Primer on Staking

You can relax, because this one is simple. Staking is the profit distribution mechanism of Vesq. It is designed as the dominant strategy for participants; the best thing to do will likely be to just stake, hold, and compound.

Let’s go over how it works:

Staking

To stake VSQ, you go to our website and select “stake.” You will send your VSQto the staking contract and receive xVSQ at a 1:1 basis. xVSQ is a transfer-restricted rebasing token and is not meant to be traded or used for anything except holding.

Unstaking

To unstake VSQ, you go to our website and select “unstake.” You send xVSQ back to the staking contract to receive VSQ at 1:1.

Rebase

The protocol distributes tokens by sending them to the staking contract without asking for xVSQ back. This increases the ratio of VSQ staked to xVSQ outstanding, and results in a rebase to correct the difference.

For example: there are 500k VSQ staked and 500k xVSQ outstanding. The protocol produced $5k profit for the day, which it uses to mint and back 5k VSQ. It sends those VSQ to the staking contract; there are now 505k VSQ staked and 500k xVSQ outstanding. xVSQ supply needs to increase by 5k, or 1%, to return to balance. So, xVSQ is rebased up by 1%.

The only caveat is that rebases occur retroactively. The end of epoch 100 triggers a rebase of profits from epoch 99. This delay lets you see what you’re missing if you want to unstake or what you’ll get if you want to stake.
