Staking Guide

Overview

Legendary UXBase NetworkUSDC RewardsBonuses + Caps

SKITTEN Staking lets you lock your SKITTEN into a non-custodial smart contract and earn USDC rewards. Your rewards are based on the USDC-equivalent value at stake-time (your principalUsdc), so your reward base does not change if price moves later.

Why stake-time USDC value?
  • If SKITTEN price drops, your reward base stays protected.
  • If SKITTEN price rises, the protocol stays solvent longer-term.
  • Predictable rewards and clearer sustainability.

How to Stake

Step-by-step

1
Connect your wallet
Click Connect and make sure you’re on Base.
2
Approve SKITTEN (one-time, but sometimes twice.)
This allows the staking contract to transfer SKITTEN from your wallet when you stake.
3
Enter your stake amount
Your stake creates a new lot with its own rewards timeline.
4
Optional: add bonuses
You can purchase bonus APR and time-limited multipliers (paid in USDC).
5
Confirm the transaction
Once confirmed, your lot becomes active and begins accruing rewards.
Tip
Each stake is independent

Staking multiple times creates multiple lots. This lets you ladder positions, choose different bonuses, and manage exits more flexibly.

Rewards & APR

Simple, transparent math

Paid in USDCSimple APRAccrues continuously

Rewards use simple interest, not compounding. Your displayed APR reflects the base tier APR plus any purchased bonuses and active multipliers.

Reward Base

The contract records your stake-time USDC value (principalUsdc) and calculates rewards off that value.

Accrual

Rewards accrue over time. You can claim rewards or withdraw your position anytime, subject to the fee rules.

Bonus Interest (APR Boost)

Optional add-on

Bonus interest is an optional purchase (paid in USDC) that increases APR for that specific lot.

Range
0% → 60% APR
Step size
6.0% APR increments
Scope
Applies to one lot, and can only be purchased at initial stake
Payment
USDC
Legendary move

Bonus interest is for users who want predictable yield. It’s optional, capped, and transparent.

Multiplier Boosts

Time-limited acceleration

Multipliers temporarily increase the reward rate for a set duration. When the boost expires, your lot returns to its normal APR.

Note
Multipliers never reduce base rewards

They only add on top while active. When they end, your lot continues normally.

Smart Contract Mechanics

How it stays sustainable

Non-custodialOn-chainCaps + buffersAuto-buyback logic
USDC Buffer First

Claims/withdrawals prioritize paying from the USDC buffer. Swaps are only used if needed, reducing unnecessary market impact.

Auto-Buyback with Excess USDC

When excess USDC accumulates above target thresholds on USDC inflows, the contract can buy back SKITTEN to support liquidity and treasury dynamics.

What the contract cannot do
  • It cannot move your funds without you initiating stake/claim/withdraw.
  • It cannot “rebase” your reward base after you stake.
  • It cannot secretly remove caps on boosts without code changes.
