The PATH Protocol staking system provides a comprehensive incentive structure that:

1. Rewards Long-Term Commitment: Higher multipliers for longer lock periods

2. Incentivizes Governance: Bonus rewards for active voting participation

3. Supports Platform Growth: Special lock schedule for platform registration

4. Provides Flexibility: Multiple lock options to suit different user needs
