengthen the CORE token’s role and utility within the Dual Staking mechanism
  • Increase organic demand for CORE tokens from Bitcoin stakers seeking to optimize yields
  • Enhance long-term staking incentives for dedicated participants
  • Improve network stability through deeper stakeholder alignment
  • Maintain the exclusivity and appeal of premium yield tiers
  • Support the sustainable growth of the Core ecosystem
  • Reinforce CORE as the essential component for accessing premium Bitcoin yields

Implementation Details

If the proposal passes, new ratios will take effect immediately after the governance vote concludes:

  • Satoshi Tier: 68,000:1
  • Super Tier: 25,500:1
  • Boost Tier: 8,500:1
