Staking Settings

The Staking Settings section allows Admins to create, configure, and manage staking pools.
From here, Admins can define APR rates, lock durations, reward tokens, and staking limits. They can also pause/unpause the staking contract for emergency or maintenance needs.

Manage Staking Pools

The Manage Staking Pools table displays all existing pools, including both active and closed ones. Each row shows:

• Name – Pool identifier (e.g., Evergreen Staking, Yield Pool)
• Chain – The blockchain network where the pool is deployed
• Collateral – Token required to stake
• APR & Unlocked APR – Annual reward rate (locked vs. unlocked)
• Token Ratio – Staking-to-reward conversion rate
• Lock – Duration of the staking period
• Closing – Pool closing date/time
• Rewards Until – Date when reward distribution ends
• Reward Token – Token used for rewards
• Actions – Options to edit or configure the pool

Add Pool

Admins can create new staking pools by clicking Add Pool.

Step 1: Token Settings

In this step, Admins define the blockchain and token parameters:

• Chain – Select the blockchain network
• Staking Token – Token users will lock into the pool
• Reward Token – Token distributed as staking rewards

Admins can choose from available tokens via the dropdown menu:

Step 2: Pool Details

Admins configure pool parameters such as:

• Pool Name – Custom name for the pool
• APR Rates – Define base APR and APR after unlock
• Conversion Rate – Token staking-to-reward conversion ratio
• Staking Limits – Minimum and maximum staking amounts (per pool / per position)
• Time Configuration –
  • Staking End Time – When new positions can no longer be opened
  • Reward End Time – Final date for reward distribution
  • Lock Duration – Number of days tokens remain locked

Once filled, Admins can continue and preview the pool before final confirmation.

Pool Actions

From the Actions menu, Admins can configure existing pools with two options:

• Edit Staking Pool – Update pool parameters such as APR, lock duration, staking limits, or pool name.
• Set Token Ratio – Adjust the staking-to-reward conversion ratio for a specific pool.

Edit Staking Pool

Admins can modify details of an active pool through the Edit Staking Pool modal:

• Chain & Tokens – View and confirm the network, staking token, and reward token (not editable once deployed).
• Pool Name – Update the name of the pool for better identification.
• APR & APR After Unlock – Adjust reward rates. Validation ensures APR values do not exceed 100% and APR After Unlock cannot be higher than base APR.
• Staking Limits – Update maximum staked amount per pool and minimum staked amount per position. The system prevents saving if Max < Min.
• Time Configuration – Change staking end time, reward end time, and lock duration. Validation ensures reward end time is later than staking end + lock duration.

Note: APR, staking limits, and reward timelines require on-chain transactions. Metadata-only changes (like pool name) update instantly without a transaction.

Set Token Ratio

The Set Token Ratio modal allows Admins to adjust conversion between staked tokens and reward tokens:

• Current Token Ratio – Displays the most recent ratio applied to the pool.
• Chain Selector – Choose the blockchain network plan to update.
• New Token Ratio – Enter the updated percentage. Validation rules include:
  • Must be greater than 0%
  • Cannot exceed 100%
  • Must be a valid number

Once confirmed, the update triggers a blockchain transaction to apply the new ratio.

Adjusting the token ratio can be used to fine-tune reward distribution without altering APR values or pool durations.

Contract Controls

The Settings button opens administrative options, including:

• Pause Contract – Temporarily pause all staking actions (e.g., during upgrades or incidents)
• Unpause Contract – Resume staking operations

When paused, a banner appears in the UI with the option to Unpause Contract.

Pools Table

The pools table is the central management view. It provides filtering, pagination, and visibility into both active and closed staking pools.

Admins must ensure that reward timelines, APR values, and staking limits are configured correctly before deploying a new pool, as these settings directly impact user experience and smart contract interactions.

Validation Rules Summary

To ensure staking pools are configured properly, the system enforces the following validation rules:

• Pool Name – Must be between 3 and 30 characters.
• APR / APR After Unlock – Cannot exceed 100%. APR After Unlock must not be greater than base APR.
• Staking Limits – Max Staked Amount must be greater than Min Staked Amount.
• Reward End Time – Must be later than Staking End Time + Lock Duration.
• Token Ratio – Must be a valid number between 0% and 100%.

If validation rules are not met, Admins cannot proceed with creating or editing a pool until corrections are made.
