  * Staking: Lock WECO tokens for governance privileges, earn a portion of platform fees.
  * Farming: Users providing liquidity to AMM pools (WECO/USDC, WECO/RWA token pairs) receive additional token incentives.

#### Governance & DAO Framework

1. Proposal Submission
   * Token holders can submit proposals (e.g., listing new assets, adjusting protocol fees, or integrating new AI features).<br>
2. Voting Mechanism
   * Weighted by tokens staked in governance contracts.
   * Options for quadratic voting or reputation-based weighting to prevent whale manipulation.<br>
3. Implementation
   * If a proposal passes, on-chain smart contracts automatically execute changes (where feasible) or instruct the core dev team to implement (e.g., for complex feature rollouts).
