📲 A new governance proposal is live 🗳️
It introduces a redesigned 📲 WCT staking model with:
• 🔁 Perpetual staking
• 🧑💻 User-triggered unlocks
• 🗓️ Discrete duration options
🎯 The goal: simpler, more predictable staking.
🧵 The TLDR of this proposal:
🔁 Perpetual Staking Positions
Once you stake WCT, it maintains full stakeweight until the user chooses to unstake. No time decay, no need to refresh.
This offers a “set-and-forget” staking experience. 🛋️
🔓 User-Triggered Unlocking Period
Users can initiate an unlocking period whenever they decide to exit their position.
Upon triggering, the stakeweight will decay linearly over the selected unlocking duration, at the end of which the position becomes fully withdrawable. 📉⏳
📆 Discrete Duration Options
Instead of choosing any random duration, you’ll pick from clear, fixed options:
4, 8, 12, 26, 52, 78, or 104 weeks.
This enables users to better understand the impact of their staking choices and compare rewards across options. 📊
🧩 Preserving Optionality
We know that some users may prefer the original behaviour (i.e. decay starting from position creation).
To respect this:
✅ You’ll still be able to trigger your unlock right away, just like before.
🙌 Nothing is being taken away — just more choice added.
What happens to existing stakers?
If you’re already staking, there’s nothing you need to do.
Your position will continue unlocking just like it was before.
🔄 You won’t be switched to the new model automatically.
But if you want to opt into the new system and make your stake perpetual, you’ll be able to re-stake after the contract is updated.

DOGE Token Sees 2.4% Dip Amid Profit-Taking, Whale Accumulation, and U.S. Regulatory Shifts
Dogecoin (DOGEUSDT) is currently trading at $0.26588 on Binance, reflecting a 2.40% decrease over the past 24 hours from a 24h open of $0.27243. The recent price decline can be attributed to profit-taking following a period of heightened volatility and a significant rally earlier in the week, as well as technical indicators showing overbought conditions. Despite bullish sentiment from large-scale purchases, such as Bit Origin's acquisition of 40.54 million DOGE and ongoing whale accumulation, short-term market correction pressures have emerged. Regulatory developments in the U.S., including the passage of the STABLE Act and discussions around cryptocurrency innovation exemptions, have contributed to increased market activity and uncertainty. Dogecoin maintains a market capitalization near $40 billion, with a circulating supply of approximately 150.2 billion DOGE and 24-hour trading volumes ranging from $6.13 billion to $19.88 billion, underscoring continued strong interest and liquidity in the asset.

Crypto finance company Matrixport Reveals Key Factor Supporting Bitcoin Bull Scenario! Here Are the Details.
Matrixport emphasized that one of the factors supporting the Bitcoin bull scenario is the preparations of crypto companies for IPOs.
Crypto finance company Matrixport, in its “Chart of the Day” report, emphasized that one of the key factors supporting the Bitcoin (BTC) bull scenario for 2025 is the initial public offering (IPO) preparations of crypto companies.
Matrixport: Bitcoin's 2025 Bull Run Could Be Fueled by IPO Wave.
According to the report, Wall Street investment banks also want to create a favorable market environment for these IPOs by encouraging BTC prices to remain high.
This expectation is no longer just a theory. Numerous crypto companies, including Circle, have filed for IPOs. Matrixport reports that a new crypto company is queuing up for IPO almost every week. This is increasing institutional interest and capital flow into the sector.
Sharp Rises in Crypto Stocks
The stock performance of crypto-focused companies listed on the stock exchange also supports this interest:
MicroStrategy: 47% increase
Coinbase: 67% increase
Robinhood: 180% increase
Circle: A stunning 597% rise
These massive price increases reinforce investor confidence and increase IPO excitement and participation in the crypto sector.
According to Matrixport, the IPO cycle by crypto firms could prolong the bull market by supporting Bitcoin prices to remain high. The interest in this wave from both traditional financial players and individual investors could keep BTC strong through 2025.
