Staking & validator rewards

Validators that secure Khromosome earn from a pre-funded rewards pool — the ValidatorRewards contract — rather than from protocol inflation. The pool only ever distributes tokens it already holds, so supply stays fixed at 777,000,000 KHROME.

• Staking UI: https://staking.khromosome.network

The pool

• Size: 116,550,000 KHROME — 15% of supply.

• Emission — geometric decay. Time is cut into fixed periodDuration periods; each period releases decayBps / 10000 of the remaining pool:

  release(n)        = poolRemaining(n) * decayBps / 10000
  poolRemaining(n+1) = poolRemaining(n) - release(n)

  Because each period takes a fixed fraction of what is left, emission declines geometrically and the pool is never exhausted abruptly.

• Curve (locked): periodDuration = 30 days (~12.17 periods/year), decayBps = 300 (3% of the remaining pool per period).

Distribution

Rewards are split with a Synthetix-style per-share accumulator — one share per enrolled validator. Enrollment is gated on being in KhromeChain.validators().

Action	Method
