Thank you all for the thoughtful and passionate feedback. I’ve read every comment and learned a lot from the discussion.
The message is clear: Option 2 is more popular, but supporters of Option 1 made a strong case for preserving user choice that locking should be an explicit decision by the user.
Several people challenged us to find a middle ground that combines the best of both and suggested new ideas. Thank you @messiasmorten, @ChittiDinesh and many others. That’s exactly what we will do:
1. Default Setting: All stakers will receive 5x feathers with 0-day cooldown starting from the time they first staked, until the end of July.
2. Opt-in Deadline: To retain the 5× multiplier and transition to the 14-day unstaking cooldown, users must confirm their opt-in by August 1, 00:00 UTC
3. Post Deadline: Starting Aug 1, users who haven’t opted in will drop to 1x feathers with 0-day cooldown.
4. Sunsetting: After the next airdrop snapshot (targeted for late August), the 1x + 0-day option will be sunset. Stakers who haven’t opted in by then will stop earning feathers, though they can still withdraw anytime.
This approach takes more effort to implement — but we believe it addresses all the key feedback from the community.
Thank you again for helping us shape this together.
Next, we will build, and ship, targeting the end of this month. @humafinance
