Stake PAPER

The normal app flow uses the session-key route for staking actions. The documentation states there is no staking minimum, cooldown or lockup in the standard staking model.

Unstake

Unstaking returns PAPER to the wallet balance immediately and stops future reward accrual while leaving already accrued USDC rewards claimable.

Claim USDC rewards

Trading-related staking revenue accrues through the staking reward accounting and can be claimed into the Papertrade Exchange balance before withdrawal to HyperCore.

How rewards are distributed

The Exchange accumulates the staker share of eligible protocol revenue and forwards it into PaperStaking. Distribution then advances the global reward-per-share accumulator for stakers.

Reward math

The docs describe rewards as proportional to staked balance and time in the pool, without boosts, lockup tiers or multipliers.

Stake-share accounting

A staker's economic share depends on the amount of PAPER staked relative to total staked PAPER when distributions are accounted for. Rewards therefore depend both on protocol revenue and on how the staking pool changes over time.

Claiming vs unstaking

Claiming realizes accrued USDC reward accounting. Unstaking changes the PAPER balance participating in future distributions. They are separate actions: a user can stop future staking participation while already accrued rewards remain claimable under the documented accounting.
