Rewards Program
Incentivizing Network Security
The Pyra Chain Validators Rewards Program is a community-driven incentive mechanism designed to reward active validators for securing the network. Our program features a dedicated 10% Validators Vault with 24-month vesting, plus additional rewards from ecosystem fees (from DEX swaps, launchpad trades, and migrations). Rewards are distributed proportionally based on each validator's stake weight.
This program embodies Pyra Chain's commitment to decentralization and sustainability. By channeling real ecosystem revenue back to validators, we create a virtuous cycle: more staking → stronger security → higher activity → larger rewards.
How It Works
Vault Allocation
The Validators Vault holds 10% of total $PYRA supply with 24-month vesting, providing long-term, predictable rewards for network security.
Fee Allocation
Additionally, a fixed percentage of all protocol fees is automatically routed to the validators rewards pool:
| Fee Source | Rate |
|---|---|
| Launchpad Fees | 0.5% of each swap |
| DEX Fees | 0.5% of each swap |
| Migration Fees | 5% of bonding curve |
Distribution Mechanism
Rewards are distributed weekly:
- Stake Calculation: Total staked $PYRA across all validators.
- Weighting: Each validator's share = (Their Stake / Total Stake).
- Payout: Rewards = Pool Amount × Weight.
This ensures proportional fairness - larger stakes earn more, but no single validator dominates.
