Active Staking Rewards (ASR) is Streamflow's staking program that allows users to lock their STREAM tokens, participate in governance by voting on protocol-related topics, and earn STREAM rewards sourced from protocol revenue.
This document outlines how ASR works, how to participate, and key rules to be aware of.
Why Stake STREAM?
Unlike traditional staking programs that involve competing for a fixed pool of rewards, Streamflow’s staking structure encourages broader participation.
Key characteristics include:
Reward Pool Growth:
The more STREAM tokens are staked, the larger the share of protocol revenue used for rewards accumulation.
The relationship between total staked supply and reward allocation is non-linear - as staking participation increases, the percentage of protocol revenue allocated to rewards grows exponentially.Protocol-Sourced Rewards:
Rewards come directly from Streamflow’s operational revenue, not from inflationary token emissions.Proportional Earnings:
Your rewards are based on your percentage share of the staking pool, not just on the absolute number of tokens staked.
How ASR Works?
1. Stake STREAM
Stake any amount of STREAM through the staking portal.
Upon staking, users receive a "receipt token" called sSTREAM, which is frozen (non-transferable and non-burnable).
Your staked STREAM is visible and aggregated in your dashboard for easy management.
2. Participate in Voting
Active participation in governance is required to qualify for rewards.
Voting or expressing your opinion on ecosystem-related topics is done through the staking portal.
Voting records are stored on-chain.
Before staking or claiming rewards, users must complete voting on any active questions.
If no vote is submitted, the staking or claiming transaction will prompt you to complete it first.
3. Claim Rewards
Rewards accumulate hourly based on protocol revenue.
Users can claim rewards on a preset schedule (currently hourly).
Claiming requires voting participation to remain eligible.
If a wallet has multiple stake accounts, multiple claiming transactions may be required, as each stake account is independent.
4. Unstake STREAM
Unstaking initiates a 14-day delay period.
During the unstaking period:
Tokens are locked.
No new rewards are earned.
After 14 days, the unstaked STREAM can be claimed manually.
Important: Rewards must be claimed before initiating the unstake process. Once unstaking starts, rewards for that stake account cannot be claimed.

Voting & Governance
Active participation is at the heart of ASR.
New governance questions are posted frequently through the staking portal.
User responses are recorded on-chain.
User needs to vote to stay eligible for claiming rewards
The interface will guide users through required voting actions.
Your vote ensures ongoing eligibility for STREAM rewards.
Migration Fee
Migrating from the deprecated staking pool to the new STREAM ASR pool requires a small network fee of approximately 0.05 SOL per staker.

Summary
ASR isn’t just about staking - it’s about building a strong, engaged community where everyone benefits from each other’s participation. The more we stake and vote together, the stronger we are.
