What is STKR?

STKR is the community-owned token used to govern StakerDAO. STKR is used by community members to submit proposals to the DAO and to vote on those proposals. Proposals cover all aspects of how the DAO works including:

  • Adjusting fees associated with the usage of StakerDAO products (wXTZ, wALGO, BLND, STKR)

  • Specifying and funding new projects to be built by community specified teams.

  • Spending funds for any contribution or related expense from the StakerDAO Treasury

How does the StakerDAO governance work?

StakerDAO is a governance protocol run by a community of blockchain and finance enthusiasts who make governance decisions for building cross-chain, decentralized financial assets in a compliant manner. STKR is the community-owned token used to govern StakerDAO.

2. The StakerDAO ecosystem includes three main elements - Staker Advisory, STKR token holder Community, and Staker Development Teams. STKR is the community-owned governance token used to govern StakerDAO.

3. All STKR (Staker) token holders can vote on proposals. Proposals that reach a quorum of yes votes are approved.

4. Approved proposals are built and deployed by incentivized community members.
