The CMT staking system will have two primary functions:
Governance: staked CMT will gain voting power within the system enabling stakers to vote in elections and CKIPs offering the protocol a decentralized decision making mechanism. Protocol Rewards: Staked CMT will earn inflationary rewards. This mechanism will empower members dedicated to the protocol to increase their influence over decision making. Additionally, staked wallets that have trading activity will earn additional rewards in an effort to place active CMT users at the center of decision making.
