Voting Power

Your voting power in the protocol's governance system is based on the amount of SQUAD tokens you hold in your wallet. The more SQUAD tokens you hold, the greater your voting power.

• Voting power is directly proportional to your SQUAD token balance
• All SQUAD tokens in your wallet count towards voting power
• You can participate in governance as long as you hold SQUAD tokens

Voting Benefits

As a holder with voting power, you can:

• Participate in protocol governance decisions
• Vote on proposed changes to staking parameters
• Influence the direction of protocol development
• Vote on community fund allocations

How to Vote

To participate in voting:

1. Have an active stake in the protocol
2. Connect your wallet to the governance portal
3. Review active proposals
4. Cast your vote within the voting period

Note: Your voting power is locked during the voting period to prevent double voting and ensure fair governance.

Emergency Pause Function

The SQUAD Token contract includes an emergency pause mechanism that can:

• Temporarily suspend new stakes in case of emergencies
• Protect user funds if vulnerabilities are discovered
• Be activated by the contract owner for security purposes
• Be deactivated (unpaused) once the emergency is resolved

Owner Limitations & Timelock

To ensure transparency and protect users, the contract implements several safeguards:

• 72-hour timelock delay on all major contract changes
• Changes must be announced and scheduled before execution
• Community can monitor pending changes during the timelock period
• Changes can be cancelled during the timelock period if issues are found

What the owner CAN NOT do:

• Access or withdraw user funds
• Modify existing stakes or rewards
• Change the timelock duration
• Bypass the 72-hour waiting period

What the owner CAN do (subject to 72-hour timelock):

• Update staking plans for new stakes
• Pause/unpause the contract in emergencies
• Upgrade contract implementation
• Adjust protocol parameters

Transparency

All scheduled changes are publicly visible on-chain and emit events that can be monitored by:

• Block explorers
• Community monitoring tools
• User notification systems
