Staking Service Overview

The Staking service is a dual-contract system enabling users to stake MATE tokens and receive time-weighted rewards for participating as network fishers.

Architecture​

  • Staking Contract: User operations, access tiers, and governance
  • Estimator Contract: Epoch-based reward calculations with time-weighted algorithms

Key Features​

Multi-Tier Access​

  • Golden Staking: Exclusive golden fisher access with EVVM nonce sync
  • Presale Staking: 800 presale users, maximum 2 staking tokens each
  • Public Staking: Open access when enabled
  • Service Staking: Three-phase process (prepare → pay → confirm) plus direct unstaking

Security & Economics​

  • EIP-191 Signatures: Cryptographic authorization for all operations
  • Nonce Management: Per-user replay protection
  • Time-Delayed Governance: 24-hour administrative changes
  • Time-Locked Unstaking: 21-day waiting period
  • Fixed Price: 1 staking token = 5,083 MATE tokens
  • Enhanced Rewards: 2x rewards for stakers validating transactions

Reward System​

  • Epoch-Based: Time-weighted calculations ensuring fair distribution
  • Proportional: Rewards based on staking duration and amount
  • Mathematical Precision: Sophisticated algorithms for accurate reward allocation
