Staking in the Governance System
Neuron
By staking ICP inside Network Nervous System (NNS) neurons, token holders can participate in network governance and earn voting rewards. Withdrawing the ICP requires a notice period configuration called a “dissolve delay,” which refers to the timespan until the neuron is dissolved and the tokens are unlocked. Dissolve delays can always be lengthened, but can only be reduced in real time. A neuron’s voting power and corresponding voting rewards are proportional to the quantity of staked ICP, the amount of staked maturity, the length of its dissolve delay, and the amount of time that passes before the neuron begins to dissolve, which is its “age.” You can use the NNS dapp to create and manage neurons, as well as vote on proposals.

* Voting reward percentages change dynamically over time and depend on the number of ICP token holders participating in network governance, as well as the dissolve delay and age of their neurons.
Aviate Labs
Known Neuron
Aviate Labs focuses on governance topics like Participant Management and Node Administration, drawing on our extensive experience managing nodes for one of the largest IC node providers since genesis. We collaborate closely with DFINITY, developing tools like a free notification service for node providers. As a Known Neuron, we actively participate in discussions on decentralization, KYC improvements, and onboarding processes. Our goal is to contribute to the IC's growth while upholding security and openness. Learn more about our work and neuron configuration in our announcement.
