Staking & Rewards

Stake $BACK to earn your share of protocol revenue.

---

How Staking Works

1. Stake $BACK → Lock tokens in the staking contract

2. Earn Rewards → Receive share of buyback distributions

3. Claim or Compound → Take rewards or add to stake

4. Unstake Anytime → Withdraw your tokens when ready

Reward Mechanism

Where Rewards Come From

Unlike inflationary staking (minting new tokens), Silverback rewards come from real revenue:

Protocol Revenue
      ↓
  Buybacks ($BACK purchased from market)
      ↓
  Staking Pool (bought tokens deposited)
      ↓
  Distributed to Stakers

This means:

• Rewards are backed by actual profits

• No token supply inflation

• Sustainable long-term yield

Reward Distribution

Rewards are distributed proportionally based on:

• Your staked amount

• Total amount staked by all users

• Revenue generated in the period

Example:

• Total staked: 1,000,000 $BACK

• Your stake: 10,000 $BACK (1%)

• Period rewards: 5,000 $BACK

• Your rewards: 50 $BACK (1%)

APR Factors

Your actual APR depends on:

1. Protocol Revenue — More trading volume & profits = higher rewards

2. Total Staked — More stakers = rewards split more ways

3. Token Price — Affects buyback quantities

APR will vary based on these factors. Higher protocol usage generally means better staking returns.
