Stake & Earn

​

Overview

Stake app tokens → earn 70% of trading fees. Your share is proportional to how much you’ve staked vs. total staked.

---

​

How Staking Works

1. Trading fees (1%) are collected on all transactions
2. 70% of fees flow to the app’s staking vault
3. Rewards distributed proportionally by stake size
4. Claim anytime — no lock-up period

---

​

Your Earnings

​

Calculation

Your share of rewards: $$\text{Your Rewards} = \frac{\text{Your Stake}}{\text{Total Staked}} \times \text{Total Fees} \times 0.70$$

Staking Step-by-Step

​

Step 1: Hold App Tokens

First, you need app tokens to stake:

• Buy on bonding curve (if raising)
• Trade on DEX (if live)
• Receive from others

​

Step 2: Go to App Page

Navigate to the app whose tokens you want to stake.

​

Step 3: Find Staking Section

Scroll to the “Stake” section on the app detail page.

​

Step 4: Enter Amount

​

Step 5: Start Earning

Your tokens are now staked and earning rewards!

​

Claiming Rewards

Rewards accumulate and can be claimed anytime.

​

How to Claim

1. Go to the app’s detail page
2. Find the “Rewards” section
3. See your claimable balance
4. Click “Claim”
5. Confirm the transaction

​

Claim Frequency

• No minimum claim amount
• Claim whenever you want
• Unclaimed rewards don’t expire
• Consider gas costs for small claims

---

​

Unstaking

You can unstake anytime with no lock-up period.

​

How to Unstake

1. Go to app’s staking section
2. Click “Unstake” tab
3. Enter amount to withdraw
4. Confirm transaction
5. Tokens returned to your wallet

​

Considerations

• No penalty for unstaking
• Stop earning on unstaked amount immediately
• Claim rewards before unstaking (or they remain claimable)

---

​

Multiple Stakes

You can stake in multiple app vaults simultaneously.

​

Managing Multiple Stakes

Visit your Dashboard to see:

• All your staked positions
• Rewards per vault
• Total staked value

​

Diversification

Benefits of staking across apps:

• Spread risk across tokens
• Earn from multiple trading volumes
• Support multiple communities

​

Rewards Distribution

​

How It Works

1. Fees collected in each epoch (time period)
2. Snapshot taken of staker balances
3. Rewards allocated proportionally
4. Users claim their share

​

Timing

• Rewards accrue continuously
• Claimable as they accumulate
• No specific claim windows

​

Staking vs Holding

---

​

Yield Expectations

Yields depend on:

​

Trading Volume

Higher volume = More fees = Higher yield

​

Your Stake Percentage

Larger stake = Bigger share of rewards

​

Total Staked

Less total staked = Each staker gets more

---

​

Tips

• Stake what you’d hold anyway — staking doesn’t change price risk
• Check trading volume — more volume = more fees
• Compound — reinvest ELTA rewards into more tokens
• Watch your positions — dashboard shows all your stakes

---

​

Comparing to veELTA

You can do both:

• Stake app tokens for app-specific rewards
• Lock ELTA as veELTA for protocol-wide rewards

---

​

Tax Considerations

Track:

• Date and amount of each reward claim
• Value of rewards at time of claim
• Original cost basis of staked tokens
