# Sanctum: Should Sanctum implement CLOUD staking and active staking rewards?
## Summary
Sanctum's first governance proposal (CLOUD-1) passed on 2025-02-09, implementing two mechanisms: (1) CLOUD staking with 30-day linearly vesting lockup as the base asset for futarchy participation, designed to mitigate Keynesian beauty contest dynamics by incentivizing long-term holder participation, and (2) active staking rewards allocating 30M CLOUD (3% of total supply) over six months to participants based on (staked amount × time) × votes participated, with a 10 USDC minimum trading volume threshold per proposal.
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Passed
- **Proposer:** proPaC9tVZEsmgDtNhx15e7nSpoojtPD3H9h4GqSqB2
- **Platform:** Futardio (Autocrat v0.3)
- **Resolution:** 2025-02-09
- **Proposal Number:** CLOUD-1 (Sanctum's first governance proposal)
## Mechanism Design
**Staking Implementation:**
- 30-day linearly vesting lockup (~3.3 CLOUD/day per 100 sCLOUD unstaked)
- Planned transition from CLOUD/USDC to sCLOUD/USDC markets (deferred initially due to user confusion)
- Designed to filter for long-term holders and reduce speculative momentum trading
**Active Staking Rewards:**
- 30M CLOUD allocation (3% of total supply)
- Two 15M tranches distributed quarterly
- Rewards formula: (staked CLOUD × time) × number of votes participated
- Minimum 10 USDC trading volume per proposal to qualify
- First distribution ~3 months after passage
- Proposal cadence: every two weeks (1 week deliberation + 3 day voting)
## Significance
This proposal represents the first major implementation of staking-gated futarchy markets on Solana, introducing two novel mechanisms to address known futarchy failure modes: beauty contest dynamics (via lockups) and low participation (via rewards). The staged rollout strategy—deferring sCLOUD markets until users are comfortable—demonstrates pragmatic adoption friction management.
The 30M CLOUD allocation (3% of supply) is substantial, indicating Sanctum's commitment to subsidizing governance participation as a public good rather than expecting pure market incentives to drive engagement.
