Presale (200M STA - 20%) - Allocated for initial capital raising and early supporters. Dev/Marketing (80M STA - 8%) - Reserved for development costs, team, and marketing efforts. Community/Airdrop (70M STA - 7%) - For community rewards, airdrops, and ecosystem growth.

​
Emission Schedule

Year 1: Bootstrap Phase - Higher emissions (~6M STA/week) to attract initial liquidity and build foundation Year 2: Growth Phase - Steady emissions (~4M STA/week) as protocol matures with sustainable growth Year 3: Maturity Phase - Optimized emissions (~2.5M STA/week) for long-term sustainability Beyond Year 3: Tail Emissions - Minimal perpetual rewards (0.1-1% of supply) to ensure liquidity providers always have incentives

​
Earning STA

​
As a Liquidity Provider

Provide liquidity to pools and stake your LP tokens to earn:
  • STA emissions based on gauge votes
  • Trading fees from swaps
  • Boosted rewards (up to 2.5x) by locking STA for veSTA
  • External incentives from protocols

​
As a veSTA Voter

Lock STA to get veSTA and earn:
  • 100% of trading fees from pools you vote for
  • Rebase rewards (15% of weekly emissions)
  • Bribe rewards from protocols seeking votes
  • Governance power to direct emissions

​
As a Protocol

Incentivize voters to direct emissions to your pools:
  • Add bribes to attract votes
  • Get STA emissions directed to your token pairs
  • Build deep liquidity at predictable costs
  • Create long-term sticky liquidity

​
veSTA: Voting Power

Lock STA to receive veSTA voting power. Longer locks = more power.

​
Lock Duration vs Power

Lock DurationVoting PowerExample (10,000 STA)
1 week~0.5%48 veSTA
1 year25%2,500 veSTA
2 years50%5,000 veSTA
4 years (MAX)100%10,000 veSTA
Voting power decreases linearly over time as you approach unlock. Rebases help maintain your power.

​
Formula

Voting Power = Locked STA × (Remaining Lock Time / Max Lock Time)

Where:
- Max Lock Time = 4 years (208 weeks)
- Remaining Lock Time = weeks until unlock
Example: Lock 10,000 STA for 2 years (104 weeks)
  • Initial voting power = 10,000 × (104/208) = 5,000 veSTA
  • After 1 year (52 weeks left) = 10,000 × (52/208) = 2,500 veSTA
