Everything you need to know about staking with Broccoli and harvesting your USDG rewards.

Getting Started

Welcome to Broccoli! We're the healthier way to stake your Pons memecoin and earn real USDG rewards from trading volume. Here's how to get started in under a minute.

Prerequisites

An Ethereum Wallet

MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet and anything else that speaks EIP-1193. Robinhood Chain is an Arbitrum Orbit L2, so any EVM wallet works once it is pointed at chain 4663.

Some ETH for Gas

Gas on Robinhood Chain is paid in ETH. A fraction of a cent covers a stake or a claim.

The Broccoli Token

Launched on Pons and paired against USDG, which is what decides the currency your rewards arrive in.

Quick Start Guide

1

Connect Your Wallet

Click the 'Connect Wallet' button and select your preferred wallet.

2

Approve the Pool

A one-time ERC-20 approval that lets the staking contract move the tokens you deposit.

3

Enter Amount

Specify how many tokens you want to stake.

4

Confirm & Plant

Review the details and confirm the transaction in your wallet.

5

Watch It Grow

Your tokens are now earning USDG rewards. Check back anytime to harvest.

Pro Tip: The earlier you stake, the more rewards you accumulate. Rewards are distributed based on your share of the pool and how long you've been staking.

How It Works

Broccoli is a staking protocol built for a Pons launch on Robinhood Chain. Here is the secret sauce that makes it all work:

The Pons Connection

A Pons launch charges a creator tax on every trade, set at launch and capped at 10%. That tax is paid in whatever asset the launch was priced in. Broccoli is paired against USDG, so the tax arrives as USDG and is deposited straight into the staking pool for stakers to split. It accrues on bonding-curve trades and graduated-pool trades alike, so the pool starts filling from the first trade rather than waiting for graduation.

Real Yield, Not Inflation

Unlike staking that pays rewards by minting more of the same token, Broccoli's rewards come from real trading activity. More volume means more creator tax, which means more USDG to split. The Broccoli token itself is never minted: supply is fixed at launch.

Reward Distribution

There is no epoch and no distribution schedule. Rewards are credited the moment collected creator tax is deposited into the pool, split by your share of the total staked at that instant, and you can claim whatever you have accrued at any time.

The Math Behind It

Your Rewards = (Your Stake / Total Staked) x Amount Deposited

Example:
- You stake:        1,000,000 BROC
- Total staked:    10,000,000 BROC
- Your share:              10%
- Creator tax deposited:  100 USDG
- Your reward:             10 USDG

Your share is measured at the moment of each deposit, so staking after a
deposit does not earn you any part of it.
There is no fixed rate. Rewards track trading volume, so a quiet week pays less than a busy one. Anyone quoting you a guaranteed APY on this is guessing.

Rewards & APY

Understanding how rewards work will help you maximize your earnings on Broccoli.

Reward Source

Real Yield

Rewards come from actual trading fees, not token inflation.

APY

Variable

Depends on trading volume and creator fee distributions.

How Rewards Work

Your Rewards = (Your Stake / Total Staked) x Amount Deposited

Key Points:
- The Pons creator tax is fixed at launch and capped at 10%
- The tax is paid in the launch's pair asset, which here is USDG
- It accrues on curve trades and graduated-pool trades alike
- Rewards are credited the moment a deposit lands, not on a schedule

Your share is calculated as:
- Your stake as a percentage of everything staked at that instant
- Multiplied by the amount deposited
- Claimable anytime, no lockups

Note: Returns are variable and depend on trading activity.
Timing matters: your share is measured when a deposit lands, so staking before a busy stretch earns more of it than staking after. There is only one pool here, so there is nothing to shop around between.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tokens can I stake?

The Broccoli token, launched on Pons and paired against USDG. This deployment runs a single pool for a single token.

Is there a minimum stake amount?

The minimum stake is 1,000,000 tokens (accounting for decimals). This ensures meaningful participation in reward distribution.

Are there any lockup periods?

No! You can unstake your tokens at any time with no penalties or waiting periods.

How often are rewards distributed?

There is no schedule. Rewards are credited the moment collected creator tax is deposited into the pool, and you can claim whatever you have accrued at any time.

What are the fees?

Broccoli takes no protocol fees. You only pay Robinhood Chain gas, in ETH, which is a fraction of a cent per transaction.

What happens if I unstake?

Your tokens are returned to your wallet immediately. Make sure to claim any pending rewards before or after unstaking.

Is this safe?

Our contracts are audited and open source. However, all DeFi carries risks. Never stake more than you can afford to lose.

How are returns calculated?

Returns depend on trading volume. Your rewards are your share of the staked pool multiplied by whatever creator tax gets deposited.
