Why veSTELLA

veSTELLA was the logical evolution of StellaSwap given the success of VE (3,3) models that maximized DEX token utility and sustainability. The following point sums up our reasons;

  1. Shift towards governance model in the pursuit of decentralization

  2. Democratizing the core functino of a DEX: STELLA Emissions

  3. Incentivize long term holders of STELLA

  4. Drive ecosystem growth

    1. veSTELLA creates a flywheel effect where protocols bribe users for their votes with their own token, users accumulate or lock STELLA longer to receive more returns and more voting power

  5. Increase incentives for protocols to accumulate STELLA

    1. Protocols will be incentivized to acquire more STELLA and vote with it to receive STELLA rewards on their preferred pool.

  6. Less STELLA in Circulation

    1. Longer lockups of STELLA, leading to less STELLA sold on the open market supporting price
