Staking is built into the n0ir dashboard. There is no separate staking page — you stake, unstake, and claim rewards right from your main profile view.

​
How It Works

The staking contract follows the Synthetix reward distribution model. The protocol owner funds reward epochs by depositing $N0IR into the contract, which distributes them proportionally to all stakers over the epoch duration.
  • Reward rate is calculated on-chain as rewardAmount / epochDuration
  • APR is dynamic — it depends on the total amount staked and the current epoch’s reward rate
  • Epochs last 30 days by default (configurable by the contract owner)
  • Rewards accrue every second and can be claimed at any time
APR fluctuates based on how much $N0IR is staked. More stakers = lower individual APR. Fewer stakers = higher APR.

​
Staking Mechanics

​
Stake

  1. Enter the amount of $N0IR you want to stake
  2. Approve the staking contract to spend your tokens
  3. Tokens are transferred to the on-chain staking contract on Base

​
Unstake

Unstaking uses a 7-day cooldown to prevent short-term farming:
  1. Request unstake — your tokens enter the cooldown period
  2. Wait 7 days — tokens remain locked during cooldown
  3. Complete unstake — after cooldown, claim tokens back to your wallet
You can cancel an unstake request at any time during the cooldown to re-stake immediately.

​
Claim Rewards

Earned rewards accumulate in real time. Click Claim to transfer accrued $N0IR rewards to your wallet. There is no lock or delay on claiming.

Dashboard View

The staking card on your dashboard shows:
FieldDescription
APRCurrent dynamic annual percentage rate
Your StakedAmount of $N0IR you have staked
Total StakedGlobal amount staked across all users
Pending UnstakeAmount in cooldown (if any), with available date
Earned RewardsClaimable $N0IR rewards
When no reward epoch is active, a banner indicates that staking is still available but no rewards are currently being distributed.

Contract Details

  • Chain: Base (chain ID 8453)
  • Model: Synthetix StakingRewards pattern
  • Cooldown period: 7 days
  • Epoch duration: 30 days (default)
  • Non-custodial: Tokens are held by the on-chain contract — not by n0ir
The staking contract is separate from the yield agent. Your staked $N0IR stays on-chain in the staking contract. Your USDC vault positions are managed by the agent through your smart account.
