Phase 1 Allocation
During Phase 1 of KindSwap, the protocol fee distribution is as follows:
- 30% of KindSwap platform fees are distributed to KNS stakers
- Only users who stake KNS are eligible
- Rewards are paid in USDC
- Distribution is proportional and transparent
This allocation may evolve in future phases as the platform grows.
How KNS Staking Works
Staking Tiers & Lock Periods
Users can stake KNS across four time-lock tiers:
The longer the lock, the greater the reward weight per KNS staked.
Reward Weighting
Rewards are not split evenly by tier.
Instead, each stake is assigned an effective weight:
Longer lockups increase the multiplier, meaning:
- Fewer tokens locked longer can outperform
- Short-term staking remains accessible
- Long-term alignment is rewarded fairly
Why This Design Is Fair
This system is designed to:
- Reward long-term supporters more than short-term capital
- Prevent gaming through fast in-and-out staking
- Avoid sudden unlock cliffs
- Scale naturally as KindSwap volume grows
- Align incentives between KindSoul, KindSwap, and users
