Staking Rewards

DECA is designed to reward long-term holders and liquidity providers through a sustainable, controlled staking rewards system. Our goal is to offer strong early incentives while ensuring that long-term token emissions remain tied to actual platform growth — not arbitrary inflation.

📈 Staking Allocation

Up to 1.5 billion DECA tokens — representing 75% of the total supply — are allocated for staking rewards. These rewards are not released upfront, but instead are minted gradually as users earn them through real participation.

This design:

• Prevents unchecked inflation

• Aligns token distribution with usage

• Creates long-term value for holders

🧩 Phased Reward Model

We’ve structured staking rewards in two phases:

1. Early Incentives – Fixed 20% APY

To attract early adopters and liquidity providers, staking initially offers a fixed 20% APY. This rate provides compelling returns during the early stage of platform growth and community building.

2. Adaptive Rewards – Volume-Based Dynamic APY

As trading activity scales, staking will shift into a dynamic, volume-sensitive reward model:

• Rewards adjust based on the DECA token 24-hour trading volume, liquidity, and usage.

• APY will range between 5% and 20%, updated regularly to match the real economic activity of DECA.

• This adaptive approach ensures sustainability and protects token value over time.

Updates to the reward rate are made by a designated Keeper (an off-chain script), ensuring transparent and algorithmic control rather than arbitrary decisions.

🎁 Tenure Bonuses for Loyalty

To further incentivise long-term staking, users can earn additional bonus rewards the longer they stay staked:

Time Staked	Bonus APY
3+ months	+0.75%
6+ months	+1.00%
9+ months	+1.25%
12+ months	+2.00%

These bonuses compound on top of the base APY and refresh again from month 12, rewarding users who commit to the long-term success of the DECA token and Decawin platform.

🔒 Responsible Emission Controls

The staking system is designed to protect DECA holders by:

• Enforcing a hard cap on staking emissions.

• Using short lock periods (e.g., 1 hour) to balance flexibility with commitment.

• Allowing dynamic APR adjustments only within a fixed range (5–20%).

• Updating reward logic manually via secure off-chain governance (i.e., the Keeper).

This ensures that token rewards are always proportional to actual usage and market growth, keeping inflation disciplined and predictable.

✅ The Bottom Line

DECA’s staking mechanism isn’t just about yield — it’s about aligning growth with real activity, incentivizing loyalty, and protecting long-term value for both users and investors.

By combining flexible rewards, algorithmic controls, and supply discipline, DECA creates a staking environment that scales with success — not hype.
