#SECT Staking
Put #SECT to work.
Stake #SECT and start earning today — Year 1 rewards are funded directly by the Sectora Foundation treasury, so you don't wait on revenue to get started. From Year 2, the same 14.9% target APY is funded by hash market revenue: 80% buys back and burns #SECT on the open market, the other 20% pays rewards.
Why Year 1 comes from the treasury
A deliberate bootstrap, not a shortfallWaiting for revenue to mature before paying a single reward would leave the people who show up first holding nothing while the network gets built. So the Foundation flips the order:
Real #SECT, paid daily, from the day you stake — not a promise deferred to a future milestone.
80% of every hash sale burns #SECT, 20% funds rewards — self-sustaining, no treasury needed.
Early stakers take the real risk. The Foundation makes sure they get paid first — not last.

14.9% is a target rate, not a guaranteed return. Year 1 is funded directly from the Sectora Foundation treasury — a deliberate bootstrap so early stakers get paid from day one instead of waiting on revenue. From Year 2, funding shifts to hash market revenue under the same 80/20 split, and the realized rate then moves with actual network usage. See the whitepaper for the full mechanism and the treasury allocation behind Year 1.

The mechanism behind the 14.9% target, in three partsFunded directly by the treasury
The Foundation allocates treasury funds to cover Year 1 rewards in full — a scheduled disbursement disclosed in the whitepaper, not a discretionary pool. It's there so early stakers get paid before the network needs to carry that cost itself.
Funded by hash market sales
Every hash purchase splits by a fixed, published rule: 80% buys back and burns #SECT on the open market, 20% funds APY rewards, protocol expansion and the team. Nothing is minted to pay stakers.
The other 80% shrinks supply
Every #SECT bought back with hash revenue is burned instantly — permanently removed from circulating supply. Staking rewards and supply reduction are funded by the same transaction, not competing budgets.
Read from the chain
Buybacks, burns and reward payouts are on-chain events — check them in the Dashboard's Hash Market panel or directly on the explorer, instead of taking our word for it.

What to know before staking #SECTIs the 14.9% APY active right now?
Yes. Year 1 rewards are funded directly by the Sectora Foundation treasury, so your #SECT starts accruing the day you stake — you don't wait on hash market revenue to get paid. From Year 2, funding shifts to hash market revenue under the same 80/20 split, and the realized rate then tracks real network usage.
Can I unstake whenever I want?
Yes. This is flexible staking — no lockup period, no early-unstake penalty. Your principal is available on demand; only accrued rewards depend on revenue timing.
Where does the reward money actually come from?
Two phases. Year 1: a scheduled disbursement from the Sectora Foundation treasury, disclosed in the whitepaper — not new token issuance or presale proceeds. From Year 2: 20% of every hash market sale, published and verifiable on-chain. Once revenue takes over, if hash market revenue is zero, realized rewards for that period are zero, regardless of what the target rate says.
How is this different from staking on the Dashboard?
Same mechanism, same contract — this page is the dedicated place to understand the mechanics and estimate rewards. Wallet connection and live position management happen in the Dashboard.
