It runs on the Stable network. ## How it works You stake STABLEPAD into the staking contract and start earning at the current reward rate. Rewards accrue every block and can be claimed at any time. There is no lockup that traps your stake, you can unstake whenever you want, and your pending rewards remain claimable. The panel has two tabs, Stake and Unstake. Staking moves tokens from your wallet into the contract. Unstaking returns them. A separate claim action collects the rewards you have earned so far. ## What you see Total staked, the amount of STABLEPAD staked across all users. Estimated APR, derived live from the current reward rate and the total staked. As more tokens stake, the same reward flow spreads across a larger base, so the APR moves with participation. Your stake, the amount you have staked. Earned, your pending rewards, ready to claim. ## Notes Staking reads and writes on Stable, chain ID 988, so your wallet needs to be on Stable to stake, unstake, or claim. If staking is not yet active, the panel shows that state rather than letting you deposit. Staking uses the STABLEPAD token. See the STABLEPAD Token page for the token's role across the platform. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.stablepad.app/earn/staking.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
