The proposal , which concluded on August 15, received significant approval—91% from over 25,000 voters.
The proposal focuses on introducing ARB staking and the new stARB token, which will facilitate staking and delegating ARB. This token will also support reward compounding and integration with DeFi platforms, though it will not involve immediate fee distribution to holders.
