$ATLAS Staking
Stake your $ATLAS tokens to earn a share of protocol trading fee revenue. The staking system uses epoch-based reward distribution with a maturation period and burn mechanism on unstaking.
How It Works
- Stake $ATLAS — Lock your tokens and start the maturation process
- Wait for maturation — After a configurable number of epochs, your stake becomes "Active"
- Earn rewards — Active stakers receive a share of protocol revenue each epoch
- Claim rewards — Withdraw your accumulated rewards anytime
- Unstake — Receive your $ATLAS back, minus a burn penalty
Staking Lifecycle
| State | Earns Rewards? | Unstake Burn Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Pending | No | Higher (penalty for early exit) |
| Active | Yes | Lower / None |
Revenue Distribution
Trading fees collected when positions are opened flow to the protocol treasury. A portion of this revenue is distributed to stakers each epoch:
Your reward = (your_staked_amount / total_active_staked) × epoch_revenue
Only Active stakers (past maturation) participate in reward distribution.
Key Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Minimum stake | Minimum amount of $ATLAS required to stake |
| Maturation period | Number of epochs before stake becomes active |
| Pending burn rate | Burn rate for unstaking before maturation (higher) |
| Active burn rate | Burn rate for unstaking after maturation (lower) |
These parameters are stored in protocol configuration and may change over time. Check the Staking page for the current values before staking or unstaking.
