Five robots run the shop.
Nobody can reprogram them.
Holds every staker's USDC, stocks the shop's float, books the margin split and pays stakers. At least 25% of principal always stays on-chain and liquid; at most 75% can ever be working as float.

of booked margin goes to the company. The 60/40 split is enforced on-chain,
and payouts draw only from realised margin, never from principal.

Why it's smaller than it looks
Any one gate holds new money at the door until conditions clear. Nothing already staked is affected.
Payouts and the exit window read none of the gates above, they keep running whatever happens upstream.
Everything you might ask.
You stake USDC into a shared pool that stocks a real gift-card shop for 4,000+ brands. Real sales produce real margin, and that margin is shared on-chain: 60% to stakers, 40% to buyers, 0% to the company. It's a DeFi protocol, not a savings account.
Connect a wallet and deposit USDC (minimum $100). You're then in the pool and staker rewards accrue to you automatically from real sales. There's nothing to claim, stake again, or lock.
Only from realised margin on actual gift-card sales, the staker rewards share. Never from new deposits, and never from token emissions. If the shop makes no margin in a window, the reward for that window is simply zero.
It is variable and depends on how much the shop sells and at what margin. There is no fixed rate and no promised APY. Every figure on the page is illustrative and returns can be zero.
Variable, by design. The 60/40 split is fixed on-chain, but the amount shared moves with real protocol revenue. Nothing about the return is guaranteed.
Mainly smart-contract risk and the supplier-float (commercial) risk. This is not a deposit and is not risk-free. To bound it, at least 25% of principal always stays liquid on-chain and at most 75% is ever deployed as float.
