How It Works

Four mechanisms that create long-term value for ARX holders

50/50 allocation reached at Era 1. After that, ARX Pool dominates.

Early stakers earn ARX for free. Later, you need ARX to earn ARX.

The Accumulation Forcing Function

Stakers Must Grow Holdings Over Time

Per era: +14.9% accumulation required

As threshold decays faster than rewards, the accumulation requirement rises. Stakers must continuously grow their ARX holdings to maintain yield.
