Stake $RAIL20. Earn ETH from protocol fees. Govern the network.

Lock $RAIL20 into individual stakes. Each stake earns a share of protocol fees paid in ETH, and grants voting power at each daily snapshot. Unlocking a stake begins a 30-day cooldown before it can be claimed.

Staking & rewards

You stake $RAIL20 into the staking contract. In return you earn a share of RAIL20 protocol fees, paid in ETH. There is no token emission and no burn: rewards come from real protocol revenue, so the token supply stays fixed and your reward is denominated in ETH rather than in more $RAIL20.

Every private operation on RAIL20 (send, swap, bridge) pays a small relayer fee in the token being moved. A share of the fees the protocol collects is set aside for stakers and paid out in ETH. Because rewards track real usage, they rise and fall with protocol activity rather than following a fixed emission schedule.

Rewards are distributed every 14 days at a staking-interval snapshot. Your payout is proportional to your share of total voting power at that snapshot. Between snapshots your accrued rewards keep accumulating; you can claim them at any time from the Rewards panel. Claiming does not unstake your position.

Each stake is a separate position. There is no fixed lock while staked, but when you unlock a stake it enters a 30-day cooldown: during cooldown that stake stops earning rewards and no longer counts toward voting power. After 30 days you withdraw it back to your wallet. Your other stakes keep earning and voting normally. The cooldown protects governance quorum from sudden large withdrawals during open votes.

Staking is non-custodial: tokens sit in a smart contract that records your balance, not with any third party, and only you can unstake. As with any DeFi contract, smart-contract risk exists. RAIL20 uses standard audited primitives and a formal audit of the staking contracts is on the roadmap. Treat early participation as experimental and stake amounts you are comfortable with.

Governance basics (start here)

Governance is how RAIL20 makes decisions without a central boss. Instead of the team picking things like "which chains to add" or "how fees are split", the people who use and hold the protocol vote on it. Every meaningful change to the protocol goes through a vote and is executed on-chain. No secret admin switch.

Holding a token is easy: you can buy and sell in the same block. If voting used raw balance, someone could borrow a huge amount right before a vote, swing the result, and dump. Staking fixes that: you have to lock the tokens into the staking contract to get voting power. That means voters actually have skin in the game and can't flash a decision and disappear.

The number of votes you have. It equals the total $RAIL20 you have staked and active right now. Stake 1,000 $RAIL20 → 1,000 voting power. Stakes that are in the 30-day cooldown do not count. Wallets that never stake have zero voting power, even if they hold a lot of tokens.

Completely fine. Governance is opt-in. If you never stake, you just hold the token and don't earn ETH rewards or vote. If you want ETH rewards or a voice in decisions, stake. You can do neither, one, or both at any time.

Things that change how the protocol works. Real examples: "add a cbBTC pool on Base", "route 25% of fees to stakers", "raise or lower the relayer fee", "add a new chain", "upgrade a smart contract". Non-examples: day-to-day operations, social media, small copy changes. Governance is for on-chain rules, not everything.

Say someone thinks the relayer fee is too high. Step 1: they stake $RAIL20 so they have voting power. Step 2: they write a proposal ("lower the relayer fee from 0.35% to 0.25%") and submit it, and it becomes a Draft. Step 3: it moves to Sponsorship: other stakers who agree lend their voting power as sponsorship. It needs 500,000 sponsorship inside 30 days, otherwise it expires. Step 4: if it reaches 500,000, anyone can call it to a Vote. Step 5: for a few days, stakers cast Yes or No, using any amount of their voting power. Step 6: if at least 2,000,000 total votes are cast AND Yes beats No, the proposal passes and its on-chain action gets executed. If not enough vote, it fails and nothing changes.

Governance details

Sponsorship is a filter that stops junk proposals from cluttering up voting. A newly-submitted proposal is not yet up for a vote: it needs the community to co-sign it first by lending sponsorship. If enough stakers sponsor it (reaching 500,000 combined support within 30 days), the proposal is considered "worth voting on" and advances. If not, it expires quietly. Sponsoring is not the same as voting Yes: you're just saying "this deserves the community's attention".

Quorum is the minimum turnout a vote needs to be legitimate. RAIL20's quorum is 2,000,000 votes cast. If total votes (Yes + No) don't reach 2M, the proposal fails even if Yes was ahead, because the community wasn't engaged enough for the decision to stick. Every proposal card shows a live quorum bar so you can see how close it is.

No. Voting is fractional: you enter how much of your voting power to cast. If you have 10,000 voting power you can vote Yes with 3,000 and abstain on the rest, or split however you want. But you vote per proposal only once, so you can't come back later to add more or switch sides on the same proposal.

Not voting is fine, nothing bad happens to you. But if too few people vote, proposals fail to reach quorum and nothing changes even if a majority actually agreed. That's why the design encourages you to at least stake and participate on issues you care about, and to sponsor proposals worth surfacing.

Big stakers have proportionally more power, which is the direct trade-off of a stake-weighted system. But three things constrain them: (1) they have to lock the tokens for real, so their capital is at risk with everyone else's; (2) the 30-day cooldown means they can't yank funds during controversial votes; (3) high quorum plus a public discussion period during sponsorship means unpopular proposals rarely pass, even if a large holder is loud.

Any staker with voting power can submit. Anti-spam is enforced by the sponsorship stage: your idea has to convince others enough to gather 500,000 sponsor support within 30 days, otherwise it goes nowhere. A tiny gas fee is also paid on submit. There is no hard "must own X tokens" gate.

1 active staked $RAIL20 equals 1 vote. Voting power is read from a daily snapshot, not from your live balance, so tokens staked after a proposal's snapshot count for the next proposal, not the current one. Tokens in the 30-day unlock cooldown do not count. Watch the "Next voting snapshot" clock to time a stake before a vote you care about.

A proposal moves through stages: Draft (open for community discussion), Sponsorship (30 days to gather 500,000 sponsor support to reach a vote), Review (a short window to read the final proposal), Vote (governors cast Yes or No with any amount of their voting power), and Execution (if it passes, the on-chain action is executed). A proposal that fails to reach the sponsor threshold expires without going to a vote.

Governance controls protocol parameters and direction: which token pools and chains to onboard, how protocol fees are split (including the staker reward share), relayer economics, and contract upgrades. Anything that changes the protocol's on-chain behaviour goes through a governance vote rather than a unilateral admin action.

Not yet. This is a preview of the interface ahead of the $RAIL20 launch on Robinhood Chain via Virtuals. All figures shown are illustrative and no real transactions occur. The proposals listed are drafts open for discussion; live voting begins once the token and staking contracts are deployed.
