Stader Community Votes on SD Token Strategy
Stader Community Votes on SD Token Strategy
🗳️ Burn or distribute?
Stader has launched two critical governance proposals for community voting on Snapshot.
The first proposal addresses SD token buybacks - should purchased tokens be burned or distributed to holders?
The second focuses on capital efficiency by reducing the Utility Pool utilization rate from current levels to 4%. This change aims to boost efficiency and move toward zero inflation.
Both proposals represent key growth strategies for the staking platform. Community members can participate in the decision-making process through the active Snapshot votes.
