TACo (Threshold Access Control) 2-min Staker Preference Survey

TACo is the next piece of groundbreaking technology to be hosted on the Threshold Network – the world's first ever access control service that is both programmable (high-utility across diverse use cases) and decentralized (distributed across independently operated machines). With TACo, you can integrate uncensorable end-to-end encryption into virtually any Web3 application or use case.

What is the maximum length of time you are willing/able to lock up your T tokens in order to improve the TACo service?

Assume that longer lock-ups are beneficial to you in two ways: (1) Longer-lock ups improve TACo's security and value proposition to adopting devs; and therefore you are contributing to a collective effort to potentially generate more revenue. (2) Stakers with longer lock-ups are likely to be chosen to service more adopters, and therefore may receive greater compensation.

6 months (minimum deauthorization delay for TACo)

9 months

12 months

18 months

24 months

What is the maximum length of time you would be willing/able to lock your T tokens if a one-off yield bonus was offered? The longer the lock-up, the larger the bonus.

Assume the benefits from the previous question still apply. For more details, check out the Bonus subsection of the TACo Staking documentation.

6 months | No bonus (minimum deauthorization delay for TACo)

9 months | 0.5% yield bonus

12 months | 1% yield bonus

18 months | 2% yield bonus

24 months | 3% yield bonus

Do you independently operate a Threshold node?

Yes – for over 12 months

Yes – for under 12 months

No – I use an infrastructure provider.

No – I use a custodial staking service (e.g. CoinList)

No – I don't operate a Threshold node

Thank you! Your answers are immensely helpful as we develop the service-side and demand-side markets for TACo.
