Welcome to the latest DUO update, the week started off rocky we had some delays with the dividend payments, but it got picked up quickly the community keeps us on our toes and we appreciate that !
The divs got sorted and to reiterate, even when there is a delay you can rest assured that funds are safe, and when the delay is sorted you can expect higher divs to make up for the mised payment, when its all said and done our stakers are getting their allocation.
More burn
Recently the team announced a new burn mechanism a suggestion brought up by 
It was a great idea and we implemented it ASAP, you can read more about it in this DUO update post [@duo-curator/duo-token-update-sep-22-2025-feel-the-burn-fpn]. We take our stakers suggestions and concerns seriously and that is what helps DUO be so successful and we are still relatively early on!
But that is not the end of the deflation!
DUO burn lottery
Background/basics
We would like to Introducing the DUO burn lottery!
We promised to always find ways to improve and increase value for DUO stake holders while also getting us HP that can help with onboarding efforts, the O in DUO stands for Onboarding and it's a key pillar of the entire operations.
We are going with a 60% burn ratio, this means that every 10 DUO in lottery ticket sales causes 6 DUO to be permanently removed from circulation while the remainder is left as a prize pool.
We are starting out a pilot round but are open to suggestions and ideas, ideally we can have this lottery event happening more often, the more often it happens the more scarce DUO becomes!
Pilot DUO lottery rules
Ticket price is set at 2 DUO each.
Leave a comment on the post that is featuring the lottery (like this post)
One ticket per person.
Minimum participants 5
If under 5 participants the DUO is refunded or you can choose to stick around for a potential next round that could get at least 5. After each round you can ask for a refund
To participate send 2 DUO to
If we get at least 5 participants a draw will be made via wheelofnames.com
September 29th is the end of the first draw.
Winner will be announced in a DUO update post and their DUO prize distributed to them (assuming we meet the 5 participants minimum requirement)
Good luck and be sure to share this opportunity with your friends the more participants, the bigger the prize pool and the more we burn !
wheelofnames.com will be used temporarily while we are exploring or maybe even creating our own solution for a more fair and verifiable means of conducting the lottery draw , hivehub.dev has a raffle feature but it is broken , if you are aware of any other tools, ideal on chain please let us know !
The DUO team will not be participating in the lottery but as a sign of good gestures we are going to each donate 3 DUO to the pilot prize pool!

Important
DUO stakers are free to unstake as they please however we ask that when you do so you notify the DUO team, we set the curation up manually and letting us know keeps things fair for the other stakers.
Failure to do so will result in a 50% drop on curation on the remaining stake (Assuming its over 200 after the unstake as a reminder 200 is our minimum for curation) for a period of 1 week, there is no penalty for unstaking, only if it's done without notification to the DUO team.
