Staking Rewards

The Pixel protocol captures a 2% fee on every transaction which is subsequently split between front-end applications and the protocol itself. (Learn more in Protocol Fees). 100% of transaction fees captured by the core protocol are claimable by Pixel token stakers.

Pixel's DAO also develops and build its own front-ends that might generate maker or taker orders entitled to additional transaction fees. Fees generated across DAO-controlled front-ends will also be distributed to Pixel stakers on a pro-rata basis.

Pixel collects fees in WETH (wrapped ethereum) which is the currency stakers will receive. In the future, front-end applications will accept other ERC-20s as part of payments which will also be claimable by stakers.

All WETH fees are collected by the protocol core contract (contract address) and distributed every 6,500 blocks (about 24 hours). Users need to claim their rewards to transfer them to their wallets.

Note: a portion of Pixel token holders such as grantees that develop front-end applications, the Pixel core team, and investors have lock-up periods where trading Pixel tokens is not possible. However, those tokens are eligible to receive staking rewards if staked.
