# Legacy staking

DHT staking is 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.

Both are discontinued. Voting power is no longer earned by staking, and there are no active DHT emissions from these contracts.

## What this means for governance today

* Governance votes run on Snapshot using DHT held in the voter's wallet (no staking wrapper required).
* Any future staking or voting-power system will be proposed via a [Meta-Proposal (DMP)](/governance-and-token/meta-proposals.md) before launch.

## What this means for the Chamber token

Chamber token design is unfinalised. If it includes a staking or lock-for-voting mechanism, that will be documented when the DMP is posted. See [Chamber tokenomics](/governance-and-token/chamber-tokenomics.md).
