A few months ago we as a community had a large milestone, when GHST was added as a collateral on Aave (amGHST). We have further integrated amGHST by introducing wapGHST (wrapped Aave GHST), and allowing users to stake this wapGHST for GLTR. Aave GHST and its derivatives are the future of GHST and are much more efficient than unstaked GHST, as users earn Aave yield on their GHST in addition to other utility.
Overlooked in all this, however, is the fact that amGHST, wapGHST, and staked wapGHST currently do not have any voting power. This puts users in a difficult position – do they maintain their voting power and community involvement, or stake their GHST for Aave yield and frens.
I intend to introduce a SigProp in the next week proposing that amGHST, wapGHST, and staked wapGHST receive voting power at the same rate as normal GHST. This resolves the above-discussed issue, should provide additional borrowing liquidity on Aave, and ensure that we can get quorum on future votes as more GHST moves to Aave.
Are there any downsides to this proposal?
Full disclosure: I am one of the Vault Managers of the Gotchi Vault, which currently has a significant amount of GHST staked for frens. We have not moved any of this GHST to Aave/wapGHST yet, due to this voting power concern.

> The current method is 1 GHST is 1 VP and they figure it out for all of the official LP’s It’s not added… it was deducted when we added a second staking mechanism. This is simply making sure we are tracking our GHST, in the other LP’s We’ve added every pair that gives rewards in the app, and we added a single stake, and five pairs. It’s still GHST, you are still staking your liquidity in the officially rewarded manner, we just need a core prop to make it happen, because we, the DAO are in charg…
