Staking $ACRES
$ACRES staking raises your plot cap and lowers your harvest fee, and half of every harvest fee is paid to stakers in ETH.
Tiers
| Staked | Cap per crop per season | Harvest fee |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 100 USDG | 1% |
| 10,000 $ACRES | 1,000 USDG | 0.5% (the harvest boost) |
| 100,000 $ACRES | 10,000 USDG | 0% |
The market reads your stake when you plant. Stake first, then plant.
Where the fee goes
- The market keeps 1% (or the tier rate) of every winning payout in USDG.
- At 00:30 UTC the keeper withdraws the fees and swaps them to ETH on Uniswap v4.
- 50% of the ETH goes to the stake contract and is shared pro-rata to the $ACRES staked at that moment.
- 50% buys $ACRES on its Pons pool and is sent to the dead address.
- The keeper records the split on the market with both transaction hashes; the protocol page lists them.
Claim and unstake
Claim your ETH from the stake page at any time. Unstaking returns your $ACRES immediately and never depends on the ETH balance; rewards already earned stay claimable.
