Earning: Staking, Referral & Rewards
Every way to earn inside MoonVault beyond the vaults themselves.
Staking
Stake MOONX single-sided, or MOONX-WPLS LP, for any lock from 30 days to 8 years. Your stake's weight decides your share of rewards.
| Mechanism | Lock | Weight | Leaving before the lock ends |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single-stake MOONX | 30 days – 8 years (minimum 1 MOONX) | 1 + lock days ÷ 1,095, up to ×3.67 at 8 years | 20% of principal is burned; accrued rewards are paid |
| MOONX-WPLS LP | 30 days – 8 years | The same duration weight, ×1.5 | All LP returned; accrued rewards are forfeited to the other stakers |
Rewards are paid in MOONX from two sources: the fee router's staker lane, which buys MOONX with part of every protocol fee, and the scheduled emission reservoir. There is no fixed APR and no size boost — the Stake page shows an estimate from the live pool weight, a share of a fixed budget rather than a promised rate. Single-sided rewards can be claimed at any time; LP rewards only once the lock has ended.
Referral
A three-tier referral chain: 5% / 2% / 1% of your downline's realized vault profit, when their vault seals in profit. It is paid from the fee router's referral lane, not added on top. The Affiliate pages also pay flat MOONX bonuses when a referral opens their first vault — see Points & Vouchers.
Commission accrues regardless, but it is held until you hold an open vault worth $100 or more yourself; nothing is lost while it waits.
Rewards hub
The Rewards page gathers your MV-Share dividends and staking rewards in one place. Referral rewards and vouchers live on the Affiliate pages.
