Technical Architecture of Staking

hashtag
Staking $FAF

Staking of $FAF follows an epoch system to distribute rewards rather than being perpetual. The length of each epoch is 30 days. Users can stake anytime within the 30-day time frame of an epoch; however, their rewards will be time-weighted to remain fair for all.

At the end of each epoch, the rewards are calculated based on your time-weighted stake of $FAF and any bonus multiplier depending on your VP. (You can read more about it in the Reward Multiplier sectionarrow-up-right)

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

Why Linear Unstaking?

This mechanism ensures alignment between long-term token holders and Flash Trade's growth. By committing to a 90-day unlock schedule, stakers signal trust in the team and protocol direction while still earning revenue share throughout the unlock period.
