Staking & Governance
Staking and governance are critical components of the EdgeMob ecosystem, ensuring reliability, security, and long-term decentralization of the mobile AI compute network. By requiring participants to stake EGMO tokens, EdgeMob aligns economic incentives with network performance, while governance empowers the community to shape its evolution.
Staking Model
Node Operator Staking
Operators must stake EGMO tokens to participate in the decentralized gateway.
Higher stake levels improve routing priority, reward multipliers, and access to premium workloads.
Staking discourages malicious behavior, as penalties (slashing) apply for unreliable or fraudulent activity.
Developer Staking
Developers may stake EGMO to access premium network features, reduced gateway fees, or priority compute during peak demand.
Encourages long-term alignment between developers and the ecosystem.
Delegated Staking
Token holders who are not directly running nodes can delegate their stake to trusted operators.
Delegators earn a portion of rewards while strengthening network security and decentralization.
Governance Framework
On-Chain Proposals
EGMO holders can submit proposals for protocol upgrades, fee adjustments, or ecosystem funding.
Voting power is proportional to staked EGMO.
Community Treasury
A portion of network fees flows into a treasury managed by governance.
Funds are allocated to grants, developer incentives, or strategic partnerships.
Progressive Decentralization
Early governance may involve foundation oversight, but decision-making transitions fully to token holders as the ecosystem matures.
Ensures EdgeMob remains community-owned and censorship-resistant.
Benefits
Security: Staking creates economic guarantees that participants act in good faith.
Resilience: Decentralized governance prevents control by any single entity.
Community Alignment: EGMO holders directly influence the roadmap and incentives.
With staking and governance, EdgeMob builds trust and accountability into its foundation, ensuring that the network grows in a secure, fair, and community-driven manner.
