Vote Escrow & Governance

Vote escrow is the core mechanism that powers staking, rewards, and governance in the Meta Signals ecosystem. By locking your MSIG tokens, you receive veMSIG (vote-escrowed MSIG), which determines your subscription discounts, voting power, and staking reward eligibility.

veMSIG (vote-escrowed MSIG) is non-transferable and represents a holder's commitment to the ecosystem. It determines the level of access to benefits: the longer MSIG is locked, the more veMSIG is received.

Why Lock Tokens?

Locking MSIG tokens provides three core benefits:

1. Subscription Discounts: Save up to 50% on Meta Signals subscriptions

2. Staking Rewards: Receive MSIG from the staking treasury

3. Governance Voting: Vote on platform decisions and platform upgrades

The vote escrow lifecycle: lock, benefit, decay, extend
