Staking
Staking is the primary mechanism through which RAX token holders participate in the protocol.
It aligns long-term engagement with access, incentives, and governance while reducing short-term speculative behavior.
Purpose of Staking
Staking serves multiple functions within RAX:
Access control for protocol features
Alignment between usage and participation
Distribution of incentives
Governance participation
Staking is designed to reward sustained involvement rather than passive holding.
What Staking Enables
By staking RAX tokens, users may unlock:
Access to advanced analytics and tools
Eligibility for protocol rewards
Participation in governance decisions
Priority or increased usage limits
The exact set of enabled features may evolve over time.
Staking Rewards
Staking rewards are distributed from the dedicated staking allocation.
Rewards may be influenced by:
Amount staked
Duration of staking
Network participation conditions
Reward parameters are transparent and subject to governance.
Locking and Unstaking
Staked tokens may be subject to:
Lock-up periods
Cooldown intervals before unstaking
These mechanisms are designed to reduce sudden liquidity shocks and align long-term incentives.
Reward Distribution Mechanics
Rewards may be distributed:
Continuously or in epochs
Directly to wallets or auto-compounded
Based on predefined schedules
Specific mechanics are documented as part of protocol configuration.
Risks and Considerations
Staking does not eliminate risk.
Considerations include:
Market risk of the token
Protocol and governance risk
Lock-up related illiquidity
Users should evaluate staking within their overall risk framework.
Summary
Staking is the core participation mechanism in RAX.
It enables access, governance, and incentives while encouraging long-term alignment between users and the protocol.
