A key figure in the Solana ecosystem recently shared an interesting perspective on protocol revenue strategy. The proposal centers on converting profits into staking rewards—imagine locking up tokens for a year to earn yield. As the protocol's balance sheet expands, early supporters who stake their holdings would secure a proportionally larger claim on future distributions. It's a mechanism designed to align long-term incentives: those committed to the network's growth get rewarded as the underlying asset base strengthens. This approach tackles a common challenge in crypto—how to distribute value fairly while fostering genuine network participation rather than just speculation.

locking up for a year just to chase yield? that's brutal opportunity cost if we hit another bull cycle ngl... thesis validation through staking rewards is cute but where's the actual capital utilization here? 🤔

Do you have to lock up for a year to get dividends? It's better to just swap it out directly.

It's another year of locking up assets for returns. The tricks seem to be getting more and more sophisticated.

I've seen this staking dividend scheme before; only early participants can reap the benefits.

It sounds like they want to trap early players inside, but I definitely won't lock myself in for a year.

Do you have to lock your position for a year to earn returns? And you still have to bet on the agreement to grow long-term... Sounds good, but this bet is a bit risky.

Locking assets for one year to earn returns? Sounds like another trick to keep long-term players engaged.

You can only earn yield after locking for a year? You really have to trust Solana that much...
