Barracuda Staking
Stake your BRC through two different models: regular BRC staking for token-based yield, or BRC staking for fixed BNB rewards, subject to available BNB reward capacity.
Lock your BRC for a chosen staking period and earn staking rewards on-chain. This model is designed for users who want a more classic staking experience with standard and premium reward paths.
In a future phase, users will be able to stake BRC for exactly 180 days and receive fixed BNB rewards, provided their BRC amount and GTK holdings meet the required tier.
Regular BRC staking allows early unstake with penalties, while BNB staking remains locked until maturity and does not support early withdrawal.
Regular BRC Staking
Regular staking lets users lock BRC for a chosen term and earn on-chain rewards through the platform’s standard or premium reward paths.
- • Standard matured unstake uses the base 5% annualized reward path.
- • Premium matured unstake uses GTK-based reward boosts if eligible.
- • Early unstake does not receive reward.
- • Early unstake applies penalty according to contract rules.
- • Final reward is calculated fully on-chain during unstake.
- • User approves BRC to the Manager contract.
- • User stakes BRC from current wallet balance.
- • Contract records amount, start time, and duration.
- • On unstake, contract checks whether the stake matured.
- • Matured stakes can receive reward depending on the selected unstake path.
| When unstaking | Penalty | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Before 30 days | 10% | No reward |
| After 30 days but before maturity | 5% | No reward |
| After maturity | 0% | Standard or Premium reward path |
Penalties are applied by the contract automatically. Standard and premium reward logic is only relevant once the stake has matured.
| GTK held | Minimum BRC stake | Approx. annualized rate |
|---|---|---|
| 10,000 GTK | 500,000 BRC | 6.5% |
| 50,000 GTK | 1,000,000 BRC | 8% |
| 100,000 GTK | 2,000,000 BRC | 10% |
BRC Staking for Fixed BNB Rewards
This staking model locks BRC for a fixed 180-day period and pays a fixed BNB reward depending on the user’s GTK balance and BRC staking tier.
| Tier | Minimum GTK held | Minimum BRC staked | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | 500,000 GTK | 10,000,000 BRC | 1 BNB |
| Tier 2 | 1,000,000 GTK | 20,000,000 BRC | 2 BNB |
| Tier 3 | 5,000,000 GTK | 50,000,000 BRC | 5 BNB |
Fixed BNB staking stays locked for the full 180-day term, and rewards are released only once the position reaches maturity.
- • Users qualify by meeting both the required GTK holdings and BRC staking tier.
- • Eligible BRC is locked into a fixed 180-day staking position.
- • The contract reserves the corresponding fixed BNB reward for that tier.
- • Qualification and reward allocation are handled fully on-chain.
- • Once the term is completed, the user receives BRC back together with the fixed BNB reward.
- • Fixed BNB staking is a future feature and is not active at launch.
- • Availability depends on available BNB reward capacity in the contract.
- • Eligibility is determined fully on-chain at the time of staking.
- • Tier qualification is based on GTK holdings and BRC stake amount.
- • Rewards are fixed by tier, not percentage-based.
- • BRC remains locked for the full 180-day term, with rewards released at maturity.
Staking — FAQ
Staking tools will become available after the protocol goes live and the contract staking schedule unlocks. No wallet connection is needed during pre-launch.
