Staking on Reppo means locking REPPO tokens to receive veREPPO — your stake-backed curation authority. The lock is real: your tokens become illiquid for the chosen duration. In exchange, you gain voting power that lets you curate pods, earn curation rewards, and influence how emissions flow across the network.

​
Locking REPPO for veREPPO

Once you lock REPPO:
  • Your tokens are illiquid until the lock expires — you cannot withdraw early
  • You can reallocate how your veREPPO is distributed across datanets each epoch
  • A larger lock and a longer duration both increase your voting power per token
Splitting your REPPO across multiple wallets does not increase your total voting power. The stake-weighted model is designed so that Sybil strategies are economically self-defeating.

​
Epochs

An epoch is the fundamental time unit of the Reppo protocol — a 48-hour window during which all curation and reward activity takes place:
  • Publishers submit pods to datanets
  • Voters allocate veREPPO across datanets and specific pods
  • Voting power decays linearly from the start of the epoch to the end
  • Rewards accrue based on vote tallies and fee accumulation
At the close of each epoch, the network calculates rewards. The Performance Pool has a separate, slower cadence: it distributes every third epoch.

​
Who earns emissions

REPPO emissions flow to three groups each epoch based on their contribution to the network:

​
Performance Pool distribution

The Performance Pool accumulates from creation fees (50%), publishing fees (10%), and access fees (10%). It distributes every third epoch:
  • 80% to REPPO stakers
  • 20% to datanet owners
The distribution is weighted across datanets by four metrics: Datanets that generate more activity, attract more staked capital, and produce higher fee revenue receive a proportionally larger share of each distribution.

​
How staking rewards are calculated

Staking is a datanet-level reward mechanism. It is separate from locking REPPO for veREPPO and separate from publishing, and it is designed to reward long-term REPPO holders and high-quality datanet operators. To reduce short-term gaming, datanet scores use 3-epoch smoothing:
  • 50% from the last epoch
  • 30% from epoch -2
  • 20% from epoch -3
One strong epoch helps, but sustained performance matters more. Stake is time-weighted across the full 48-hour epoch. Stake added late earns only for the time it is active, so stake added at hour 46 earns for the final 2 hours only. Stakes carry forward automatically at full weight into the next epoch. New datanets do not earn Performance Pool rewards in their launch epoch. They must complete one full epoch before becoming eligible.

​
Amplifi staking

In addition to curation staking, Reppo supports Amplifi staking — a separate staking program with its own reward structure. To record an Amplifi stake:
The request requires amount, subnetId, and txHash. Amplifi stakes are scoped to a specific datanet and operate independently of your veREPPO lock.

​
Claiming pod emissions

For pods minted on-chain, you claim emissions through the Chat Server API at https://api.reppo.xyz. Claims execute as on-chain transactions via the PodManager contract on Base.
Both endpoints require a wallet session token. Authenticate first using the two-step wallet sign-in flow:
1

Request a nonce

Provide your wallet address. You receive a nonce and a message to sign. Nonces expire after 5 minutes.
2

Verify your signature

Submit your wallet address, the EIP-191 signature, and the nonce. You receive a 24-hour session token to use as a Bearer token on subsequent requests.
3

Call the emissions endpoints

Include Authorization: Bearer <session-token> on calls to GET /pods/{podId}/emissions and POST /pods/{podId}/emissions/claim.
Always call GET /pods/{podId}/emissions before claiming. It returns a per-epoch breakdown so you can confirm what will be claimed before the on-chain transaction executes.
