Vote on Proposals: Influence initiatives and operational adjustments within the Kadena ecosystem by voting in polls.
Control How Much You Earn: Your rate of reward will depend on the duration that you select to lock your KDA and how much you vote in polls presented during your lockup period.
Track Activities: Monitor locked tokens, view past and current voting, and assess the outcomes and impact of completed polls.
CAB members are rewarded in KDA tokens, up to 10% of their initial lockup, depending on varying factors during the applicable lockup period, including:

Cabinet voting power and rewards
Participants can only claim rewards at the end of the lockup period they elect. Early withdrawal is not allowed, and participants agree to this condition when they start the lockup.
Vote on Proposals
Cabinet Members gain the right to participate in on-chain polling on proposals related to Kadena, such as Kadena Improvement Plans (KIPs), or community thoughts on Kadena ecosystem initiatives, and will be rewarded for doing so. Cabinet members can offer their input on future initiatives by voting to approve, reject, or abstain on proposals added by Kadena.
Voting is a crucial component of the CAB and is what allows members to earn rewards. Members can earn the full reward determined at the lockup initiation if all polls commenced during their lockup duration are participated in. Depending on the rate of participation in polls during one’s lockup, members will earn a proportion of their potential rewards. The more you participate, the more you can receive!
Claim Your Rewards
Your rewards are computed proportionally to your participation in CAB polls during the lockup period. These rewards are computed based on three factors:
Participation rate
Lockup duration
Amount locked
