Usual Staking Module

USUALx is the transferable token representing staked USUAL. Staking grants access to governance and to the protocol’s daily USUAL emission, distributed as 10% of the total USUAL issued each day. This mechanism mitigates dilution from broader issuance and rewards long-term participation.

USUAL can be staked or unstaked at any time without a mandatory lock-up. The DAO may, however, introduce an unstaking fee applied to withdrawn USUALx to discourage short-term behavior. ⅓ of the fees are redistributed to stakers.

Staked USUAL can optionally be locked to access protocol revenue through the Locking Module.
