Reward streams

Launch stream#

At activation the launch budget is divided by 365 days to obtain a per-second integer rate. Reward releases are bounded by locked inventory. At the finish timestamp any remaining division dust is released. This is a fixed funding budget, not inflation.

Active time and pauses#

When totalShares is zero, no rewards release. The vault records pausedAt. The next deposit shifts stream timestamps by the relevant pause duration before new shares are minted. Empty-vault time therefore extends the calendar finish time; “365 days” means active staking time.

An empty vault begins in a paused state at activation. The first depositor does not receive all the time that elapsed between graduation and their deposit as a windfall.

Supplemental stream#

Only ReserveVault can fund supplemental rewards, and only through the SHOOK callback. Each accepted funding action first accrues old rewards, then adds the new amount to the remaining locked supplemental balance and schedules that combined amount over seven days.

Repeated funding resets the supplemental finish and rate for the remaining budget. It does not restart the launch stream or confiscate already released rewards. Supplemental funding during an empty interval remains locked and its schedule resumes with staking.

Accounting invariant#

The token balance backs active share value, locked launch rewards, locked supplemental rewards, and any unaccounted transfers. totalRewardsFunded increases only at activation and authenticated supplemental funding. totalRewardsReleased and totalRewardsClaimed are different counters: rewards can be released and compounded without being claimed.

Direct token transfers#

After activation, sending SHOOK directly to StakingVault does not increase principal, mint shares, or fund a reward stream. It appears as unaccountedShook. There is no general user recovery or sweep function for these tokens. Use stake for deposits and an authenticated callback route for supplements.
