# Governance Yield Mechanics

Governance participation is not just a civic duty; it is an economic activity.\
Quack AI introduces Governance Yield, a mechanism that rewards active contribution and delegation within the Autonomy Stack.

Participants earn yield for staking, delegating, or facilitating governance execution through agents or Q402 relayers.

## **Earning Mechanisms**

```
[ Staking $Q ]
Reward Type: Base governance yield
Mechanism: Lock tokens to secure the network and enable delegation
```

```
[ Delegation ]
Reward Type: Dynamic yield
Mechanism: Earnings scale with agent accuracy and activity
```

```
[ Facilitator Rewards ]
Reward Type: Execution yield
Mechanism: Incentives for Q402 relayers that settle gasless transactions
```

```
[ Agent Accuracy Bonuses ]
Reward Type: Performance-based
Mechanism: Additional rewards for agents maintaining high GovernanceScores
```

```
[ Proposal Creation ]
Reward Type: Contribution incentives
Mechanism: Rewards for verified users whose proposals pass
```

***

## **Yield Model Structure**

```
[ Pool Funding ]
Protocol revenue and transaction fees flow into a shared governance yield pool.
```

```
[ Dynamic Weighting ]
Yields adjust based on actual contribution data rather than fixed APRs.
```

```
[ Agent Validation ]
Each reward cycle evaluates agent accuracy and reliability through Governance Intelligence.
```

```
[ Claim and Compound ]
Users can claim rewards or restake for stronger governance influence.
```

***

## **Benefits**

```
[ Participation ]
The model encourages steady, intelligent engagement throughout governance cycles.
```

```
[ Alignment ]
Rewards directly reflect governance quality and responsible behavior.
```

```
[ Incentive Cohesion ]
Users, agents, and relayers operate under a unified earnings logic.
```

```
[ Integrity ]
Eligibility checks prevent yield abuse and preserve system trust.
```

| -------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Total Governance TVL             | Value of staked $Q and delegated tokens      |
| Active Agents                    | Number of agents participating in governance |
| Execution Yield Distributed      | Total facilitator and Q402 rewards           |
| Compliance-Eligible Participants | Verified users under the Policy Engine       |

#### Vision

Governance Yield is the first step toward a self-sustaining AgentFi economy — where governance, automation, and capital generation operate in sync.\
It transforms governance from a passive duty into an active source of network value, rewarding those who contribute intelligence, trust, and execution power.
