CIP-0105 Approved SV Locking Framework
Summary
CIP-0105 is approved on the Canton Network introducing a voluntary onchain framework for Super Validators to lock a portion of lifetime earned $CC rewards. Locked tokens vest gradually over 365 days and increase forward SV Weight. This creates cryptographic proof of long term commitment and aligns governance influence with demonstrable stake.
CIP-0105 Approved: SV Locking & Long-Term Commitment Framework
CIP-0105 has been approved.
This proposal introduces a voluntary, onchain framework allowing Super Validators (SVs) to demonstrate long-term commitment to the Canton Network.
How it works
Super Validators may choose to lock a portion of their lifetime earned $CC rewards.
The more rewards locked, the greater their forward SV Weight.
Locked tokens vest gradually over 365 days.
Why it matters
As the Canton Network becomes more visible to external markets, governance must rely on cryptographic proof of alignment, not reputation alone.
CIP-0105 ensures governance influence accrues to those demonstrating real, long-term commitment to the network.
