# Staked STRIP

stSTRIP is the staking layer for STRIP.

PT/STRIP pools charge a fixed 0.3% swap fee on every trade. 70% of that fee is routed to stSTRIP and distributed to staked STRIP holders. Fees collected in PT are converted to STRIP through the v4 pool before distribution, so stSTRIP rewards are paid in STRIP.

This makes stSTRIP the place where market activity flows back to STRIP holders. STRIP can be earned through participation or acquired directly. Principal Token stakers earn STRIP by supporting the productive base. PT/STRIP liquidity providers earn STRIP by supporting market depth through sWLP. Once STRIP is earned or acquired, it can be staked into stSTRIP to capture the fee flow assigned to STRIP stakers.

Providing liquidity earns STRIP. Staking STRIP captures protocol fee flow. The distinction keeps incentives clean. LPs receive 10% of swap fees through pool reserves and compete for STRIP emissions through staked sWLP. They do not receive the 70% stSTRIP fee flow by providing liquidity alone. To capture that flow, earned STRIP must be staked into stSTRIP.

stSTRIP is lockless. There is no minimum, no cooldown, and no withdrawal queue. Staking and unstaking are instant. Boost applies across stSTRIP and the other incentive venues. A user holding STRIP, staking STRIP into stSTRIP, and providing liquidity through sWLP shares one boost multiplier across all aligned positions. There is one alignment clock per user, and it applies wherever that user is exposed to STRIP.

This connects the incentive loop after STRIP is earned. stSTRIP does not replace buyback and burn. It sits beside it. Buyback and burn removes STRIP from circulation through routed yield. stSTRIP distributes swap-fee flow to users who stake STRIP.

Together, they make STRIP more than an emitted reward. STRIP is earned through participation, bought through routed yield, burned through the core loop, and staked to capture fee flow from market activity.
