Governance & veSTEAM

Locking STEAM for veSTEAM​

  • Maximum Lock Duration: 1 year (12 months) is the maximum lock period
  • Linear veSTEAM Calculation: The amount of veSTEAM you receive increases linearly based on your lock length:
    • 3 months lock = 0.25 veSTEAM per locked STEAM
    • 6 months lock = 0.5 veSTEAM per locked STEAM
    • 9 months lock = 0.75 veSTEAM per locked STEAM
    • 12 months lock = 1 veSTEAM per locked STEAM (maximum)
  • Voting Power: Longer locks grant proportionally higher voting power and greater share of rewards
  • Decaying Locks: Lock time gradually decreases over time unless renewed
  • Alignment Incentives: Users who lock STEAM align their interests with the long-term health and growth of Zhenglong

veSTEAM Lock Duration​

The relationship between lock duration and veSTEAM received is directly proportional. Locking for the maximum duration of 12 months provides the maximum benefit of 1 veSTEAM per STEAM locked.
