$NOVIQ

Staking and treasury

Stake from your own wallet and earn a share of real network revenue. The treasury turns compute margin and fees into buybacks, burns, and USDC yield.

Self-custody staking

Staked $NOVIQ stays in an on-chain vault that only your wallet can withdraw from. There is no server that holds your funds, and no admin key that can move, seize, or slash your stake. Stakers earn a share of real network revenue, not inflationary emissions.

How rewards accrue

The staking contract uses the well-worn accumulator pattern (a MasterChef-style accRewardPerShare) so rewards are distributed pro-rata to everyone staked at the moment revenue arrives. When the treasury funds rewards, the accumulator increases and every staker's claimable balance grows in proportion to their share.

Real yield

Rewards are funded from actual revenue via a fund-rewards call, paid in USDC. If nothing is staked, there is nothing to fund - rewards only exist because real work was paid for.

Actions

Stake

Deposit $NOVIQ into your vault and start earning a share of funded rewards.

Unstake

Withdraw principal after the unstake cooldown (configurable, capped at 7 days) since your last stake.

Claim

Collect accrued USDC rewards to your wallet at any time.

Compound

Restake rewards in one step - available only when the reward token equals the stake token.

The treasury

The treasury is where the compute margin and a share of $NOVIQ trading fees collect. Its policy is simple and split down the middle:

50%

Buys back $NOVIQ from the market and burns it, permanently removing supply

50%

Paid to stakers in USDC as real yield

live

Burn, buyback, and staked totals surface on the treasury dashboard

Preview until wired

The treasury dashboard renders with clearly-labelled preview figures until the on-chain indexer is connected, at which point burned, bought-back, and staked totals update live.

Self-custody guarantees

Only you withdraw. Principal lives in a vault keyed to your wallet; no operator path can move it.
No slashing. There is no admin function to seize or reduce your stake.
Core tokens are protected. The owner cannot rescue or withdraw the stake and reward tokens - only unrelated tokens sent in by mistake.

Audit gate

Self-custody is enforced by the contract's construction, but custody of real value waits on an audit before mainnet. See Token and economics for the full revenue model.
