Staking & Voting

iOS Staking

iOS staking is a core element of the ai(3,3) system:

• Staking Process: OS token holders can bond OS to iOS at a 1:1 ratio at any time. iOS can be staked at any time.

• Voting Power: Voting power is assigned proportionally to the amount of iOS staked.

• Reward Eligibility: Only staked iOS can receive protocol fees, voting incentives, and rebase rewards.

• Active Participation Required: Unlike ve(3,3), active participation and voting is required every epoch to receive rewards.

aiOS Automated Voting & Reward Collection

aiOS simplifies the user experience and automates ideal voting and reward collection:

• Automated Voting: Ossy automatically votes for optimal pools through data analysis

• Automated Reward Claims: Automatically claims all rewards after epoch transitions

• Compound Effect: All rewards are reinvested to increase the aiOS ratio

• Time Saving: Users don't need to waste time on complex voting strategies or reward claiming processes

Epoch Structure and Reward Distribution

The ai(3,3) system operates based on weekly epochs:

• Epoch Length: Each epoch is 7 days (starting Thursday 00:00 UTC)

• Voting Period: During each epoch, iOS stakers vote for their preferred liquidity pools

• Emission Distribution: Based on voting ratios, the OS emission for the next epoch is distributed to the voted LP pools as iOS.

• Reward Claims: After epoch transition, fees and voting incentives from the previous epoch can be claimed
