What staking would do
Staking places HOODP into a dedicated reward vault. The proposed vault receives an allocation of net fees from protocol-owned liquidity. Stakers share that allocation under a published accounting rule.
This is application staking, not validation of Robinhood Chain. Staking HOODP does not mean you are securing the chain or receiving network validator rewards.
Stake in the demo
- Open Staking and select the Stake tab.
- Enter a HOODP amount or use Max for the available demo balance.
- Review the amount and confirm the local demo action.
- Available HOODP decreases and staked HOODP increases by the same amount.
- Simulate a fee epoch from the dashboard or rewards page to see a new sample allocation.
How the demo allocates staking rewards
The demo allocates half of protocol-owned gross LP fees to a staking pot, assuming no operating costs. Your share uses your current staked HOODP relative to your stake plus 490,000 fixed example HOODP staked by other participants.
This snapshot simplification is for exploration. A live staking contract should checkpoint reward-per-token accounting and fund rewards before making them claimable. Funding, time weighting, zero-stake handling and reward duration must be specified and tested.
Demo staking reward = protocol fee pot × 50% × your stake / (490,000 + your stake)Claim rewards without changing your stake
Review your available staking rewards, then confirm the demo claim to credit example USDG to the available account balance. Your staked HOODP stays deposited. Repeating a claim cannot pay the same balance again.
USDG is the illustrative payout asset. The final payout asset and conversion strategy have not been selected. There is no fixed APR or minimum payout promised by this interface.
Unstake without losing earned rewards
Switch to Unstake, enter an amount no larger than your stake, and review the returned HOODP. Confirming moves that principal back to the available demo balance. Existing staking rewards remain claimable separately.
There is no lock, cooldown or exit penalty in the demo. Those are not finalized mainnet terms. If the final design adds any restriction, users must see it before staking.
Separate staking and holder balances
In the demo, staked HOODP is excluded from your wallet-holder allocation. HOODP in LP custody is excluded too. This prevents accidental duplicate eligibility merely because the same tokens are counted under multiple custody addresses.
Whether future stakers can also earn holder rewards is a policy decision. The current example keeps the categories distinct and does not claim a finalized distribution rule.
