Community Staking

Community Staking is the primary entry point for users who want to participate in the protocol’s governance and earn rewards backed by real economic yield.

When you stake LDY, you receive veLDY, represented as an on-chain veNFT. This grants you:

  • Governance voting power

  • A share of protocol revenue via buybacks

  • Withdrawal queue priority & reduced exit fees

  • Eligibility for boosted vaults and early product access

Community staking aligns long-term participants with protocol growth.


How Rewards Work

The protocol collects performance fees from the RWA strategy. These fees are used to buy LDY from the open market.

80% of all repurchased LDY is distributed to Community Stakers (veLDY holders). The remaining 20% goes to the Council Pool to incentivize execution and risk oversight.

Stakers receive the majority of value generated by the protocol.
