Last updated 1 month ago

To participate in governance and share in the value created by the XMAQUINA ecosystem, DEUS holders must stake their tokens through a vote-escrowed model known as xDEUS. Inspired by successful implementations like veCRV from Curve Finance, this structure is designed to reward long-term alignment and active contribution while solving key legal and operational challenges.

How It Works

• Time-Based Staking

DEUS holders lock their tokens for a fixed period to receive non-transferable xDEUS. The longer the lock, the more benefits. This increases both governance power and eligibility for rewards, encouraging sustained participation over short-term speculation.

• Governance Power

xDEUS holders govern the DAO. They vote on treasury strategy, SubDAO approvals, capital allocation, and ecosystem upgrades. Influence is directly tied to long-term commitment, ensuring that those most aligned with the mission shape its future.

• Economic Alignment

Locked tokens are removed from circulation, reducing liquid supply and helping stabilize the token economy. This model discourages volatility and strengthens the foundation for sustainable growth.

• Governance Filtering

Only staked DEUS counts in governance. This naturally filters out inactive or speculative holders, concentrating decision-making power in the hands of active participants who are aligned with the mission and incentivized to steward the ecosystem responsibly.

Why It Matters for XMAQUINA

In a capital-intensive sector like Physical AI, long-term, mission-aligned governance is essential. The xDEUS model ensures that those who govern the system are committed to its success. It also unlocks a compliant, transparent mechanism for distributing value to contributors, creating a flywheel where staking, governance, and ecosystem growth are mutually reinforcing.
