QUBITUM uses a unique ticket system inspired by Decred's proven consensus mechanism
Lock your QBT to purchase staking tickets. The ticket price adjusts dynamically based on demand to maintain the target pool size of 8,192 tickets.
Your ticket enters the ticket pool and becomes eligible for selection. Tickets are selected pseudo-randomly using the block hash as a seed.
When selected, your ticket votes on the validity of the previous block. You can also vote on governance proposals through your ticket.
After voting, you receive your original stake plus a share of the block's PoS reward (27% of block reward split among 5 voters).
The ticket price is determined by an algorithm that adjusts every 144 blocks (~6 hours) to maintain the target pool size of 8,192 tickets.
Pool size exceeds target (high demand)
Pool size below target (low demand)
Dynamic ticket pricing ensures the network maintains optimal security by keeping the ticket pool at a healthy size. It also prevents any single entity from acquiring too many tickets at once.
Ticket holders directly influence protocol development through on-chain voting
Every ticket selected to vote on a block approves or rejects the previous block. A block needs at least 3 of 5 votes (60%) to be accepted.
Ticket holders vote on proposed changes to the consensus rules (hard forks). Changes require 75% approval over a voting period.
The 10% treasury allocation is governed by stakeholders. Proposals for development funding must pass a stakeholder vote.
* Estimates are based on current network parameters. Actual returns may vary based on ticket price, network participation, and voting luck.

Keep your wallet online to vote when tickets are selected
You can stake solo by running your own voting wallet 24/7, or use a Vote Service Provider (VSP) that will vote on your behalf for a small fee (typically 1-5%). VSPs are non-custodial - they can only vote with your tickets, never spend your funds.
