The reserve is filling.
The product is not built.
No deposit possible1% of eligible trading volume is set aside for staking on every distribution the treasury makes, starting at launch. What that money will eventually pay for does not exist yet. This page states both halves, and shows the one number that is real.
No treasury exists yet
Fixed in the treasury program. No setter, no governance vote, no exception.
Nothing accepts a deposit
Intended in tokenized stocks. Not built.
Already moving.
Already separable.
The staking allocation is not a proposal. It is one of four equal quarters of the 4% protocol fee, and the treasury pays it out to its own wallet every time it distributes.
The 1% staking allocation is fixed in the treasury program and is set aside on every distribution. Staking itself is phase 2: no program is deployed, nothing accepts a deposit, and no reward rate exists.
A trade pays the creator fee.
An eligible trade on the degen.zone curve pays a 4% creator fee to the treasury. It is the protocol's only source of revenue.
Distribution cuts it into four equal quarters.
One of them, 1% of volume, is the staking leg. The four ratios are compile-time constants in the treasury program and there is no instruction that changes them.
The staking leg leaves the treasury immediately.
On every distribution that quarter is transferred straight out to the wallet recorded on chain in the treasury account. The money is separable today, before any staking program exists.
It waits there, in the open.
The figure at the top of this page is that wallet balance, read from the chain on request. Its address is below with an explorer link, so the number can be checked without trusting this page.
Written down.
Not built.
What the staking program is meant to do when somebody writes it, taken from the protocol study this project is a port of. None of it is deployed. Read it as a statement of intent that can be held against us later, not as a feature list.
Read the staking guide ↗A stream, not a promise.
Rewards accrue per staked token while a funded period runs, from one shared accumulator that is checkpointed on every deposit and every withdrawal. Nobody is paid from a number the program cannot prove it holds.
Nothing retroactive.
Accrual starts at the moment of the deposit. Staking today earns nothing from a period that was funded before it, however large that period was.
No lock, no cooldown, no exit fee.
Principal can be withdrawn at any time. Withdrawing is a separate instruction from claiming rewards, so the two never have to succeed together.
Getting your tokens back cannot fail.
A reward transfer that fails must never trap principal, and a governance pause is designed to stop new stakes without ever stopping a withdrawal.
Empty time is queued, not burned.
Funded time that passes while nobody is staked is carried into the next funded period instead of being paid to nobody.
What it pays.
What it cannot do.
Both of these are decided today, so neither has to wait for the program to exist.
Staked tokens will not earn the holder basket as well.
The holder snapshot excludes the staking contract balance, so a token that is staked is not counted as a held token in the same epoch. The two reward channels are designed never to overlap, and nothing is paid twice.
Rewards are intended to be paid in tokenized stocks, bought with the reserve that is accruing now. That is the stated intent for the product, not a deployed mechanism: no instruction pays a staking reward today.
How the holder snapshot works ↗Connecting it later needs no program upgrade.
The staking destination is a settable wallet on the treasury account, not an address compiled into the program. When a staking vault exists it becomes that wallet with one authority call. No program upgrade is needed to connect it, and none is planned.
That is a property you can check rather than a claim you have to accept: the destination is a field on the treasury account, and both the account and the wallet it names are listed below.
Check it yourself.
Addresses appear once the accounts exist. Nothing here is proof of a live deployment.

What this page will not tell you.
Not when. Staking is phase 2, which means after launch, and a phase number is not a schedule. Not how much. No return figure of any kind appears on this site, for staking or for anything else, because none exists and none can be honestly promised. Not a place to sign up. There is no waitlist and no notification list, because there is no system behind one. The figure at the top of this page is the thing to watch.
The allocation is transferred on every distribution, so the reserve only grows while the protocol trades. A quiet market sets aside less. Payouts of every kind depend on trading activity and can be zero.
