1/ Voting opens for the WCT Transferability Proposal on March 19th | 10:00 AM CET 🗳️

To participate, make sure you stake before Wednesday!

Here’s everything you need to know about the proposal and why your vote matters ⬇️

3/ Why does transferability matter?

Expanded Functionality – Enables token holders to transfer freely

Decentralization – Expands participation in the ecosystem

Network Growth – Increases staking & engagement

Trust & Stability – Indicates the ecosystem is ready to level up

4/ The 5 Key Milestones for Transferability

For WCT to become transferable, the network must achieve the following:

🔹 16 certified wallets – Strengthening ecosystem security

🔹 100M WCT staked – Committing to network longevity

🔹 16 node operators onboarded – Progress with decentralization

🔹 12 weeks of staking – Proving network stability

🔜 Open-sourcing key components – Increasing transparency

5/ This isn’t just a switch we flip

Even after meeting all milestones, transferability won’t be automatically activated

A final governance decision will be made to confirm the ecosystem is fully prepared before unlocking transferability for WCT

6/ Who can vote?

🔹 Voting power is based on amount staked + staking period

🔹 Any amount staked above 0 WCT qualifies, minimum staking duration is one week

The longer you stake and the more WCT you lock, the higher your stake weight and voting power

Very small amounts may display as ≈0 in Snapshot but will still count for voting

How do I stake? I don't have a lot of experience using Optimism.

Well unfortunately my WCT Tokens were in my very first EVM wallet on MetaMask and it was compromised and they took my 126 or so tokens
