# Kaia CR Mission 1

This document explains how **stKAIA**, the liquid staking token issued by Lair Finance, is recognized and measured as a contribution in the Kaia Foundation's **Contribution Reward (CR) Mission 1**.

CR Mission 1 distributes additional KAIA rewards to participants who **deposit USDT** and **stake KAIA** on the Kaia network at the same time. stKAIA is one of the recognized assets on the KAIA staking side.

| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Recognized asset         | **stKAIA** (Lair Finance LST)                                                                           |
| Recognition scope        | **Direct Holding + supported DeFi (DeFi Composability)**                                                |
| Supported DeFi (initial) | Capybara LST Pool · Morpho stKAIA collateral market · Lair Restaking Vault (rstKAIA)                    |
| Contribution calculation | **Minimum balance (min-balance)** maintained during each Eligible Period (\~10 days), converted to KAIA |
| Double counting          | None — the same stKAIA is counted in only one place at any point in time                                |
| Challenge Period         | **7 days** after each disclosure                                                                        |

> ✅ **Why stKAIA stands out**: stKAIA is recognized not only when held directly in your wallet, but also **while it is being used in supported DeFi protocols**. You can keep earning extra yield (LP, collateral, restaking) without losing your CR contribution recognition.

### 1. Recognition Scope

Both of the following count as contribution for stKAIA:

| Category                                   | Recognized | Description                                                                                                         |
| ------------------------------------------ | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Direct Holding**                         | ✅          | stKAIA held directly in a wallet                                                                                    |
| **DeFi Composability** (derived positions) | ✅          | stKAIA exposure that can be deterministically computed from on-chain state, such as LP shares or lending collateral |

Eligible DeFi protocols are operated and disclosed as a **whitelist**; off-chain or non-deterministic positions are excluded. The whitelist will expand over time after verification, and the full list of covered contracts is shared and kept up to date with the Foundation.

#### Initial Whitelist

| Protocol                                         | Contract Address                             | Recognition Method                                                                              |
| ------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Capybara LST Pool** (stKAIA single-token pool) | `0xb10528e8754f01b77b63ee2fe66e9437881fc410` | User LP share (wallet balance + farm staking) ÷ total LP supply × pool's actual stKAIA holdings |
| **Morpho stKAIA collateral market**              | `0xA8BEebdca34d83C697c302A0594f3c41f3994cd2` | Per-user collateral balance queried directly (raw amount)                                       |
| **Lair Restaking Vault** (rstKAIA)               | `0xbC5349Bee7b4585D9e117876D5c8fD866627a510` | rstKAIA holder share × (vault stKAIA holdings ÷ rstKAIA total supply)                           |

***

### 2. No Double Counting

When stKAIA is deposited into a protocol, it leaves your wallet balance. Each derived position is therefore attributed **only once**, to the wallet that owns the position, and whitelist contract addresses are excluded from direct-holding aggregation to prevent double counting.

At every snapshot we automatically reconcile `Σ (per-wallet attribution) + unattributed = total stKAIA supply`, so no amount is ever counted twice and totals always add up.

***

### 3. Contribution Calculation — Minimum Balance (min-balance)

Per-wallet contribution is the **minimum** stKAIA balance (direct holdings + derived positions combined) maintained during an **Eligible Period (\~10 days)**, converted to KAIA.

* Multiple snapshots are taken during the period, and the **lowest** balance among them is recognized.
* If the balance is zero at any point, the wallet is not recognized for that period.
* The KAIA conversion rate at each snapshot is `total KAIA staked behind stKAIA ÷ total stKAIA supply`.

This matches the minimum-balance indexing the Kaia Foundation applies on the USDT side, so both assets are compared on the same basis in `Recognized TVL = min(USDT deposited, KAIA staked ÷ 10)`.

> ⚠️ **Keep in mind**: recognition is based on the lowest balance you maintain throughout the period. To receive full rewards, **keep your stKAIA (or supported DeFi positions) in place for the entire Eligible Period**. Withdrawing or moving funds to unsupported venues mid-period lowers your recognized amount to that minimum point.

***

### 4. How to Participate

**On the Lair side**

1. **Stake KAIA to receive stKAIA** — deposit KAIA at [Lair Finance Staking](https://app.lair.fi/stake).
2. *(Optional)* Put your stKAIA to work in **supported DeFi** (Capybara LST Pool · Morpho collateral · Lair Restaking). Your CR contribution remains fully recognized while you earn additional DeFi yield.

**On the Kaia Portal side**

3. From the same wallet, deposit **Kaia Native USDT** to SuperEarn or Unifi.
4. Match the **1:10 ratio** — `KAIA staked ÷ 10 ≥ USDT deposited`. Recognized TVL is the smaller of the two (`min`).
5. **Maintain both balances for the entire Period** (\~10 days).

> To have multiple wallets recognized together, use **Account Linking (wallet grouping with a Leader Account)** on the Kaia Portal. USDT deposits, 1:10 matching, wallet grouping, and reward distribution are operated by the Kaia Foundation — follow the [CR Mission Portal](https://portal.kaia.io/cr-mission) for the official flow.

***

### 5. Fairness & Anti-Abuse

* **The calculation method itself is the defense**: with minimum-balance recognition, depositing briefly right before a snapshot or shuffling funds across wallets cannot inflate contributions.
* Snapshot times are not disclosed in advance (randomized intra-day offsets) and are published afterwards, blocking "deposit-right-before-the-snapshot" attempts.
* Abnormal patterns such as high-frequency transfers or circular movements are monitored, and explanations may be requested during the Challenge Period.
* Users who simply hold and use stKAIA normally are never disadvantaged.

***

### 6. Coverage Disclosure (Transparency)

Lair submits the stKAIA that can be **attributed to individual users**, converted to KAIA. A small portion of supply (e.g., held by external contracts or DEX liquidity pools where individual attribution is not possible) cannot be assigned to specific users; this portion is **disclosed every Epoch together with the coverage figure**. The Foundation cross-verifies consistency against on-chain totals within the published recognition scope.

***

### 7. Challenge Period

After each Epoch passes verification, **per-wallet recognized amounts are disclosed**, followed by a **7-day challenge window** before settlement is finalized. If your recognized amount looks incorrect, contact us during this window. Lair directly operates user support and recalculation.

***

### 8. Change Notification Policy

For any change that affects contribution calculation, Lair will **notify the Foundation at least two weeks in advance** and announce it to users:

* Changes to staking/vault contract addresses
* Changes to the per-wallet contribution calculation method
* Changes to the whitelist (recognized protocols)

Service incidents are shared with the Foundation immediately.
