Staking rewards

Staking TOKEN

Stake any amount of TOKEN, at any time, with a wallet signature; the relayer submits it, so you need no gas. Staking and unstaking take effect at once: no cooldown, no lock-up, no vesting. While your TOKEN is staked, every distribution pays you a share of the new rewards in proportion to your stake. The token allows the staking contract to move it without a separate approval.

Where the rewards come from

Two sources, both paid in USDC:

1. The fee share. 50% of every fee: the 2% win fee taken from a winning close’s gain, and the 2% loss fee and 2% liquidation fee carved from what the LP receives. The rest goes to the team. Fees reach stakers only while the payout queue is empty and the LP can cover them; otherwise loss and liquidation fees are waived and a win fee stays in the LP, so queued winners always come first. A builder fee goes to the builder, not to stakers.
2. LP surplus. When the tracked LP grows above $10,000,000, the excess is passed to stakers. If the LP holds less cash than that excess at the time, the rest is queued in the stakers’ name and paid like any other claim.

Fees collect in the Exchange until a distribution moves them into staking. Our keeper distributes every 30 seconds when at least $100 is waiting. Rewards are not streamed: a stake placed just before a distribution shares in it, and one removed just before misses it.

Claiming

Your rewards accrue in the staking contract until you claim them. The app shows the claimable amount; a claim, signed with your wallet, moves the USDC to your exchange balance, from where you can trade with it or withdraw it.
