 # Sanctum: Should Sanctum implement CLOUD staking and active staking rewards?
 
 ## Summary
-This proposal implemented two mechanism changes to Sanctum's futarchy governance: (1) staked CLOUD (sCLOUD) with 30-day linearly vesting lockup as the base asset for conditional market participation, and (2) 30M CLOUD (3% of total supply) allocated to reward active governance participants based on staking duration and vote frequency.
+
+Sanctum's first governance proposal (CLOUD-1) implements two mechanism innovations for futarchy: (1) staked CLOUD (sCLOUD) with 30-day linear vesting as the base asset for conditional market participation, designed to mitigate Keynesian beauty contest dynamics by selecting for long-term holders, and (2) active staking rewards funded by 30M CLOUD (3% of total supply) distributed quarterly to participants who meet minimum trading volume thresholds (10 USDC per proposal). The proposal passed 2025-02-09 using Autocrat v0.3.

-## Mechanism Design
-**Staking lockup:**
-- 30-day linearly vesting unstaking (~3.3 CLOUD/day per 100 sCLOUD)
-- Rationale: mitigate Keynesian beauty contest by filtering for long-term holders
-- Gradual transition: will move from CLOUD/USDC to sCLOUD/USDC markets after "people are comfortable"
+## Mechanism Details
 
-**Active staking rewards:**
-- 30M CLOUD total (3% of supply)
-- Formula: (staked amount × time) × (votes participated in)
-- Minimum: 10 USDC trading volume per proposal to qualify
-- Distribution: Two 15M tranches, quarterly, first ~3 months after passage
-- Proposal cadence: Every two weeks (1 week deliberation + 3 day voting)
+**Staking Lockup:**
+- 30-day linearly vesting lockup (~3.3 CLOUD/day per 100 sCLOUD unstaked)
+- Designed to select for long-term holders and mitigate beauty contest trading
+- Transition from CLOUD/USDC to sCLOUD/USDC markets delayed until user comfort increases
+
+**Active Staking Rewards:**
+- Total allocation: 30M CLOUD (3% of total supply)
+- Distribution: Two 15M CLOUD tranches, quarterly
+- First distribution: ~3 months after passage
+- Reward formula: pro rata share = (staked CLOUD × time) × (number of votes participated in)
+- Minimum participation: 10 USDC trading volume per proposal (both pass and fail markets)
+- Tracking begins with CLOUD-2 (next proposal after this)
+
+**Governance Cadence:**
+- Proposals every two weeks
+- 1 week deliberation period + 3 day voting period
 
 ## Significance
-This is the first documented case of a project extending MetaDAO's base Autocrat mechanism with custom participation incentives and lockup mechanics. The proposal explicitly identifies the Keynesian beauty contest as "the primary potential failure mode of futarchy" and positions staking lockups as a mitigation strategy. The active rewards mechanism tests whether explicit incentives can overcome the learning curve and time investment barriers to futarchy participation.
+
+This is the first production futarchy implementation to combine staking lockups with participation rewards as explicit solutions to mechanism design problems (beauty contest dynamics and participation incentives). The proposal's design rationale explicitly names these problems and proposes specific parameter choices (30-day vesting, 10 USDC minimum, quarterly distribution). However, Sanctum's decision to delay the sCLOUD transition reveals adoption friction—even committed futarchy users need staged rollouts to manage complexity.
