Locking $KIX

Enabling traders to both trade and vote means they are not forced to choose between the two.
The secondary utility of $KIX is as a governance token. To be eligible to use $KIX to vote the token must be locked as vlKIX for a 60 day minimum period.
Those that lock $KiX will receive $vlKIX, vote locked KIX, in return, these two tokens will have an exact 1:1 ratio and by doing so will effectively take the $KIX out of circulating supply and reduce . The $vlKIX token is the only way to access the voting power and voting rights required to participate in the DAO.
$vlKIX will use a voting power system, however there will be no restriction on how many times you can use this voting power. For example if Trader X has 25 $vlKIX, then this means they will have 5 votes available within their voting power, these 5 votes can be used on more than one open voting proposal. If the DAO has an open vote to add Footballer A and a different proposal to unlock some treasury $KIX, then Trader X spend up to 5 votes on each proposal, their vote will not be 'locked' in any one option.
In addition to the governance, traders who lock their $KIX in order to receive $vlKIX will also receive trading commission rebates when buying the KIX/USDC trading pair only. The number of $KIX locked will have a notional $USDC amount, lets look at an example:
if 1 $KIX = 1 $USDC
Trader X locks 100 $KIX, they will be given 100 $vlKIX
Now Trader X will have a notional 100 $USDC locked and eligible for rebates
As Trader X buys more $KIX in the KIX/USDC pair, then the 100 $USDC notional amount from their $vlKIX will be eligible for rebates, so if Trader X buys 100 $USDC worth of $KIX then commissions charged on this trade will be eligible for a 5% rebate.
These calculations will be lazy, meaning they are not in real time, this will allow the platform to calculate accurate rebates against a fluctuating locked $USDC value
These rebates will be further clarified post go live, however the initial range will be 5-15% rebate on the locked notional amount
