Staking & Emissions
Earn $MONSTRO by staking your tokens and supporting the ecosystem.
How Staking Works
Staking MONSTRO lets you earn from the protocol’s fixed emissions pool.
Each wallet has one active stake, and you can manage it however you like:
- Stake any amount
- Add more to your stake at any time
- Claim rewards whenever you want
- Compound rewards back into your stake
- Transfer your entire stake to another wallet
- Gift MONSTRO directly into someone else’s stake
When you add to an existing stake, the contract automatically adjusts it fairly based on time held.
There are no lock periods, but withdrawing early applies a decreasing penalty.
Tier Bonuses
Larger long-term stakes earn boosted rewards:
| Tier | Requirement | Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| Vault | 300,000 MONSTRO | +3% rewards |
| Fortress | 1,500,000 MONSTRO | +15% rewards |
| Kingdom | 3,000,000 MONSTRO | +30% rewards |
Your tier updates automatically when your stake crosses a threshold.
Emissions
Stakers earn from a dedicated MONSTRO emissions pool. Since MIP-1, rewards follow a fixed, declining schedule:
| From | Rewards per second | About per day |
|---|---|---|
| MIP-1 reset (October 2026) | 0.3 MONSTRO | 25,920 MONSTRO |
| April 2027 | 0.2 MONSTRO | 17,280 MONSTRO |
| October 2027 | 0.15 MONSTRO | 12,960 MONSTRO |
- Rewards continue at 0.15 MONSTRO per second until the pool is empty, expected around 2029. Part of the pool was burned at the reset.
- The pool is no longer refilled. Penalties and expired allocations are burned instead.
- Token supply is fixed. Emissions cannot ever increase max supply
You’ll see rewards accrue in real time and can claim or compound them anytime.
Early Withdrawal Penalty
The staking system uses a 2-year, linearly decreasing penalty.
- Withdrawing early applies a penalty
- The penalty shrinks every day and hits 0% at the 2-year mark
Every penalty is burned in full, permanently removing it from supply. This creates long-term alignment and deflationary pressure.
Before MIP-1, penalties were split 50% burned, 25% to the DAO treasury and 25% back to the emissions pool.
Legacy Allocations
Holders of past Monstro products who still have an unclaimed allocation can claim it straight into a stake until January 27, 2027. See Legacy Allocations.
Summary
Staking MONSTRO is simple:
- Stake and earn $MONSTRO continuously
- Add, claim, compound, or transfer anytime
- Tier bonuses reward larger commitments
- Penalties decline steadily over 2 years
- Emissions follow a fixed, declining schedule
- Every penalty is burned
It’s a long-term, sustainable system built entirely on-chain with no hidden mechanics.
