Long-Horizon Participation, Not Short-Cycle Yield Noise
The SVPBQ staking model is structured around minimum entry thresholds, lock commitment, reserved reward capacity, and time-based accrual logic designed for long-term protocol participation.
This is not an open-ended emissions surface. Reward capacity is reserved at stake entry, lock duration matters, and the model is intentionally designed to favor longer commitment over short-term cycling.
Staking Structure
The staking contract uses a clearly bounded participation model. Entry, capacity, lock timing, reward reservation, and withdrawal conditions are all defined in contract logic rather than implied through vague APR language.
1,000 SVPBQ Minimum
Users must stake at least 1,000 SVPBQ to open a staking position. This prevents trivial positions and keeps participation aligned with the intended model.
730-Day Base Lock
Reward-bearing withdrawal requires the base lock period to mature. This reinforces a longer participation horizon and reduces short-cycle churn.
Up to 8 Years
Reward accrual continues under the contract’s maximum time model, extending beyond the base lock period for longer-duration positions.
20% Maximum
The total reward cap is bounded by contract logic. The model does not expose unlimited emissions or undefined upside.
How Rewards Accrue
Reward behavior is split into two phases. The first phase builds toward a defined base reward during the lock period, while the second phase extends accrual toward the total maximum reward cap.
Up to 10% During Base Lock
During the first 730 days, staking positions accrue toward a maximum phase-one reward equivalent to 10% of principal, subject to time elapsed.
Extended Accrual Toward 20%
After the base lock period, accrual continues over the remaining time model until the total reward reaches the defined maximum cap of 20%.
Core Mechanics
The staking contract should be understood as a capacity-controlled reserve model. Stake size, available reward capacity, and position lifecycle all matter.
Capacity Is Reserved at Entry
When a user stakes, the contract reserves the maximum possible reward for that position. This means positions only open when sufficient reward capacity already exists.
Not Unlimited by Default
Total staking capacity is bounded through a configurable cap. This helps control aggregate exposure and prevents uncontrolled staking expansion relative to reward funding.
Principal Is Not the Reward
Withdrawals after maturity return principal plus earned reward, while reward accounting remains separated from the staked balance and tracked through reserved capacity logic.
Rewards Must Be Funded
Rewards are not auto-minted or magically emitted. The reward pool must be funded, and staking positions only open when that reward pool can cover reserved obligations.
Position Lifecycle
Every staking position moves through a defined lifecycle: stake entry, reserved reward allocation, time-based accrual, and then either cancellation or matured withdrawal.
| Stage | What Happens | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Stake Entry | User stakes at least 1,000 SVPBQ and the contract verifies that reward capacity is available. | Position opens and maximum reward is reserved. |
| Lock Period | The position remains active through the 730-day base lock and accrues reward over time. | Position builds toward phase-one reward. |
| Extended Accrual | After base lock, the reward model continues accrual toward the total maximum time horizon. | Reward can continue rising toward the 20% cap. |
| Cancel Before Maturity | User can cancel a non-withdrawn position before completion. | Principal is returned, reward is not paid. |
| Mature Withdrawal | User withdraws after lock conditions are satisfied. | Principal plus earned reward is transferred. |
Important Participation Notes
The staking page should communicate actual mechanics, not general crypto-language assumptions. These points matter for user understanding.
Understand the Route Before Participating
The staking layer is only one part of the protocol. Users should also understand token acquisition, allocation structure, and official access routes before participating.
