Ambire Governance Vote: Update XP for Selected Rewards Quests

This governance proposal aims to determine whether to switch the XP gain from logarithmic to linear for a specific set of quests.

The goal is to align incentives with meaningful activity more effectively, onboard more users, and maintain fair distribution, without altering the Rewards formula that converts XP and balance into rewards.

Proposal overview

The following eight quests in Ambire Rewards currently use a logarithmic XP gain. We propose switching them to linear XP gain, so XP scales proportionally with the magnitude of the action:

• Hold staked $ETH with Lido
• Stake $ETH with Lido
• Use the Ambire Bridge
• Swap tokens using Ambire Swap
• Stake $WALLET
• Hold $stkWALLET
• Provide $WALLET liquidity
• Migrating $xWALLET to $stkWALLET

Each quest will have its own reward coefficient, so XP per unit of value differs by quest (for example, XP per $1 swapped may differ from XP per $1 bridged or staked). There is no cap: larger actions earn XP strictly in proportion to their size.

This proposal does not change the Season 1 rewards formula or weighting (weight = level × √balance). We are only proposing to change how XP is earned for the listed quests.

The question is: Should Ambire change the XP formula for the selected quests from logarithmic to linear?

Voting options

• Yes - Change the XP formula
• No - Don’t change the XP formula

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

This governance proposal aims to:

• Encourage higher balances: Linear XP rewards users more effectively for holding and using more within Ambire, promoting healthy balances and deeper engagement.
• Reward what matters (not grinding): Prioritise meaningful actions: bridging, swapping, staking, providing liquidity, and acquiring/holding $WALLET.
• Align with growth plans: Give back to users whose behavior supports Ambire’s growth: trading, staking, and hodling $WALLET; using Ambire Swap and the Bridge; and participating in Lido-based staking.
• Provide clarity & predictability: Linear XP is easier to understand, helping new users join and track progress without surprises.
• Ensure fairness over the long run: Proportional rewards more accurately reflect sustained contribution and volume, improving distribution outcomes when combined with weekly snapshots.

Voting eligibility

• Hold $WALLET or $stkWALLET on Ethereum before the snapshot (October 7, 2025, at 14:00 UTC).
• 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 7, 2025, at 14:00 UTC
• Vote end: The voting period closes on October 12, 2025, at 14:00 UTC

How to vote

1. Open the proposal on Snapshot
2. Connect your wallet holding $WALLET or $stkWALLET tokens
3. Choose between Yes or No and confirm

Vote summary

The community approved changing the XP formula for selected quests. 79.16% (51.7m voting power) voted Yes, while 20.84% (13.6m) voted No. Participation set a new record with 135 accounts, surpassing the previous high of 127.

What’s changing: XP will switch from logarithmic to linear for these quests - Hold/Stake ETH with Lido, Use Ambire Bridge, Swap with Ambire Swap, Stake $WALLET, Hold $stkWALLET, Provide $WALLET liquidity, and Migrate $xWALLET → $stkWALLET. Each quest will use its own coefficient (XP per unit of value), and there is no cap; larger actions earn proportionally more XP.
