Let’s say you have 100 JUP staked and you do the following:
1. Unstake 50%
You instantly lose 50% of the voting power (and ASR weight from the coming 30 days). You have to wait 30 days to get 50% of your capital released. 50% of your capital remains locked.
After 30 days you’ve earned 50% ASR + 50% of your assets are still locked.
2. Unstake everything
You lose 50% of your voting power (and ASR weight from the coming 30 days) as the voting power linearly diminishes.
You wait 30 days and 100% of your capital is released. You can now choose what to do with 100% of your assets while you’ve been rewarded the same as on option 1.
NOTE
If you decide to unstake more than 50% but less than 100%, it is even worse than option 1.
Interesting breakdown! Both options highlight the impact of staking choices on voting power and ASR rewards, but they also bring up a key question: should there be a different ASR structure for partial vs. full unstaking?
Option 1 gives flexibility since you still have partial staked assets and voting power, but if someone goes all-in and unstakes everything, they’re technically rewarded in the same way as someone staying half-staked. That can feel a bit imbalanced, especially for long-term stakers who are partially committed even through an unstake.
Maybe ASR rewards could be slightly higher for those who keep at least a portion staked, or taper more significantly if you fully unstake. What do you all think.
Should the rewards better reflect this commitment?
(poll below) and why do you think so?
