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.

At a Glance

Item	Details
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.

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

1. From the same wallet, deposit Kaia Native USDT to SuperEarn or Unifi.

2. Match the 1:10 ratio — KAIA staked ÷ 10 ≥ USDT deposited. Recognized TVL is the smaller of the two (min).

3. 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 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.
