>We will be going with the staking of LP approach, so rather than needing to take a snapshot, you stake your LP in the pool contracts and get your staking limit. If you withdraw your LP after staked, it will also withdraw the equivalent amount in LINK based on how much LP you're withdrawing.
>The staking of LP tokens will be a permanent addition, giving larger staking allowances to those who purchase them. When we want to offer LinkPool to the general public, they will have a separate staking allowance outside the allowance of LP owners. For example, in the future we could have a 10mil LINK limit for LP owners and a 2mil limit for the general public, totalling a possible 12mil to be staked onto the platform.
>This means there will always be a utility to the LP token, as if you buy LP, you can always use it to stake into the pool to gain yourself an allowance. The general public will always be able to purchase LP to gain more of a staking allowance in the future.
>In-terms of voting in the future DAO, it will not be 1 person 1 vote. The voting will come from what LP you have staked in the pool. So for example if you have 10LP staked in LinkPool and you vote, that will add 10LP to the option you chose. You cannot vote if you don't have an active staking position on the platform.
>We will be writing this up in more detail soon in a Medium article. Happy to answer any questions.
tl;dr: There won't be a snapshot. Initial staking priority will remain the same for LP shareholders. After they open to the general public people will be able to increase their staking room by buying lp shares
