Core Benefits

• Passive Income: Earn 75% of all marketplace fees

• Governance Rights: Vote on platform decisions

• Fee Discounts: Reduced trading costs

• Community Status: Enhanced platform privileges

Staking Mechanics

Basic Requirements

interface StakingParams {
  minimumStake: 1,              // 1 $LYRA minimum
  lockPeriod: 0,                // No minimum lock time
  rewardDistribution: 'daily',  // Daily payouts
  unstakeCooldown: 86400,       // 24h withdrawal period
  compounding: 'optional'       // Auto-reinvestment available
}

Staking Process

1. Connect Wallet: Ensure Hyperliquid wallet connection

2. Select Amount: Choose $LYRA amount to stake

3. Confirm Transaction: Approve staking contract interaction

4. Receive Rewards: Start earning from next distribution cycle

Staking Flexibility

• No Lock Period: Unstake anytime (with 24h cooldown)

• Partial Operations: Stake/unstake specific amounts

• Multiple Positions: Hold different staking positions

• Reward Compounding: Automatic reinvestment options

Reward Distribution

Daily Reward Calculation

Individual Daily Reward = (Your Stake ÷ Total Staked) × Daily Fee Pool

Example:
- Your stake: 10,000 $LYRA
- Total staked: 1,000,000 $LYRA
- Daily fees: 8,000 $HYPE (75% of marketplace fees)
- Your reward: (10,000 ÷ 1,000,000) × 8,000 = 80 $HYPE equivalent

Reward Pool Sources

• Marketplace Fees: 75% of all 2.5% transaction fees

• Secondary Sales: NFT trading commissions

• Future Expansions: Gaming fees, partnership revenues

Reward Frequency

• Distribution: Daily automatic payouts

• Claiming: Manual or automatic claiming

• Compounding: Optional auto-reinvestment

• Tracking: Real-time reward accumulation
