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.
