ORB Supply includes a non-inflationary staking mechanism that rewards long-term holders with yield funded entirely by protocol revenue.
Unlike traditional staking that dilutes holders through inflation, ORB staking is funded by protocol revenue. This means staking rewards come from buybacks, not new token emissions.

How Staking Works

Revenue-Funded Yield

10% of all ORB purchased via buybacks is distributed to stakers:
  1. Protocol generates revenue (10% of BNB mining rewards)
  2. Revenue used for buybacks (purchases ORB from market)
  3. 10% of purchased ORB goes to stakers
  4. 90% of purchased ORB is buried
Staking rewards are directly tied to protocol activity. More mining = more revenue = more buybacks = more staking rewards.

Reward Structure

Yield Source

Staking yield comes from:
  • Protocol revenue (not token emissions)
  • Buyback purchases (10% of purchased ORB)
  • Automatic distribution to stakers

No Dilution

Unlike inflationary staking:
  • No new tokens minted for staking
  • No dilution of existing holders
  • Sustainable long-term model
Traditional staking often dilutes holders by minting new tokens. ORB staking is different—rewards come from protocol activity, not inflation. This protects all token holders while rewarding those who stake.

Staking Benefits

No Inflation: Rewards don’t dilute existing holders Revenue-Funded: Yield comes from protocol activity Sustainable: Long-term viable reward mechanism

Staking Rewards

Reward Source

Staking rewards come from 10% of ORB purchased via buybacks:
Staking Rewards = Buyback ORB × 0.10
Flow:
  1. Protocol generates revenue (10% of BNB mining rewards)
  2. Revenue used to buy ORB from market
  3. 10% of purchased ORB → Stakers
  4. 90% of purchased ORB → Buried

Reward Distribution

Rewards are distributed proportionally among all stakers:
Your Reward = (Your Staked ORB / Total Staked ORB) × Total Reward Pool
Example:
  • Total reward pool: 10 ORB
  • Your stake: 100 ORB
  • Total staked: 1,000 ORB
  • Your reward: (100 / 1,000) × 10 = 1.0 ORB
Your share of rewards depends on your percentage of total staked ORB. More stakers means smaller individual rewards, but also more total ORB supporting the protocol.

Distribution Frequency

Rewards are distributed:
  • After each buyback (automatic)
  • Proportional to stake (fair distribution)
  • Immediately available (no waiting period)
Since buybacks happen continuously based on protocol revenue, staking rewards are also distributed continuously. You don’t need to wait for specific epochs or periods.

Yield Calculation

Staking yield is variable, not fixed. It depends on protocol revenue, buyback frequency, total staked, and ORB price.
Staking yield is not guaranteed. It depends entirely on protocol activity. Do not expect fixed returns.

Staking vs. Mining

Two Different Approaches

Mining:
  • Active participation
  • Requires BNB deployment
  • Competitive (winners take from losers)
  • Potential for large rewards
  • Risk of losing deployment
Staking:
  • Passive participation
  • Requires ORB tokens
  • Non-competitive (rewards shared)
  • Steady, smaller rewards
  • Lower risk (no deployment loss)
You can do both! Mine for active rewards and stake for passive yield. Many participants use both strategies to diversify their approach.

How to Stake

  1. Connect your BNB Chain wallet
  2. Navigate to the staking section
  3. Enter the amount you want to stake
  4. Approve token spending (first time only)
  5. Confirm the stake transaction
Staking locks your ORB tokens. You’ll need to unstake to regain access. Make sure you understand the lock period and unstaking process.

ORB staking offers a unique, non-inflationary way to earn yield on your tokens. By funding rewards through protocol revenue instead of token emissions, staking protects all holders while rewarding those who participate.
