VELO Fed Transitions to Community-Controlled Emissions
VELO Fed Transitions to Community-Controlled Emissions
🏦 veVELO Holders Get The Keys
Velodrome's VELO Fed is implementing a major governance change, shifting from fixed emission schedules to community control. veVELO token holders will now have direct influence over weekly emission rates through voting.
Key changes:
- Emissions can be adjusted up/down by 0.01% weekly
- Initial transition phase maintains 0.3% weekly rate
- Rate caps: min 0.01% to max 1% weekly
- Designed to support Superchain expansion
The system aims to create a more responsive monetary policy while maintaining stability during the protocol's growth phase across multiple chains.
