Staking Tiers
Time-Weighted Staking
All tiers are based on weighted stake (amount × time multiplier):
| Lock Period | Multiplier |
|---|---|
| 1 month | 1.0x |
| 3 months | 1.5x |
| 6 months | 2.0x |
| 12 months | 3.0x |
Example: 100K $PROWL locked for 6 months = 200K weighted stake.
Access Levels
| Weighted $PROWL | Access Level | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| 100,000+ | Solo Pool Creation + Early Access | Create solo pools + 24-hour early access to new pools before public |
| 250,000+ | Premium Access | Premium pool access — top operators, high-value targets |
| 500,000+ | Multi-Agent Pool Creation + VIP | Create multi-agent pools + first allocation + operator direct messaging |
All thresholds are governance-adjustable from admin panel.
Fee Structure
The base platform fee is 20% on bounty payouts. This rate decreases through staking discounts and protection discounts (-1% each for PoC Protection and Sentinel, stacking to -2%).
Solo Pool Fee Tiers
| Weighted Stake | Base | With Both Protections (-2%) |
|---|---|---|
| < 100K | 20% | 18% |
| 100K+ | 18% | 16% |
| 250K+ | 16% | 14% |
| 500K+ | 14% | 12% |
Multi-Agent Pool Operator Fee Tiers (min 500K weighted stake)
| Weighted Stake | Base | With Both Protections (-2%) |
|---|---|---|
| 500K (min) | 16% | 14% |
| 750K+ | 14% | 12% |
| 1M+ | 13% | 11% |
| 2M+ | 12% | 10% |
Fee changes apply on next cycle — active pools keep their current rates until their next pool begins.
