Staking

The allocation exists today. The program does not.

Live, and clear about what is not.
A trade on the degen.zone curve pays about 4.19% all in. About 0.34% of that goes to degen.zone, about 0.84% to Meteora, and the rest, about 3.02% of volume, reaches the protocol. After graduation, at about 80 SOL raised, trading moves to a Meteora DAMM v2 pool that charges 1% regardless of the curve tier. Meteora keeps 20% of that, and the rest is split by liquidity share between the protocol's locked position and degen.zone's, so about 0.52% of volume reaches the protocol. The protocol's take per trade falls at graduation. It funds holder payouts in tokenized stocks, protocol-owned liquidity, a staking reserve and operations, in a fixed ratio the treasury program enforces. Staking itself is planned, phase 2: the allocation is set aside, but no staking program is deployed and nothing accepts a deposit. Values that have not been read from the chain render as a dash with the reason beside them.

Not available yet

Staking is phase 2 of the roadmap. Its allocation, a fixed share of what the protocol receives, is already a leg of the treasury split, transferred to a pinned staking wallet on every distribution, so the money is separable today. The program itself is not deployed: nothing on this site accepts a stake, and no reward rate exists.

The staking page carries the live side of this: how much has been set aside so far, read from the staking wallet on chain, with the address and an explorer link beside it. This guide describes the design; that page shows the money.

What is planned

  • Stake $FLUX; earn a stream of rewards intended to be paid in tokenized stock, funded from the staking share of the treasury split.
  • Checkpointed reward-per-token accounting: a new stake earns nothing from before its deposit.
  • No lock, no cooldown, no exit fee. Withdrawing principal never depends on a reward transfer succeeding.
  • A protocol pause blocks new stakes but never blocks withdrawals or funded claims.
  • Funded time that passes while nobody is staked is queued for the next funded period rather than lost.
  • Staked $FLUX is excluded from the holder snapshot, so a token cannot earn twice. Under holding-time weighting that exclusion applies per sample: a token staked at one snapshot is simply not in that sample.

How it gets connected

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, so no program upgrade is needed to connect it and none is planned.

What is not promised

No launch date, no reward rate, no minimum. When the program ships this guide is rewritten from its tests, not from its plan.
