Emissions (Masterchef)
Epoch cadence: every 6 hours
Initial emission: ~225,000 $YIELD per epoch (all pools combined)
Decay: –12% every 90 days (quarterly)
Target duration: ~4 years to distribute ~600M to stakers
Dev/Treasury fee: 10% of each epoch’s emission → Treasury
90% to stakers, 10% to Treasury
Emission rate / decay are configurable (admin → governance later).
Pool distribution (recap)
Rewards go only to active pools (after Activation Goal).
Each epoch’s reward budget splits: 20% equal across active pools, 80% proportional to each pool’s fees (deposits/withdrawals).
Tips (SOL) boost APR but do not activate pools.
$YIELD utility (v1)
Staking rewards for APY.fun pools.
Future: governance over protocol params (emissions, lock times, listings), fee discounts, advanced boost mechanics.
