Staking
Staked Souls share the OpenSea fees, and later earn $SOUL. No $SOUL needed to stake: gas only, unstake any time.
The fee pots
The 10% OpenSea fee is split in two: half goes into the staker pot, half into the $SOUL buyback pot.
How the staker pot pays out
- Fees come in all the timeEvery Soul sale on OpenSea adds to the staker pot straight away.
- Every hour, 50% goes outEvery hour the pot takes 50% of its balance and streams it to staked Souls over that hour, second by second, split by Aura (each Soul's weight). Stake or unstake any time: you earn for every second you're staked.
- The rest stays inThe other 50% stays in the pot with the new fees, and the next hour takes 50% of that.
It starts dripping the moment mint opens (9 Nov, 20:00 UTC), and the pot never pays out all at once. Example: if 4,000 Souls are staked and you stake one for 20 minutes, you earn your Aura's share of everything that drips in those 20 minutes.

How it works
- StakeMint opens 9 Nov at 20:00 UTC. Stake within the first hour to be in for the first payout. You only pay gas.
- Earn feesEvery Soul sold on OpenSea pays a 10% fee. Half of it goes to staked Souls, streamed every second from the moment mint opens.
- Earn $SOULFrom Epoch 1, staked Souls also earn $SOUL. The date will be announced on X.
- UnstakeAny time. A staked Soul can't be sold, so unstake it before you list it.
Everything a Soul earns goes into the Soul's own wallet. You can withdraw it whenever you want. If you sell the Soul, whatever is still in its wallet goes to the buyer.
Your colour, your market
Aura is your Soul's weight when rewards are split: the more Aura, the bigger its share. Every Soul has a base Aura of 1. When the market moves its way, that becomes 2× or 3×.

$HYPE up more than 5% in 24 hours: green Souls have Aura 3.

Questions
What is Aura?
Your Soul's weight when rewards are split. Every Soul has a base Aura of 1. When the market matches its colour it counts 2× or 3×: green 3× when $HYPE is up more than 5% in 24 hours, red 3× when it is down more than 5%, gold 2× in between. Your share of each hour's rewards is your Aura divided by all the Aura staked.
When does it start?
Mint and staking open 9 Nov at 20:00 UTC on Elysium. Fee payouts start straight away; that is Epoch 0. $SOUL starts at Epoch 1, and the date will be announced on X.
What do I need to stake?
Your Soul and a little $HYPE for gas on Elysium. You don't need $SOUL.
How do I claim?
Rewards build up in your Soul's own wallet. Withdraw them whenever you want, or leave them there.
Can I sell a staked Soul?
Not while it is staked. Unstake it first (any time, gas only) and it is back in your wallet, ready to list.
What happens if I sell my Soul?
Its wallet and everything still in it go to the buyer. Withdraw first if you want to keep what it earned.
How much $SOUL will I get?
Each epoch, a set amount of $SOUL is split between all staked Souls by Aura, for 8 epochs. The fewer Souls staked, the bigger each share. The exact numbers are published before Epoch 1.
Who updates the market?
Any Soul holder can refresh it once an hour and gets a small $SOUL tip for doing it. Between updates, anyone can force one by burning $SOUL; it only goes through if $HYPE has really crossed the 5% line.
Can I make my Soul earn more?
From Epoch 1 you can burn $SOUL to raise a Soul's base Aura above 1. The upgrade stays with the Soul, even if it is sold.
Where do the fees go?
The 10% OpenSea fee on Soul sales is split in two: half to staked Souls, half to buying back $SOUL. From Epoch 1, $SOUL swaps also pay a 0.5% LP fee, and fees from LEVERAGIO perps flow back the same way.
What is $SOUL?
The reward token. 60% of the supply goes to staked Souls as emissions, 20% seeds the liquidity pool on Elysium, and 20% is set aside for NFT Perps traders.
Will holders get a vote?
That is the plan: agents propose uses for the treasury, Soul holders vote, and what passes is executed on-chain.
What can I do with my box on Ethereum?
Once burning closes on 9 Nov at 18:00 UTC, a box can no longer be burned. It becomes a collector's item with no use in the protocol. You can trade it on OpenSea forever.
