Eligible stakers share 10% of actual normal-mining forfeitures as BTC rewards. This is a share of funded activity, not a fixed return on staked capital. Staking does not mint SAT. It does not improve the holder’s mining weight. Normal mining continues with or without eligible stakers. The 10% staking bucket funds BTC for qualified snapshot stakers, or returns in SOL to its original forfeiture contributors. Bootstrap has no staking bucket. Eligibility begins after 24 hours, with eligible weight fixed before round entries open. Unstaking stops future eligibility while preserving accrued rewards. If no stake qualifies at the fixed pre-entry snapshot, mining continues and the staking allocation returns as native SOL to the original forfeiture contributors in proportion to their actual deductions. Exact-entry fees do not earn this refund. Later staking cannot capture it. Show the gross deduction, staking-allocation refund and net SOL return separately; the nominal 5%–10% incorrect deduction becomes approximately 4.5%–9% after this refund, before other rewards and transaction costs. Keep staked SAT, acquired BTC and pending reward conversion separate. A new holder does not inherit another participant’s already-earned rewards. Treasury-owned bought SAT cannot stake in this version. There is no additional WEN service fee for staking, unstaking or claims; disclosed network/account costs can apply. Staking remains optional for an individual miner. Read fees, claims and status.

During bootstrap

Claimed miner SAT can be staked to start its 24-hour maturity. Bootstrap pays no staking BTC and creates no staking-allocation refund. Normal rounds start after verified LP graduation and the ordinary source, funding and cap checks, regardless of eligible staking weight. Protocol LP and treasury inventory cannot stake.
