Right now, when people stake tokens, they have to manually claim and restake their rewards to maximize earnings. Even though gas fees are reimbursed, this process is still inconvenient and can lead to missed earnings if rewards sit idle. It also increases the chance that people will withdraw their rewards and invest them elsewhere instead of keeping them in the staking system. Auto-compounding solves this by automatically reinvesting rewards at set intervals, so staked balances grow without any manual effort. This means higher APY, less work for users, and a stronger network since more tokens stay staked. It also reduces unnecessary transactions, which helps keep gas fees lower over time. Users can opt out if they prefer to claim rewards manually, and smart contract audits would ensure security. Auto-compounding makes staking easier, more efficient, and more profitable for everyone. ---

There should be an opt-in option if this is to implement. ---

100M voting weight. It would take someone who has the ability to make an OIP to begin with. ---
