Introduction
A governance proposal is now live to adjust the Dual Staking CORE-to-BTC ratios across all boosted yield tiers. This proposal aims to proactively address current market conditions, optimize staking incentives, and ensure the sustainability of attractive staking yields.
Background on Dual Staking
Introduced in Q4 2024 as part of the Fusion Upgrade, Dual Staking allows stakers who simultaneously stake Bitcoin and CORE tokens to unlock higher yield tiers. Initially, the staking ratios were:
- Satoshi Tier: 8,000:1
- Super Tier: 3,000:1
- Boost Tier: 1,000:1
Following increased staking participation and feedback from the community (implemented in CIP-3), these ratios were adjusted to their current levels:
- Satoshi Tier: 16,000:1
- Super Tier: 6,000:1
- Boost Tier: 2,000:1
Despite this adjustment, the increasing number of stakers qualifying for top yield tiers continues to dilute individual staking rewards. This proposal aims to optimize these ratios further.
Proposed Adjustment
This proposal seeks further to adjust the Dual Staking ratios to the following levels to strengthen network alignment and improve reward sustainability:
- Satoshi Tier: 24,000:1
- Super Tier: 9,000:1
- Boost Tier: 3,000:1
Why This Change?
Improved Economic Balance – Increasing staking ratios ensures fairer staking requirements aligned with real-time supply-demand dynamics.
Deepened Commitments from Bitcoin Stakers – A higher staking requirement incentivizes Bitcoin stakers to further commit to the security of the Core network by staking additional CORE tokens to qualify for higher tiers.
Optimized Staking Rewards – Proactively addresses yield dilution and ensures rewards remain attractive and sustainable.
Impact of the Proposal
Increases the Dual Staking CORE-to-BTC ratios across all boosted yield tiers.
Enhances long-term staking incentives and participation.
Contributes to greater network stability and reward optimization.
