ProtocolMesh

Stake once. Earn compute every hour.

Stake the protocol token without paying its transfer fee. Once it matures, it earns USDC-backed credits every hour, in proportion to how long it has been in the pool.

How staking earns

Rewards follow how long stake has been in the pool, not when it arrived.

  1. Stake the token.

    Staking is fee-exempt: the token's transfer fee is refunded in the same transaction. Unstaking is fee-exempt and instant too.

    no fee in, no fee out

  2. Let it mature.

    New stake starts earning after 24 hours. Up to 4 maturing lots are tracked at once; one more merges into the newest and restarts its clock.

    buying in before a payout earns nothing

  3. Earn by time-weighted share.

    After each hourly epoch the stakers' share of fees is allocated by time-averaged stake, and a merkle root of what everyone is owed is published on-chain.

    one epoch an hour

  4. Claim, then spend or sell.

    One claim collects every epoch you have earned: to your API balance to spend on any model, or to your wallet as $CREDIT to list on the market.

    credits stay claimable after you unstake

Staking also lowers your fee

The gateway fee on what you spend falls as your matured stake grows.

Tiers use matured stake and refresh every few minutes. When you unstake, your newest stake leaves first, so the part that is already earning keeps earning.

Earning more credits than you use?

Claim them to your wallet as $CREDIT and list them below $1.00. Buyers fill the cheapest listings first, and you are paid in USDC.
