GHOST Token Staking Stake GHOST tokens to unlock unlimited verifications and earn USDC revenue share from GhostSpeak protocol fees. This is a crypto-native alternative to traditional subscriptions.
Honest Disclosure : APY is variable and depends on actual protocol revenue. We do not promise fixed returns. What you earn is what the protocol earns.
Why Stake GHOST?
Unlimited Verifications No pay-per-check fees while staked
USDC Revenue Share Earn 10% of B2C fees + 100% of B2B overage
Multiplier Bonuses Stake more to earn higher revenue multipliers
No Lockup Unstake anytime (lose access but keep rewards)
Staking Tiers Tier GHOST Required Benefits Revenue Multiplier Verified Staker 5,000 GHOST (~$0.28) Unlimited verifications 1.5x Pro Staker 50,000 GHOST (~$2.85) + 100K API calls/month 2.0x Whale Staker 500,000 GHOST (~$28.46) + Unlimited API calls 3.0x
Prices based on current market price: $0.00005691/GHOST Example Monthly Earnings Scenario : Protocol generates $100K in B2C fees in a month// Revenue share pool const b2cPool = $100 ,000 × 0.10 = $10 ,000 USDC // Your stake: 50,000 GHOST (Pro Staker, 2x multiplier) // Total staked across all users: 10,000,000 GHOST // Your effective stake: 50,000 × 2.0 = 100,000 // Your share calculation const yourShare = ( $10 , 000 × 100 , 000 ) / ( 10 , 000 , 000 effective total ) = $100 USDC // Monthly earnings: $100 USDC // Annualized: $1,200 USDC // Stake value: 50,000 GHOST × $0.00005691 = $2.85 // APY: ($1,200 / $2.85) × 100 = 42,105%
Why is APY so high? At current GHOST prices ($0.00005691), the token is severely undervalued relative to protocol utility. As GHOST price appreciates, APY will normalize to sustainable levels (10-30%).This is intentional: early stakers benefit from token appreciation + revenue share .
How Revenue Share Works GhostSpeak protocol fees are distributed to stakers:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Protocol Revenue Sources │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ 1. B2C Pay-Per-Check (1 USDC/verification) │ │ └─> 10% → Staker rewards pool │ │ │ │ 2. B2B API Overage Fees (0.01 USDC/request over quota) │ │ └─> 100% → Staker rewards pool │ │ │ │ 3. GHOST Burn Fees (75 GHOST burned per verification) │ │ └─> Deflationary (no distribution) │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ ▼ ┌─────────────────────┐ │ Rewards Pool (USDC) │ └─────────────────────┘ │ ▼ ┌───────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Distributed to Stakers (Proportional) │ │ Based on: Stake × Multiplier │ └───────────────────────────────────────┘ │ ┌───────────────────┴───────────────────┐ ▼ ▼ Verified Staker Whale Staker (1.5x multiplier) (3.0x multiplier) Stake: 5K GHOST Stake: 500K GHOST Effective: 7.5K Effective: 1.5M

Programmatic staking for developers:import { GhostSpeakClient } from '@ghostspeak/sdk' import { createKeyPairSignerFromBytes } from '@solana/signers' import fs from 'fs' async function stakeGHOST () { // Load wallet const keypairBytes = JSON . parse ( fs . readFileSync ( process . env . WALLET_PATH , 'utf-8' ) ) const wallet = await createKeyPairSignerFromBytes ( new Uint8Array ( keypairBytes ) ) // Initialize client const client = new GhostSpeakClient ({ cluster: 'devnet' , commitment: 'confirmed' }) // Stake 5,000 GHOST (Verified Staker tier) const result = await client . staking . stake ({ amount: 5_000_000_000 n , // 5K GHOST (6 decimals) }) console . log ( '✅ Staked successfully!' ) console . log ( 'Transaction:' , result . signature ) console . log ( 'Tier:' , result . tier ) // "Verified Staker" console . log ( 'Multiplier:' , result . multiplier ) // 1.5x } stakeGHOST (). catch ( console . error )
Command-line staking for power users:# Install CLI bun add -g @ghostspeak/cli # Authenticate ghostspeak auth --wallet ~/.config/solana/id.json # Stake GHOST ghostspeak staking stake --amount 5000 --network devnet # Check staking status ghostspeak staking status # Claim rewards ghostspeak staking claim
Claiming Rewards Rewards accrue daily and can be claimed anytime :
// Check pending rewards const rewards = await client . staking . getRewards () console . log ( 'Pending USDC:' , rewards . pending ) console . log ( 'Estimated monthly:' , rewards . estimatedMonthly ) console . log ( 'Estimated APY:' , ` ${ rewards . estimatedAPY } %` ) // Claim rewards const result = await client . staking . claimRewards () console . log ( '✅ Claimed:' , result . usdcAmount , 'USDC' ) console . log ( 'Transaction:' , result . signature )
Gas-Free Claims : Reward claims cost ~0.0005 SOL in transaction fees. Claim regularly to avoid accumulating too much pending balance.
Unstaking Unstake anytime with no lockup period:
// Unstake all GHOST const result = await client . staking . unstake ({ amount: 'all' // Or specify amount: 1_000_000_000n for 1K GHOST }) console . log ( '✅ Unstaked:' , result . amountGHOST , 'GHOST' ) console . log ( 'Transaction:' , result . signature ) // Consequences: // - Lose unlimited verification access // - Stop earning revenue share // - Keep all previously claimed USDC rewards // - GHOST tokens returned to wallet immediately
Unstaking Consequences :
❌ Lose unlimited verification access (revert to pay-per-check)
❌ Stop earning revenue share
✅ Keep all claimed rewards
✅ GHOST returned to wallet immediately (no cooldown)
Revenue Share Multipliers Higher stakes earn higher multipliers:
// Example: $10K rewards pool, 10M effective stake total // Scenario 1: Verified Staker (5K GHOST, 1.5x multiplier) Effective Stake = 5 , 000 × 1.5 = 7 , 500 Share = 7 , 500 / 10 , 000 , 000 = 0.075 % Earnings = $10 , 000 × 0.00075 = $7 . 50 USDC // Scenario 2: Pro Staker (50K GHOST, 2.0x multiplier) Effective Stake = 50 , 000 × 2.0 = 100 , 000 Share = 100 , 000 / 10 , 000 , 000 = 1.0 % Earnings = $10 , 000 × 0.01 = $100 USDC // Scenario 3: Whale Staker (500K GHOST, 3.0x multiplier) Effective Stake = 500 , 000 × 3.0 = 1 , 500 , 000 Share = 1 , 500 , 000 / 10 , 000 , 000 = 15.0 % Earnings = $10 , 000 × 0.15 = $1 , 500 USDC
Key Insight : Whale Stakers earn 200x more than Verified Stakers for 100x more stake (due to 3x vs 1.5x multiplier).GHOST Token Details Contract Address : DFQ9ejBt1T192Xnru1J21bFq9FSU7gjRRRYJkehvpumpProperty Value Network Solana Mainnet Standard SPL Token Decimals 6 Total Supply 999,753,007 GHOST (immutable) Mint Authority Revoked (no inflation) Freeze Authority Revoked (cannot be censored)

Current Price ($0.00005691) - Unsustainable High APY
If GHOST stays at current price: Tier Stake Value Monthly Earnings APY Verified $0.28 $7.50 32,142% Pro $2.85 $100 42,105% Whale $28.46 $1,500 63,157%
Verdict : APYs are absurdly high. GHOST will appreciate.

Verdict : Normalized to competitive DeFi rates.Conclusion : As GhostSpeak grows and GHOST price appreciates, APY normalizes. Early stakers benefit from both token appreciation and revenue share.Risks & Considerations Staking Risks:
Price Volatility : GHOST price can fluctuate wildly (typical for crypto)Revenue Variability : APY depends on protocol usage (no fixed returns)Smart Contract Risk : Audited but not bug-free (use at your own risk)No Impermanent Loss Protection : If GHOST moons while staked, you can’t sell (must unstake first) This is not financial advice . Only stake what you can afford to lose.Comparison: Staking vs Pay-Per-Check Metric Pay-Per-Check (USDC) GHOST Staking Cost per Verification 1 USDC $0 (unlimited) 100 Verifications $100 USDC $0 Revenue Share None 10% of B2C + 100% of B2B overage Upfront Cost $0 5,000 GHOST (~$0.28 at current price) Break-Even N/A ~1 verification (at current prices)
Verdict : Staking is dramatically cheaper if you need >1 verification.Governance (Roadmap) Q4 2026 : GHOST stakers will govern the protocol:
Vote on Proposals Weighted by GHOST staked (1 GHOST = 1 vote)
Parameter Changes Revenue share %, tier thresholds, fees
Protocol Upgrades New features, smart contract upgrades
Treasury Management How protocol reserves are allocated
