Kadpad Staking: Your Key to Exclusive Access

Welcome to the heart of the Kadpad ecosystem. Our staking tiers are designed to be simple, fair, and powerful, rewarding your commitment with exclusive access to the most promising new projects on Kadena. By staking your $KPAD, you're not just supporting the platform—you're securing your place at the forefront of innovation.

Please note: Upon staking your tokens, provide your email on the staking page so you can be notified when you are whitelisted for a project sale that is live on Kadpad.

In White: You will be shown your $KPAD balance.
In Blue: Your staking dashboard (Amount staked, Penalty & lock period)
In Orange: Top Stakers by balance.
In Green: Where to put your email address to be notified when you are whitelisted for a project.

Core Staking Mechanics

IDO Eligibility: To participate in any IDO, users must have their $KPAD tokens staked.
Mandatory Lock-up: All staked $KPAD tokens will be locked for a mandatory period of 1 year. During this time, tokens cannot be withdrawn. This ensures long-term commitment to the ecosystem.

Early Unstaking Penalty Mechanism

While we encourage a long-term vision, we understand that circumstances can change. Should you need to unstake your $KPAD before the 1-year lock-up period is complete, an early unstaking penalty will be applied.

Penalty Mechanism Details

Initial Penalty: 100%
Daily Linear Reduction: The penalty decreases by approximately 0.274% per day, reaching 0% on Day 365.
Precise Formula: The smart contract calculates the precise penalty using the formula: Penalty % = 100% - (~0.274% × days_staked)
Token Burning: All tokens collected from penalties are permanently removed from circulation (burned).
Immediate Effect: Early unstaking immediately removes the user from all tier pools and revokes eligibility for any upcoming IDOs.
Real-time Updates: Your personal staking dashboard will always display your current penalty percentage and the net amount of tokens you would receive if you unstaked.

How It Works: The Allocation Draw

For every project launch, a set number of allocation spots are reserved for our stakers. The lottery system is straightforward and transparent:

Node Tier: All stakers in this tier are entered into a dedicated draw. For each launch, 10 winning wallets will be randomly selected from this pool to receive an allocation.
Cluster Tier: All stakers in this tier are entered into their own separate draw. For each launch, 25 winning wallets will be randomly selected from this pool.

Your odds of winning in each tier depend on the total number of participants in that specific tier's pool for each launch.

The Chainweb Advantage: Guaranteed Access

This is our premium tier for those who want certainty. As a Chainweb staker, you bypass the lottery entirely. You are guaranteed an allocation in every single project we launch. The total allocation pool reserved for this tier is divided equally among all Chainweb members, ensuring you never miss an opportunity.
