Where should staked LCAI from proposal creation go?

Voting ended 2 months agoSucceeded

Description
When submitting a governance proposal, a proposer must stake LCAI tokens. These tokens are meant to demonstrate commitment and deter frivolous or malicious proposals. This proposal determines the destination of those staked tokens depending on proposal outcomes.

Definition
Proposal Creation Stake = the minimum LCAI a proposer must lock when submitting a proposal.

If the proposal passes or meets quorum, the stake is returned.
If the proposal fails or does not meet quorum, the stake will be sent to one of the following destinations:

Options

DAO Treasury
Failed proposal stakes are sent to the DAO treasury, strengthening the collective resources of Lightchain AI and benefiting future governance initiatives.
Burn Address
Failed proposal stakes are permanently burned, reducing supply and creating a deflationary effect that rewards all token holders indirectly.
Validator Reward Pool
Failed proposal stakes are redirected to the validator pool, incentivizing network security and rewarding those maintaining the consensus.
Hybrid (50% Treasury / 50% Burn)
A balanced approach: half of failed stakes strengthen DAO resources, while half are permanently removed from circulation.
Split: 50% Returned to Proposer / 50% Treasury
Half of the staked tokens are returned to the proposer, while half go to the DAO treasury.
Split: 50% Returned to Proposer / 25% Treasury / 25% Burn
Half of the staked tokens are returned to the proposer, while the remaining half is split equally between the DAO treasury and a burn address.

Resolution Criteria
The option with the highest votes will set the default destination of failed proposal stakes in Lightchain AI DAO governance. This rule applies unless explicitly changed by a future governance proposal on mainnet.

Notes

Stakes are always returned if proposals meet quorum (regardless of outcome).
This proposal only determines where forfeited stakes go.
Implementation will be enforced on-chain via the ModelDAO contract.
