Legacy staking
DHT staking rewards have ended, but vDHT still carries governance voting weight
DHT staking rewards are no longer running. Two versions existed historically:
Staking v1: the original DHT staking contract.
Staking v2: replaced v1 and introduced vDHT (voting power accrued linearly over time), paired DHT + vault-token staking, and NFT-represented stakes.
DHT emissions from both contracts have ended. Staking v2 is still deployed, and vDHT accrued in it is still the voting weight Snapshot reads for governance.
Withdrawing staked DHT (Staking v2)
If you still have DHT in Staking v2, you can withdraw it:
Go to chamberfi.com/dht/governance?governanceType=stakingV2, or navigate from the Chamber app: Footer → Gov → Legacy DHT → DHT Holders → Governance.
Connect the wallet that created the stake. Stakes cannot be transferred, so they are always in the original wallet.
If your stake also holds vault tokens, unstake those first. Your DHT is automatically moved to a new stake, and you unstake the DHT from that new stake.
Follow the prompts to unstake.
Your DHT is returned to your wallet once the transaction confirms. There is no lock-up or waiting period. Withdrawing removes the vDHT attached to the stake, which is your governance voting power.
What this means for governance today
Governance votes run on Snapshot, weighted by vDHT accrued in Staking v2 on Optimism.
Unstaking DHT reduces your vDHT, and your voting power along with it.
Any future staking or voting-power system will be proposed via a Meta-Proposal (DMP) before launch.
What this means for the Chamber token
Chamber token design is unfinalized. If it includes a staking or lock-for-voting mechanism, that will be documented when the DMP is posted. See Chamber tokenomics.
