Why App Staking

Staking lets token holders lock their app tokens to signal commitment. For builders, it provides:
  • A measure of community conviction
  • Reduced circulating supply (less sell pressure)
  • A tool for tiered access or rewards

Setting Up Staking

Each app receives a staking vault as part of the token launch. To enable staking:
1

Deploy the staking module

The staking vault is deployed automatically during Phase B (token launch). No additional deployment is needed.
2

Configure parameters

Use your Safe to set staking parameters: minimum stake duration, reward rates (if applicable), and any access tiers.
3

Announce to your community

Let users know staking is live and what they get for participating.

What Users See

UnstakeWithdraw tokens after the lock period ends
View positionCheck locked amount, duration remaining, and any earned rewards
Stakers appear in holder analytics as committed participants, distinct from short-term traders.

Staking as a Builder Tool

Use staking data to:
  • Gate features by requiring a minimum staked balance
  • Weight governance by giving stakers more influence in app-level decisions
  • Reward loyalty with tournament entry, item discounts, or priority access
  • Track health by monitoring the ratio of staked to circulating tokens
A healthy staking ratio (30-50% of circulating supply) indicates strong community conviction. Track this in your analytics dashboard.
