Staking opens at launch

At the token generation event you’ll stake $HARK here to lock in an access level, cut your fees across AllenHark, and earn a flat 6.7% APR in $HARK. Staking locks your tokens — unstaking returns 100% after a short cooldown. Here’s what’s coming.

// how it works

One stake, every bill lower

AllenHark bills a few ways — flat subscriptions, per-transaction relays, and a percentage of volume. Drag the stake and watch a single $HARK position discount every service at once — your tokens are locked, never spent.

Each plan discounts in step with your stake, reaching 90% off once it covers ~8 months of that plan’s cost — never free (a floor keeps usage honest).

AllenHark Relay

Freededicated tier

−100%

Relay charges a 0.001 SOL tip per transaction. Staking fades it to zero — free once your stake covers ~8 months on the dedicated tier.

percentage of volume

Soltrace & Solmask

0.66%

Soltrace / trade

0.18%

Solmask / withdraw

Soltrace slides from 0.85% and Solmask from 0.23%, each down its own curve toward a 0.01% floor — never zero, so the network keeps a sliver on volume.

SOL tip / txn

Slipstream is token-metered per transaction. Your free daily quota steps up at each staking level — 100 → 1k → 5k → 25k → 100k/day — while staking cuts the per-transaction tip to zero by the Stream level.

// rewards & fees

Rewards now, utility forever

Two things happen when you stake: you earn $HARK, and your fees fall.

Earn 6.7% APR

Stake $HARK and earn a flat 6.7% annual reward, paid in $HARK from the 200M rewards reserve. It’s a fixed rate, so you know your yield up front — stake 100,000 $HARK and earn ~6,700 $HARK a year. Unstake anytime; 100% comes back after a short cooldown.

Fee discounts

For Soltrace and Solmask, staking slides your percentage fee down a curve toward a protocol floor — the more you stake, the lower the rate. Flat subscriptions are offset, and Slipstream tips drop while your free quota rises.
