Index Staking
Rewarding Long-Term Holders Through Index Performance
A new staking model by OLTA could turn passive index holdings into productive assets, rewarding loyalty with performance-linked yields.

What Is IRT Staking?
IRT Staking is not a high-yield or inflationary staking model. It is designed to:
Incentivize long-term holding of index tokens
Reward loyalty and alignment with index strategies
Avoid dilution mechanics often found in DeFi staking
Users who stake index units (e.g., Core 6, Sector AI) over a defined period (e.g., 90+ days) would receive staking yields that mirror the cumulative performance of the underlying index.
Core Principles
Performance-Linked Returns
Staking rewards are calibrated based on the net NAV growth of the index during the staking window.
No rewards during negative performance periods; alignment with long-only strategy.
Stability Over Speculation
Target yield: 2–5% APY during sustained positive market conditions.
Rewards paid in $OLTA or USDC, depending on governance decision.
Staking Lock & Exit Logic
Minimum lock duration (e.g., 90 days).
Early exit forfeits accrued rewards and resets eligibility.
Governance Participation
Stakers receive elevated governance rights and may influence future index changes, fund weights, or new product modules.
Next Steps
IRT staking is currently under feasibility review. It reflects OLTA’s desire to build sustainable, non-extractive staking mechanisms that serve both users and the protocol over the long term.
If implemented, IRT staking would align incentives between investors and index performance rewarding commitment, not speculation.
