Proposal : $CLOUD Staking Options for Wonderland Season 2

Objective:
As a dedicated member of the Sanctum community, I propose options to enhance the utility and appeal of the $CLOUD token as we approach Wonderland Season 2. These options could drive engagement and loyalty within our ecosystem while rewarding active $CLOUD holders.

Proposal Details:

1. Option 1: Make $CLOUD Staking Mandatory for Wonderland Season 2
In this option, participants would be required to stake a specified amount of $CLOUD tokens to access Wonderland Season 2. This would increase demand and holding for $CLOUD and build loyalty among existing members. However, we recognize that a mandatory staking requirement may discourage new users from joining, as they may find this barrier challenging or restrictive.

2. Option 2: Offer Separate Rewards for $CLOUD Stakers
As an alternative, this option would implement a separate reward structure for $CLOUD stakers without making staking mandatory for Wonderland Season 2 participation. By providing unique rewards for those who choose to stake, we can create an incentive that attracts new users without limiting access to Wonderland. This approach would encourage both existing and new community members to explore the benefits of staking, building demand for $CLOUD and increasing long-term engagement across the community.

Benefits to the Community:
These options present a strategic choice:

  • Option 1 may strengthen $CLOUD’s utility and appeal among current holders by ensuring that dedicated users remain engaged.

  • Option 2 has the added advantage of welcoming new users into Wonderland without restrictions, while still rewarding loyal $CLOUD stakers, thus fostering broader adoption and ecosystem growth.

Conclusion:
I invite feedback from the Sanctum community on which option aligns best with our goals. This proposal aims to support the long-term value of $CLOUD while creating a more inclusive and rewarding experience for Wonderland Season 2.

First option is hardly feasible IMO, the second is a very good proposal.
It seems same has been proposed previously.

First of all we must take into account this, $CLOUD staking isn’t available yet.
In case we are able to stake our $CLOUD, I think first option will prevent many people who will want to participate on contrary to wonderland II goal to attract new users.
Your second option it isn’t bad, it will give an advantage to $CLOUD holders but IMO won’t add any significant value to the token.
Thanks you

Creo que la segunda opción es mas interesante, sin duda generar demanda de $CLOUD es importante. El staking podría no ser obligatorio pero aún así ser recompensado, supongo que también sería una buena forma de evaluar la lealtad de los usuarios que apuestan a largo plazo

Thanks brother for your views. I also think second option would be great. I think it is good for token security too. By this way sanctum can get a loyal community like jup.

Absolutely, rewarding voluntary staking could effectively drive $CLOUD demand and help identify the most loyal, long-term users in the ecosystem."

Have to say cloud staking will be a positive for sanctum at this point.
The option 2 will drive the acceptance and success very much.

Staking is beneficial for Sanctum and $CLOUD at this stage because it strengthens user engagement, rewards long-term supporters, and helps stabilize token value. By incentivizing holders to stake, it builds trust and loyalty within the community, promoting a sustainable ecosystem that supports future growth and adoption.

I´m very positive towards making staking cloud possible and hopefully that in general a lot of todays more or less useless governance coins will become revenue sharing coins, creating a meta and economy around it. There´s some signs in the charts saying that it´s more than me seeing this more likely as a pro crypto Trump administrators are more likely to make fair regulations instead of suing everyone

I would support a very very highly incentivized staking component vs the farming of season 2 seekers. This aligns the project on a better level than just those looking for a few bucks.

you could make it as simple or complex as you want.

  1. Cloud staking locks - longer locked cloud the better the incentive
  2. Cloud total staked tiers - 100-500, 501-1k, ect…

I would love to stake $Cloud inside Sanctum. I think there are lots of talented people in this community who want to stay in Sanctum. Staking could be a good alternative for long-term goals. I definitely see Sanctum’s Eco as my second home. I already bought a new Tent :tent:.
Sanctum is Home, and the Earnest shall build our new world. :earth_americas:

alternatively staking $CLOUD at a 3rd party that is set up for such contracts : e.g. Meteora could implement your second option

I would like staking on Sanctum too.
Maybe staking $Cloud can give you bonuses during S2

Yep same, inside Sanctum, I don’t trust 3rd parties for that kind of thing. :pray:

I also think staking option inside sanctum would be best

@fplee what do you think about this proposal

I strongly opposed the option 1. We’re not TIA-DYM or smt. We shouldn’t force people to stake their Clouds or Money to get some airdrops. Yes it gives short-term price boosting but takes a lot trust from the team and community. Forcing ppl smt is not sustainable.

Yes we need utility on CLOUD, maybe option 2 feasible, adding some tier levels (hidden) gives some multipliers to s2 but it should be hidden like earnestness. Unless farmers will try to hijack system.And team planning some staking system but I don’t think its on before S2.
