A Majority Of Voters In Special Council Member Gerry's Staking Poll Want To See Changes Made To It
There is a lot of talk about the future of staking at the ApeCoin DAO following Special Council member Gerry’s recent poll that showed that 44.5% of poll participants wanted to eliminate the $Ape only staking pool from the protocol while another 38.6% of poll voters wanted to end the program entirely.
As the ApeCoin DAO’s staking system quickly approaches the one-year anniversary of its launch, ApeCoin DAO Special Council Member Gerry gauged the community’s interest in possibly changing the reward structure yesterday and it appears that many people are open to ending the staking promgram.
Of the 874 votes cast in Gerry’s poll, 44.5% voted to eliminate the $Ape only pool, 38.6% voted to end staking altogether, 10.3% voted to reduce the reward percentages and extend the program three years, and another 6.6 % votes to reduce the protocols rewards by 50%.

While this poll many not be indicative of the broader community’s opinions on staking, it does show that a lot of people are at least interested in making changes.
As the Bored Ape Gazette previously reported, the ApeCoin DAO passed two staking proposal in the summer of 2022 and the DAO launched its staking system on December 12th, 2022.
As a result, 175 million $Ape was allocated to the protocol and the system was slated to distribute the coins as staking rewards across four staking pools (1. ApeCoin only, 2. BAYC Pool, 3. MAYC Pool, 4. Paired BAKC Pool) over the next three years.
