Meaning ⎊ The practice of aligning governance power with active contributions and long-term commitment to protocol health.
Soulbound Governance Tokens
Meaning ⎊ Non-transferable tokens representing reputation or contributions, preventing the commodification of voting power.
Reputation-Based Voting
Meaning ⎊ A voting system where governance power is earned through contributions rather than acquired through token ownership.
Governance-Driven Emission Adjustments

Fee-to-Reward Ratio
Meaning ⎊ A metric comparing protocol revenue against the cost of incentives to determine economic sustainability.
Protocol Yield Efficiency
Meaning ⎊ Metric assessing the sustainability and risk-adjusted return on investment for liquidity providers and token stakers.
