How Staking Works (Reliquary)
CDX staking utilizes the Reliquary system, a time-weighted staking mechanism that rewards long-term commitment. Your stake is represented by a Relic — an ERC-721 NFT that tracks your position and maturity.
Core Concepts
Relic
ERC-721 NFT representing your staking position
Maturity
Age of your position, measured in time
Multiplier
Reward boost based on maturity (up to 1.5x at max)
Minimum Stake
5,000 CDX
Maturity Period
1 year to max maturity
Max Maturity Bonus
50% yield boost (1.5x multiplier)
Maturity Curve
Polynomial Plateau (S-curve) slow start → acceleration → plateau
Position Format
ERC-721 NFT (tradeable OTC/marketplace)
How Maturity Works
Your stake's maturity determines your yield bonus:

0%
3 months
~1.1x
~10%
6 months
~1.3x
~30%
12 months
1.5x
50% (maximum)
The Polynomial Plateau curve creates optimal incentives:
Early
Slow maturity growth
Encourages commitment
Middle
Accelerated growth
Rewards persistence
Late
Plateau at maximum
Ensures fair distribution
Multiple Positions
You can hold multiple Relics, each maturing independently:
Separate strategies
Manage different time horizons
Preserve maturity
New deposits don't dilute existing positions
Selective liquidity
Sell one position, keep others
Independent tracking
Each Relic has its own maturity clock
Advanced Relic Operations
The tokenized nature of Reliquary enables powerful position management:
Split
Maturity
Preserved on both resulting Relics
Use Case
Sell part of your position without sacrificing maturity
Penalty
None — underlying liquidity remains committed
Shift
Maturity
Recalculated on receiving Relic
Use Case
Consolidate capital from an acquired position
Penalty
None — liquidity remains committed
Merge
Process
Source Relic burned, target updated
Maturity
Recalculated based on combined position
Use Case
Simplify management of multiple positions
Key Insight: Since underlying liquidity remains committed during these operations, you're never penalized for managing your positions.
Position NFT
Your staking position is represented as a tradeable NFT, allowing you to:
Transfer positions without unstaking
Sell mature positions on secondary markets
Maintain yield while exploring liquidity options
Withdrawal Process
Cooldown Period
Cooldown Duration
7 days
Yield During Cooldown
Yes
Tier Status
Maintained until withdrawal completes
Cancel Option
Anytime — maturity preserved
How to Withdraw
Initiate Withdrawal: Start the 7-day cooldown
Wait Period: You are still earning yield and access all staking benefits during this period.
Complete or Cancel: Either claim tokens or cancel to preserve maturity
Tip: If market conditions change, you can cancel withdrawal anytime without losing accumulated maturity.
Yield Distribution
Source
All yield comes from platform profit after operating costs are covered.
Two Reward Types
Reliquary supports two reward mechanisms:
Infinite Rewards
Emission-rate based, tokens owed regardless of funding
Finite Rewards
Reserve-based, stops when empty
USDC profit distribution
CDX staking uses Finite Rewards for USDC yield — distribution continues only while the reserve has funds.
Schedule
Profit Determination
Every 14-day cycle
Distribution Cycle
Rolling 28-day distribution
Refill Frequency
Every 14 days
Distribution Method
Per-block (continuous)
Minimum Claim Threshold
None
Claiming
Anytime
Currency
USDC
Yield Calculation Formula
Where Total Weighted Stake = Sum of all (Stake × Maturity Multiplier) across all Relics in the pool.
Emergency Features
Reliquary includes safety mechanisms:
Pause Functionality
Admin can pause the system in emergencies
Emergency Withdrawals
Users can retrieve funds without standard reward distribution
Immutable Codebase
Core contract logic cannot be changed post-deployment
Best Practices
Start Early
The sooner you stake, the sooner maturity builds
Stake and Forget
Avoid unnecessary withdrawals to maximize maturity
Use Split Wisely
If you need partial liquidity, split rather than full withdrawal
Hold Multiple Relics
New deposits can create new Relics, preserving existing maturity
Monitor Yield Flip
At $1+ CDX price, yield allocation increases to 70%
Consider Selling Relic
If you need liquidity, selling the NFT preserves value for buyer
