For discussion about NEAR’s House of Stake governance system, proposals, delegates, and community coordination.
-
House of Stake (HoS) is NEAR’s next-generation governance system designed to be transparent, permissionless, and community-led. It enables NEAR holders to gain voting power by locking their tokens as veNEAR, aligning long-term commitment with influence over network decisions.
-
Proposals can be submitted by anyone, screened by a dedicated committee, and voted on using a stake-weighted system that includes both individual veNEAR holders and endorsed Delegates.
-
This category is dedicated to all discussions around HoS governance: proposal drafting, delegate performance, voting outcomes, incentives, working group coordination, and AI-assisted governance tools. The system is guided by core values—simplicity, transparency, open participation, and gradual decentralization—while being powered by a 0.5% annual token inflation to reward participation and fund grants.
-
Unlike broader governance or community categories, this space focuses specifically on HoS operations and evolution. It’s designed to support a growing ecosystem of participants who want to shape NEAR’s direction through meaningful, stake-aligned decisions.
