📊 Voting Power Formula

🔢 Base	×	🎖️ Rank	×	⏰ Activity	×	💰 Investor	=	🗳️ Power
√(EQTBLT) × 100		1.00-1.25×		0.80-1.25×		1.0-5.0×		Capped at 4×

🎯 Key Insight: 100 members with 100 EQTBLT each have more collective power than 1 member with 10,000 EQTBLT

🔒 Protection: Total power is capped at 4× your base power

🔢 Base Power

🔢 Base Power (Quadratic Voting)

Your base power comes from your EQTBLT balance, calculated using the square root:

Base Power = √(EQTBLT Balance) × 100

📐 Why Quadratic?

Quadratic voting provides diminishing returns:

EQTBLT	Linear Power	Quadratic Power
100	100	1,000
1,000	1,000	3,162
10,000	10,000	10,000
100,000	100,000	31,623
1,000,000	1,000,000	100,000
