veLDY Pools
The Ledgity Protocol uses a veToken (vote-escrowed) staking model to align long-term incentives between users, governance stewards, and the protocol’s economic growth.
When users stake LDY, they lock it for a chosen duration and receive a veNFT that represents:
Voting Power in governance
Share of protocol buybacks
Utility boosts inside the protocol (priority withdrawals, yield boosts, etc.)
The longer the lock → the higher the veLDY weight → and the larger the share of rewards.
How veLDY Works
Stake LDY
Receive a veNFT position
Choose lock duration (e.g., 1–24 months)
Lock duration increases veLDY weight
Hold veNFT
Earn a share of BUYBACK rewards + governance rights
veLDY does not inflate or mint new tokens. Value accrues through real yield → buybacks → reward distribution.
Dual Pool Reward System
The protocol distributes bought-back LDY into two separate staking pools.
veLDY Community Pool
80% of all LDY buybacks
Users who stake LDY
Rewards aligned community participation & long-term commitment
veLDY Council Pool
20% of all LDY buybacks
Governance stewards & strategic contributors
Sustainable funding for protocol oversight, partnerships & development
This structure ensures:
Users receive the majority of value created by the protocol
Governance is sustainably incentivized, without requiring inflation or forced token sales What veLDY Unlocks
