Since the staking of $AITECH is already active, @AITECH and @DAO Labs can provide its community members with a modular access to Web3 functionality via #SocialMining. Such a mechanism is not fully coercive, but rewarding; thus, staking is more of an elective and tactical decision than the status quo.
The very basis of staking model is a staking portfolio based on the smart contracts that hold tokens under the control of the user. Trust is increased by this non-custodial structure, which is further enriched by the ability to select the pools that suits differently tolerated risk profiles and time horizons. Each tier has some different features and each can be offered on both short-term and long-term engagements.
There is much more than token yield that users can take advantage of. Staking provides access to utility functions across Solidus ecosystem including participating in governance, and access to gated tools. Specifically, the Proof of Stake can be used as an on-chain certificate instead of a financial lever; the example of a tier-based benefit such as the #AITECHPad proves the point.
The #SocialMining empowers this model because it dies so to increase transparency, equitable participation, and an alignment with protocol growth in the long run that DAO Labs are fostering. It is a transition in extracting methods of staking to more assimilative systems, where the user contribution and informed participation is of essence.
Such models have the potential to turn into benchmarks as the ecosystem matures giving an autonomy, optionality, and embedded utility and at the same time does not take ownership away or over-engineer participation.
