Liquid Staking (s0QP)

What is s0QP?

Liquid staking token that:

• Represents: Your staked 0QP + rewards

• Tradeable: Can be sold or used in DeFi

• Appreciates: Value grows vs 0QP over time

• Flexible: Use while earning staking rewards

s0QP Benefits

Best of both worlds:

• ✅ Earn staking rewards (8-23% APY)

• ✅ Keep liquidity through tradeable s0QP

• ✅ Use in DeFi: Compound, Aave, Uniswap

• ✅ Vote in DAO: Same power as regular 0QP

s0QP Growth Example

Day 1: 1 s0QP = 1.000 0QP Month 6: 1 s0QP = 1.075 0QP (+7.5%) Year 1: 1 s0QP = 1.150 0QP (+15%) Year 2: 1 s0QP = 1.322 0QP (+32.2%)

Reward System
