Staking
Earn passive income from trading fees by staking your tokens. Every reward is backed by actual trading volume. Staking is available when the token creator enables it, which can happen at launch or at any time after.
How It Works
A creator enables staking for their token and chooses a staking share (1%–100% of their fee revenue while stake is active, default 20%).
Token holders stake their tokens with a lock period (7 to 180 days).
Trading fees flow through Blank's fee-splitter. When stake is active, the staking share goes into the rewards pool. If nobody is staking, that portion routes to the creator instead.
Rewards are distributed to stakers proportional to their weighted stake (amount × lock period multiplier).
Lock Periods & Multipliers
Longer lock periods earn a larger share of the reward pool. Multipliers increase your weighted stake, not the total rewards available.

Weighted Stake Math
Multipliers affect your weighted stake, not the reward pool size.
Example: 1,000 tokens staked for 90 days (1.75x) = 1,750 weighted stake
A half-year staker earns 2.5x the share of a week staker with the same token amount.
Fee Distribution
The staking share is configured by the creator when enabling staking. Those percentages apply while there is active weighted stake. If nobody is staking, the creator receives that portion instead and it does not accumulate for later stakers.
| Scenario | Platform | Creator | Stakers |
|---|---|---|---|
| No staking | 25% | 75% | — |
| 20% share (default) | 25% | 60% | 15% |
| 50% share | 25% | 37.5% | 37.5% |
| 100% share | 25% | 0% | 75% |
Example: a 20% staking share means 20% of the creator's 75% fee side routes to stakers while staking is active. If the pool has no active stakers, that slice routes to the creator for that period instead.
How Rewards Stay Fair
- Rewards are time-earned. New positions only earn from fees generated after they are active.
- Rewards do not build up as a windfall for the next staker. If nobody is staking, that staking share does not wait around for the next wallet that joins.
- When the pool has zero active stakers, the configured staking share routes to the creator for that period instead of accumulating in the pool.
- Rewards can be claimed before unlock once they cross the minimum claim threshold. The lock applies to your staked tokens, not to the SOL rewards you have already earned.
- APR shown in the app is an estimate based on recent trading volume, token price, and total staked, so it can move quickly.
Example
Here is a simple example with equal lock multipliers:
Alice stakes 100 tokens.
10 hours later, Bob stakes 150 tokens.
If 1 SOL of staking rewards was earned before Bob joined, Alice gets that full 1 SOL because she was the only active staker during that period.
If rewards are earned after both are staking, they split by stake size. With 100 tokens vs 150 tokens, the split is 40% to Alice and 60% to Bob.
If Alice waits a few days before claiming, she does not lose her share. Her rewards keep accumulating for her position until she decides to claim them.
Protocol Rules
- Multiple stake positions per user per token, each with independent lock periods
- Tokens are locked for the full chosen period, then can be fully or partially unstaked
- Staking share can be increased by the creator at any time, but never decreased
- Rewards are real yield from trading fees, not inflationary token emissions
- Trading fees are distributed to the staking rewards pool automatically every four hours when active stake exists; otherwise that configured portion routes to the creator
- Staking rewards must reach 0.01 SOL on production before they can be claimed; smaller balances keep accruing and display as 0 until then
- Minimum stake and unstake amount is 1 token
