Anchor Protocol Votes in Favor of Proposal 29: What Does It Mean?
Anchor Protocol (ANC), one of the hardest-hit projects in the Terra (LUNA) and UST crash, has revealed that the community has voted in favor of Proposal 29. But what exactly does this mean for the future of Anchor, and why should you care?
Understanding Anchor Protocol and ANC Governance
The Anchor protocol defines a money market between a lender, which seeks to earn stable returns on its stablecoins, and a borrower, which seeks to borrow stablecoins on stable assets. ANC acts as Anchor Protocol's governance token, used to vote on polls. Voting power is given proportional to the vote's amount of staked ANC. Voters are able to allocate a specific amount of their staked ANC.
ANC holders that stake ANC tokens are eligible to participate in Anchor Governance. Through the GOVERN page's Polls section, stakers can vote on created governance proposals, guiding the direction of the protocol.
Proposal 29: A Focus on Sustainability and Utility
Indications have emerged that users of the largest DeFi platform on the Terra network, Anchor Protocol, have voted in favor of a proposal that limits the protocol’s functionality to prevent issues. This proposal aims to increase the utility of the Anchor token through the introduction of voting escrow tokens, also known as a vote locking model.
The new proposal decided to decrease the high yield that is generated by the Anchor Protocol to enhance the sustainability of the platform and improve its functioning. A key aspect of Anchor's governance is setting the “Anchor Rate.” The “Anchor Rate” is the target APY Anchor seeks to pay out to depositors. A quorum of ANC gov token holders vote to set the `Anchor Rate` parameter.

- Sustainability Focus: The proposal aims to address the unsustainability of previous high-yield models, making the platform more stable in the long term.
