Block Street - Staking - 25 April 2026

Block Street has launched BSB staking with a time-weighted governance model. As detailed in the team’s staking announcement, users stake BSB into a shared global lock, where their voting power increases linearly over time, reaching up to 4x after 365 days, and can participate in governance each epoch to earn rewards. Mechanistically, this creates an incentive to lock tokens for longer durations, pulling BSB out of liquid circulation and aligning holders with protocol decisions. Reduced free float can support price in bullish conditions, while the prospect of governance and yield may attract new buyers seeking exposure to staking returns and influence.
