Falcon Finance Strengthens Governance: Double Layer Staking Model Launched with FIP-1

Falcon Finance protocol has implemented a new staking architecture approved by the community through the FIP-1 proposal. This change aims to increase the voting power of long-term participants while balancing the influence of short-term speculative capital.

Details of the New Dual Staking Structure

Falcon Finance now offers two different staking options. The first is the Prime FF staking (sFF-Prime) model, which includes a 180-day lock-up period. During this period, FF token holders will earn a native return of 5.22%. Additionally, on the Snapshot governance platform, these stakers will benefit from a much stronger voting mechanism—each staked FF grants a 10x voting weight.

The second option remains the flexible staking (sFF). This model has no lock-up period, and the return rate is set at 0.1%. This provides liquidity flexibility for stakers while also diversifying governance preferences.

Redefining Governance Balance

This increase in voting weight by a factor of 10(, as proposed by FIP-1, indicates a fundamental paradigm shift in decision-making within the Snapshot system. The protocol recognizes the strategic importance of investors committed for 180 days, granting them more effective voting rights. As a result, other actors influenced by short-term market fluctuations and seeking quick profits will have less influence in governance decisions than before.

Liquidity Management and User Experience

At the end of the 180-day lock-up period, sFF-Prime holders will be able to withdraw their funds without any delay. This mechanism aligns with the protocol’s long-term stability goals while providing users with full control and predictability.

Falcon Finance’s new governance model exemplifies how community-focused protocols can evolve into more balanced and sustainable decision-making structures.
