Governance & Voting Incentives

Jigsaw’s governance model ensures alignment between users and the protocol through $sJIG and, in the future, locked $JIG (more about it in Future Developments).

These mechanisms allow participants to influence incentive distribution while fostering long-term commitment.

Governance and Voting Incentives

Governance decisions are powered by $sJIG, which users earn by staking $JIG. Voting rights enable participants to direct bi-weekly distributions of incentives across pools.

Rewards are tied directly to pool performance. Pools that generate higher fees receive a proportionally larger share of the incentive distribution

For example, if pool A generates 20% of the protocol’s total fees, 20% of the incentives flow to voters who supported that pool.

This system ensures resources are directed toward productive strategies while discouraging gaming of unproductive pools.
