Time-Based Distribution
Post-deployment Time-Based Distribution Staking Protocol Management
Managing and Launching a Time-Based Distribution Staking Protocol
A Time-Based Distribution Protocol ensures rewards are gradually distributed over a predefined period rather than being instantly available. This setup helps prevent sudden sell-offs, promotes sustainable staking, and ensures controlled token issuance.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to:
Configure the protocol
Deposit rewards
Open the protocol for stakers
Start reward distribution
Manage protocol recovery
Understanding the Admin Panel
Metrics
Displays key statistics, including:
Total MP rewards over time → Shows how many rewards have been allocated.
Total staked MP → Displays the amount of staked tokens in the protocol.
APR / APY → Tracks the annual percentage rate and yield for stakers.
Publishing Process
This is where you initialize the staking protocol by completing the necessary steps to make it live.
Recovering Process
Allows protocol cleanup if you need to recover unused rewards when no stakers remain.
Config
Displays current protocol settings, including:
Reward Token Address (the token used for rewards)
Reward Amount (total tokens allocated for rewards)
Lock Period (the time tokens must remain staked before withdrawal)
Configuring the Protocol
Before launching the staking pool, ensure the settings in the Config section are correct:
Verify the Reward Token Address
Ensure that the correct token address is set under Reward Token.
Set the Reward Amount
Enter the total amount of tokens to be distributed over time.
The value is represented in Wei, the smallest unit of the token.
Set the Lock Period
Define the number of days tokens must remain staked before they can be withdrawn.
In this example, the lock period is 30 days.

1️⃣ Deposit Rewards & Announce the Protocol
Once the configuration is correct, the first step in launching the staking protocol is depositing rewards.
Click "Deposit Rewards & Announce"
This transfers the reward tokens into the staking contract.
Once completed, your protocol becomes publicly visible.
🎉 Your protocol is now available, but users cannot stake yet!
2️⃣ Open the Protocol for Deposits
To allow users to stake tokens, you must enable deposits.
Click "Open for Deposit"
This function allows users to deposit their tokens into the staking contract.
Until this step is completed, the staking function remains disabled.
✅ Now, users can start staking their tokens!
3️⃣ Start Reward Distribution
Once at least one staker has deposited tokens, you can begin distributing rewards.
Click "Start Reward Distribution"
This activates the time-based reward system, ensuring rewards are distributed gradually over time.
This step is only possible if at least one staker has deposited tokens.
🎉 Your staking protocol is now fully active, and rewards will be distributed over time!
Managing the Protocol (Optional Actions)
If needed, you can modify or recover tokens using these functions:
Updating Reward or Lock Period Settings
If you need to adjust the reward amount or lock period, you can:
Modify the values under the Config section.
Click "Update" to save the changes.
Confirm the transaction in your connected wallet.
This action is only possible, when the staking protocol is not announced yet.
Purging the Protocol (Recovering Rewards)
If no users have staked tokens and you wish to recover unused rewards:
Click "Purge Protocol"
This transfers all remaining reward tokens back to the admin wallet.
Resets the protocol to pre-announced state
Only possible if no stakers are in the protocol.
