Technical Architecture of Staking

Staking $FAF

Staking gives you protocol ownership, governance through Faftarchy, and 50% revenue share . There is no instant unstake option.

Unstaking $FAF

Unstaking follows a 90-day linear unlock schedule. There is no instant unstake option.

How Linear Unstaking Works

When you initiate an unstake:

1. Unlock begins immediately — Your tokens start unlocking linearly over exactly 90 days (based on seconds elapsed)

2. Proportional revenue share — You continue earning revenue share on the portion of your stake that remains locked. As tokens unlock, your revenue share decreases proportionally

3. 6-hour adjustments — Revenue distribution and unlock value adjustments run via crank every 6 hours alongside the regular revenue distribution

4. VIP level impact — Once you initiate unstaking, the unlocking tokens are excluded from your VIP Level calculation

Example

If you unstake 900 FAF:

• Day 0: 900 FAF locked, earning full revenue share

• Day 30: 600 FAF still locked, earning 66% of original revenue share

• Day 60: 300 FAF still locked, earning 33% of original revenue share

• Day 90: 0 FAF locked, all tokens fully unlocked and available to withdraw
