Staker Rewards

On the Vana network, Stakers will receive 50% of total $VANA emissions from the DLP Root contract.

Stakers can either stake directly to the DLP Root contract or they can lock their $VANA in the nirVANA contract to mint nirVANA and gain access to weight voting and the API. nirVANA staking rewards will be distributed based on their proportional balance of nirVANA amongst users.

To limit exploits from predatory Stakers entering late in a period to mine rewards, the applied nirVANA balance will use the opening balance nirVANA for the epoch.

This means Stakers will not be eligible for rewards in the period that they first stake in, thus mitigating the ability for MEV by forcing stakers to stake prior to rewards being generated.

Additionally, stakers who chose to access the Pro-Tier API access, will be required to sacrifice their yield, redistributing the rewards amongst the other DLP stakeholders.
