Ambire Rewards

Proposal overview

We propose removing the onchain NFT mint as a prerequisite for participating in Ambire Rewards. This action aims to reduce friction and simplify onboarding to the program.

Here is how this change will affect participants:

New and existing users who haven’t minted on Ethereum won’t need to mint an NFT to accrue rewards.
The current characters remain as a profile picture (offchain) that users can pick during onboarding.
Existing NFT mints will remain collectibles for those who minted them, but they will no longer be required for participation.

The question is: Should Ambire remove the NFT mint as a requirement to participate in Ambire Rewards?

Voting options

Yes - Remove the NFT
No - Keep the NFT

Applicability & timing

If the vote passes with “Yes,” this change will take effect during the current Rewards Season 1, which has been recently extended to December 15, 2025.

Motivation

This governance proposal aims to:

Simplify onboarding: Many users don’t understand why an NFT is required to participate. Removing it makes the program simpler and clearer.
Remove barriers to entry: Minting (especially on Ethereum) can be costly due to gas spikes. Eliminating this requirement lowers the friction for newcomers.
Include active users who didn’t mint: Users who have been actively using Ambire but skipped the NFT step become eligible for rewards going forward.
Fairer $WALLET distribution: Broader, simpler eligibility criteria lead to more inclusive participation and a fairer distribution of rewards across users.

Voting requirements

Hold $WALLET or $stkWALLET before the snapshot (October 7, 2025, at 14:00 UTC).
The voting power of $WALLET tokens is half (0.5 points) that of $stkWALLET tokens.
Any token changes after the snapshot will not affect the voting power. For example, staking your $WALLET tokens after the snapshot will not double their voting power.
