Staking page: snapshot countdown, tiered access, and a redacted token name

The risk-underwriting token finally has a public surface. The page is live at /staking and linked from the top nav. It is a draft design board, not a launch post — every number on it is provisional and the token name is still held back behind CSS censor bars until launch.

What landed

/staking route on the main site, wired into the primary nav between Token and Plates. Built with BaseLayout so the site header, footer, theme toggle, and design tokens come for free.
Snapshot countdown ticking down to 2026-05-31 · 00:00 UTC. Renders in days / hours / minutes / seconds; collapses to a single column under 640px; switches to “Snapshot block has landed” once the target is reached.
Tiered yield access on the same snapshot block. Bench (≥ 3B BOUNTY) opens at T+0. Gallery (1B – 2.999B BOUNTY) opens at T+3h. The airdrop itself is immediate at TGE for both tiers; only the underwriting-pool door opens at different hours.
Working distribution table. 100M cap. ERC20 capped, immutable token contract, no mint after deploy. No cliffs anywhere — everything either unlocks at TGE or vests linearly from block one. Working split is 30/10/15/10/15/10/10 across airdrop, ecosystem airdrops, community emissions, protocol-owned liquidity, treasury, team (12-month linear, zero cliff), and reserve.
Self-selected lock mechanic. Minimum 6 hours, maximum unbounded. Linear multiplier curve 1.0× at 6h → 4.0× at 365d; locks longer than a year do not yield additional multiplier. Stake accepted in either BOUNTY or USDC; same curve applies.
Team operating fee split. 60% of protocol fees route to stakers, 25% to the team multisig in the bounty’s own currency (so cash flow is independent of token price), 15% to treasury. The team token allocation exists for governance alignment, not for paying rent.
Friendly communities, growing. Aeon Framework (Bankr ecosystem), MiroShark, gitlawb, Surplus are on the page today. Holding any listed community token above threshold adds +0.25× to the airdrop multiplier, stackable up to a 2.0× cap. The list will grow before snapshot.

Hero illustration: a 13th-century manuscript illumination of a cautio pledge ceremony — red-robed magistrate on a Gothic trefoil throne, green-robed kneeling pledgor, tonsured blue-robed scribe — with anachronistic reliquary-server-rack cabinets glowing with rose-window LED indicators behind the parties. Generated via the Black Forest Labs Flux API at 1440×960, after explicit reference to the Decretals of Gregory IX (ca. 1260).
Responsive image pipeline. ImageMagick produced WebP and PNG variants at 480 / 720 / 1080 / 1440 widths. Served as a <picture> element with both formats and explicit sizes. Mobile transfer for the hero drops from ~3 MB (original PNG) to ~40 KB (480w WebP). Cloudflare Pages serves the assets from edge with correct content-type per format.
A standing banner at the top of the page reads DRAFT · SNAPSHOT IN 7 DAYS · ALL NUMBERS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. Every H2 with provisional numbers carries a subject to change chip.
A “Daily design updates” promise. Numbers and friendly communities will be edited in place every working day until snapshot. No social-only updates; the page is the source of truth.

What is deliberately undefined

Token name and ticker. Held back behind CSS censor bars until launch. The name is in DOM for accessibility, sed-swap simplicity, and the eventual reveal, but visually it is a solid ink-coloured block everywhere it appears.
Slashing mechanics. Trigger conditions, dispute window, and quorum are not on the page. They will publish in v0.2 of the underwriting design — not under launch pressure.
Audit firm and date. Contracts will be audited before mainnet. No firm or window is being committed to.
TGE date. Snapshot is in 7 days; launch may take longer. Updated timing will publish on /staking, not on social.

What ships next

Daily edits on /staking as the friendly-communities list grows and numbers are tuned through mechanism design.
v0.2 of the slashing design once the verdict-failure modes are fully enumerated.
A separate post when the token name is unredacted.

The page deliberately makes the design process auditable in public. If a number on /staking changes between morning and evening, the morning version is wrong by definition. Bookmark, refresh, watch the countdown.
