CHI Initial Supply and Governance
Last updated
Chi Protocol is an open-source DAO (Decentralised Autonomous Organisation) project. Chi is managed by people worldwide who hold its governance token, CHI. Through a governance system, holders with locked CHI can influence the direction of the protocol.
CHI is the native token powering Chi Protocol. Its utility comprises all core network functionalities, such as staking, governance, mint, and collateral composition. CHI is an ERC-20 governance token.
CHI holders manage the Chi Protocol and its financial risks, ensuring stability, transparency, and efficiency. The voting weight of CHI is proportional to the amount a voter stakes and the duration for which the CHI is locked in the staking contract. In other words, the greater the amount and the longer the duration of CHI tokens locked in the contract, the more significant the voter’s weighting power.
