Torque Staking

Torque Staking allows users to stake both TORQ tokens and LP tokens to earn rewards while contributing to protocol governance and security. Stakers receive dynamic APR rewards based on lock duration and total value locked (TVL), with governance voting power proportional to their stake. The system features locked staking options with early exit penalties and cross-chain staking capabilities.

Token Types

Stake TORQ or LP tokens to collect rewards and amplify governance voting power.

Lock Periods

Lock periods from 30 days to 7 years with longer locks providing higher multipliers.

Dynamic APR

APR calculated dynamically based on lock duration multiplier and TVL scaling factor.

Early Exit Penalties

Early unstaking penalties decrease over time from 50% to 25% based on lock duration.

Governance Rights

Voting power proportional to staked amount and lock duration with 1x to 5x multipliers.

TVL Scaling

APR scales down as TVL increases to maintain protocol health and sustainable rewards.

APR Structure

Base APR (Before Multipliers)

  • TORQ Staking: 10% base APR
  • LP Staking: 8% base APR

Maximum APR (With Full Multipliers)

  • TORQ Staking: 200% maximum APR
  • LP Staking: 150% maximum APR

APR Calculation

Final APR = Base APR × Lock Duration Multiplier × TVL Scaling Factor

Reward Parameters

Lock Duration Multipliers

  • Minimum Lock (30 days): 1.0x multiplier
  • Maximum Lock (7 years): 5.5x multiplier
  • Linear interpolation between minimum and maximum

Vote Power Multipliers

  • Vote Power: Staked Amount × (1x to 5x multiplier based on lock duration)
  • Maximum Vote Power Multiplier: 5x for maximum lock duration

Early Exit Penalties

  • Formula: 50% - (lockDays / 2555) × 25%
  • Minimum Lock: 50% penalty
  • Maximum Lock: 25% penalty
  • Linear decrease over lock duration
