Kadena Cabinet

Your Seat at the Table

Kadena Cabinet is a Community Advisory Board (CAB), where KDA token holders come together to guide the future of Kadena’s ecosystem via an on-chain polling mechanism.

By participating, KDA token holders become Cabinet Members, earning the ability to vote in polls on ecosystem-based proposals. Cabinet Members are rewarded for their commitment to Kadena by earning a reward on their locked KDA.

Shape the Future of Kadena

Community Participation

The Community Advisory Board is designed to foster active community participation and a more inclusive ecosystem that resonates with the community’s aspirations. Cabinet Members are eligible to participate in polls on initiatives that provide direction for the Kadena ecosystem, such as Kadena Improvement Plans (KIPs).

Enhanced Utility

Cabinet Members who participate in the polling are rewarded for their contributions to the future of the Kadena ecosystem. The accrued rewards are determined by a tier system based on the KDA lockup time and the participation of polls. After the lockup period, only Cabinet Members who have participated in polling can claim an accrued reward when they unlock their tokens.

Transparent Governance

The CAB is governed by easily accessible smart contracts, ensuring that locked funds are secured autonomously, without the involvement of Kadena or any third party. Additionally, the CAB platform provides transparent information on Cabinet member activity, including available polls, voting power and votes.

What are the minimum and maximum lockups?
Users can lock from a minimum of 100 KDA, up to a maximum of 5,000 KDA, to participate in Kadena Cabinet.
Can I reclaim my KDA earlier than the lockup duration?
No. Once you’ve locked your KDA, you must wait until the end of the lockup period before you can claim your KDA.
Can I add additional KDA to my existing lockup?
No. Once you’ve locked your KDA, you cannot add more KDA to your existing lockup. However, once your existing lockup period ends, you may lock again if there are additional rewards available.
When can I claim my reward?
You can claim your reward after the end of your lockup period. To determine the remaining time of your lockup period, visit the Lockup page.
How is polling power determined?
Polling power is determined by the duration of your KDA lockup. The longer you lock up your KDA, the more voting power you’ll receive. Polling power for a poll is the sum of the polling powers across the existing lockups when the poll was created.
How is the participation rate calculated?
The participation rate is determined by the amount of polls participated in throughout a user’s lockup period. To achieve a participation rate of 100%, a user must submit a response to all polls posted from the time of lockup. Cabinet Members will only be able to participate in polls that were created during their lockup periods. Polls created before the lockup initiation will not detract from the participation rate.
What is the total amount of rewards?
100,000 KDA has been allocated for the initial launch of the Kadena Cabinet.
Are the outcomes of polls binding?
No. While the results of the votes are not-binding on Kadena or anyone else, the votes will be important to reflect the collective judgment of KDA holders.
Who controls my locked KDA?
Locked KDA is governed by a smart contract that anyone can view on the block explorer. Neither Kadena nor any third-party entity is in control or has possession of the locked KDA.
