Relevant information

Poll 1 decided the main LP pairing asset should be USDC. Meaning the LP pool will be MC/USDC in the second version of the staking platform.

The current pool is a MC/ETH 50/50 Uniswap v2 pool. The old pool will be phased out, current v1 stakers do not have to worry. They will receive similar relative proportional rewards, until the last staker is unlocked (1Y from new pool launch).

The new pool will accrue the majority of the dividends and subsidies the protocol will attribute to stakers (currently 80%). The pool will exist next to a single staking $MC pool, that also receives part of these staking rewards (currently 20%).

In the previous poll, the DAO decided that the LP stake can be locked for 0-48 months. The longer the lock, the higher the rewards for the staker. The bonus multiplier will be either linearly or exponentially.

LP tokens will retain a similar voting weight as they have currently in the V1 system. Locked stakers could also get secondary benefits, such as airdrops from (partner) games or platform fee discounts.
