BMZ Governance Staking & Swap Platform

The BMZ Swap platform enables participation in Blockmaze governance by converting BMZ into governance-backed GBMZ. This platform is designed for issuers, institutions, and ecosystem participants seeking structured, long-term involvement in protocol and market decisions.

Process

How BMZ Staking & Swapping Works

Step 1
Issuers and Participants Hold BMZ

Issuers, institutions, and ecosystem participants hold BMZ tokens to access governance and platform participation.

Step 2
BMZ Is Staked on the Governance Platform

BMZ is staked through the governance staking interface to signal long-term commitment to the ecosystem.

Step 3
GBMZ Is Issued at a 1:1 Ratio

For every BMZ staked, an equivalent amount of governance-backed GBMZ is issued.

Step 4
GBMZ Enables Governance Participation

GBMZ is used to vote on proposals through the DAO using a Quadratic Voting mechanism.

Step 5
Tokens Are Locked for Governance Integrity

Staked BMZ and issued GBMZ remain locked for 15 days to ensure responsible participation.

Step 6
Unstake or Continue Participation

After the lock-in period, participants may swap GBMZ back to BMZ at a 1:1 ratio or continue participating in governance.

Governance Designed to Prevent Concentration of Power

Blockmaze governance uses a Quadratic Voting model, where voting influence increases at a decreasing rate as more tokens are used, preventing any single participant from dominating decisions. For issuers, this reduces governance capture risk and ensures that protocol changes, market rules, and listing policies reflect broad consensus rather than concentrated power, creating a more stable and institution-friendly governance environment.

Lock-In & Unswap Rules

To ensure responsible governance participation, BMZ staking follows a 15-day commitment period. This design discourages short-term influence and protects issuers from sudden governance swings, ensuring decisions are made by participants with sustained alignment. After the commitment period ends, GBMZ can be seamlessly converted back to BMZ at a 1:1 ratio.
