A separate token with a separate purpose

GGT stands for Grape Governance Token. Native Grape GGT has 18 decimals and a fixed supply of 27,000,000,000 GGT. Its standard token interface is separate from native GRP. GRP is still needed to pay gas when sending, locking, or voting with GGT.

The native GGT contract is 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000047279. Use it only on Grape Mainnet, chain ID 47273. BSC GGT has a different contract address.

Holding and locking

Holding GGT and actively locking it are different states. The native staking lock records positions that can contribute to governance weight and be linked to one validator reward address. A lock cannot be transferred while it is active.

Requesting release immediately removes the position from active weight. Withdrawal follows a 21-day consensus-time release delay. Review the amount, linked address, and release conditions before approving a lock.

Governance is not consensus

GGT holder voting does not directly give an account a validator’s consensus vote. Validator membership, consensus voting power, fee reward weight, and governance ballots have different rules.

Native GGT governance records proposals and results on chain. Circle also has an application-level proposal workflow. Learn the differences in Grape governance before assuming a vote automatically changes protocol code.
