Staking

Earn passive income by staking graduated tokens.

Overview

After a token graduates to Raydium CLMM, holders can stake their tokens to earn a share of trading fees.

Staking is only available for graduated tokens. Pre-graduation tokens cannot be staked.

How It Works

Stake your tokens into the protocol's staking contract
Earn a share of CLMM trading fees proportional to your stake
Claim rewards anytime
Unstake to get your tokens back

X = Staked Tokens / Total Supply

Fee Distribution

Fees are split based on the staking ratio:

If Staking Ratio	Stakers Get	Protocol Gets
10% staked	10% of fees	90% of fees
25% staked	25% of fees	75% of fees
50% staked	50% of fees	50% of fees

Your individual share of the staker portion is proportional to your stake vs total staked.

Staking Tokens

Prerequisites

Token must be graduated
You must hold the token in your wallet
Small SOL amount for transaction fees

Steps

Claiming Rewards

Rewards accumulate over time as trades occur on the CLMM pool.

Go to token page → Stake tab

Click Claim Rewards

⚠️

Rewards are paid in SOL, not the staked token.

Viewing Your Stakes

Token Page

Each token page shows:

Your staked amount
Current APY estimate
Pending rewards
Total staked by all users

APY Estimation

APY varies based on:

Trading volume on the CLMM pool
Total amount staked
Fee tier of the pool

Estimated APY = (Daily Fees × 365 × Staker Share) / Total Staked Value

💡

APY is an estimate based on recent trading activity. Actual returns may vary significantly.

Staking Strategy Tips

Maximize Returns

Stake early when total stake is low (larger share)
Choose tokens with high trading volume
Compound by claiming and buying more to stake

Risk Considerations

Token price can drop while staked
Low volume = low rewards
Opportunity cost vs. selling
