Distribution

In the early days of Gems, Distribution was via a weekly buyback and burn of $GEMS. (GEMS Burn Contract), Now complete, we have moved to a new and improved system, GEMS-based Governance. A powerful DAO shaped by our community!

GEMS Governance rewards $GEMS holders, through snapshot staking paired with vote consensus ratios to determine earnings. In other words, $GEMS are staked by tracking your wallet balance, and ensuring you never fall below the amount staked.

Important

Staked $GEMS never leave your wallet and custody.

Governors recieve a share of the platform’s profits directly to their wallet at the end of each participated period! Incentivizing delayed gratification.

Governance is organized into 3 month periods, 13 weeks long. Synced with Algorand Governance periods, there is a 3 week window at the end of each period to commit and stake.

Important

APY is based on the quality of individual participation in Governance.

Governance

A GEMS-based system gives holders the ability to participate in the GEMS decentralized governance. Governors will be able to allocate community GEMS funds to new initiatives and can currently verify artists, and moderate content to prevent stolen art (and other abuses). Big Votes allow Governors to shape policy and the development of the platform!
