Ambire Governance Proposal: Increase XP for Governance Participation
Ambire proposes raising XP for governance voting from 500 to 5,000 per vote. The change is retroactive, granting 5,000 XP for each vote cast in Season 1. The aim is to increase turnout among 8K+ token holders on Ethereum and better reward informed participation.
The success of any DAO depends on people showing up. Ambire has more than 8,000 $WALLET or $stkWALLET holders (as of time of writing), yet only ~100 addresses typically vote per proposal. We want to recognize and encourage the time you spend reviewing proposals and casting your vote.
This proposal suggests a clear upgrade: increase the XP earned for participating in governance so active voters are rewarded in a way that matches their contribution.
Proposal overview
We propose increasing the XP awarded for each governance vote from 500XP to 5,000XP. The objective is to boost voter turnout, reward informed participation, and align Ambire Rewards with the importance of governance in Ambire’s roadmap. If approved, the new XP amount will be applied to all future votes in Season 1 and will be retroactively granted for every governance vote you already cast during Season 1.
The question is: Should Ambire increase the XP for governance participation from 500XP to 5,000XP per vote?
Voting options
- Yes - Increase XP
- No - Don’t Increase XP
Applicability & timing
If the vote passes with “Yes,” this change will take effect during the current Rewards Season 1, which has been recently extended to December 15, 2025.
Motivation
- Increase participation. Governance shapes product direction and token policy. Higher XP for voting gives users even more of a reason to read proposals and participate, moving turnout closer to our 8K+ holder base on Ethereum.
- Reward Ambire-first contributors. Voting is a concrete action that supports the project. Retroactively upgrading the XP reward from 500 to 5,000 reflects the real value of informed, regular participation.
- Strengthen decentralization and accountability. A larger, more engaged voter base makes outcomes more representative, keeping Ambire aligned with the broader Ethereum ecosystem and its community-led path.
Voting eligibility
- Hold $WALLET or $stkWALLET on Ethereum and Base before the snapshot.
- Please note that the voting power of $WALLET tokens is half (0.5 points) that of $stkWALLET tokens.
- Any token changes after the snapshot will not affect the voting power. For example, staking your $WALLET tokens after the snapshot will not double their voting power.
Timeline
- Vote start: The voting period begins on October 13, 2025, at 14:00 UTC
- Vote end: The voting period closes on October 18, 2025, at 14:00 UTC
How to vote
- Open the proposal on Snapshot
- Connect your wallet holding $WALLET or $stkWALLET tokens
- Choose between Yes or No and confirm
