A fixed DEUS incentive pool allocated to xDEUS holders during the second xDEUS staking incentive period. Following the completion of xDEUS Staking Program I, a further 1,000,000 DEUS has been allocated to xDEUS holders participating in the second 90 day governance program. Existing staking positions remain active and retain their accumulated governance and reward weight throughout the program. Staking is available through the Stake page on the DAO Portal, where users mint xDEUS and track estimated rewards in real time.

​
Incentive Pool

  • Total allocation: 1,000,000 DEUS
  • Reward token: DEUS
  • Distribution: vested following the activation period
The incentive pool is fixed. No additional DEUS will be emitted.

​
Program Period

The activation period runs for 90 days:
  • Start: August 17, 2026 at 13:00 UTC
  • End: November 15, 2026 at 13:00 UTC
During this period:
  • Participants stake DEUS and mint xDEUS
  • Voting power accrues based on the veToken multiplier
  • Existing staking positions retain their accumulated governance weight and continue accruing multiplier weight.
  • New staking positions begin accruing multiplier weight from the time they are created.
Because governance weight increases with staking duration, earlier and longer-held positions receive a larger share of the final allocation.

​
Existing Staking Positions

Existing staking positions automatically continue into Program II. No migration, unstaking or restaking is required. Staking positions retain their accumulated governance weight and continue accruing multiplier weight while they remain active.

​
Snapshot

A single voting power snapshot is taken on the Base network at:
  • November 15, 2026 at 13:00 UTC
The snapshot records:
  • Each wallet’s multiplier-weighted voting power
  • The total voting power across all active xDEUS positions
Only voting power held at the snapshot is counted. Positions withdrawn before the snapshot do not contribute to the allocation.

​
Allocation Calculation

Each participant’s share of the incentive pool is calculated as: User Voting Power ÷ Total Voting Power This ratio is applied to the 1,000,000 DEUS pool to determine the participant’s final allocation. Example: If the snapshot records:
  • Total voting power: 10,000,000
  • User voting power: 100,000
Then:
  • Share: 100,000 ÷ 10,000,000 = 1%
  • Allocation: 1% × 1,000,000 DEUS = 10,000 DEUS

​
Estimated Staking APY

The DAO Portal displays an estimated staking APY based on:
  • the fixed incentive pool
  • total xDEUS participation
As more DEUS is staked, the share allocated to each position adjusts.

​
Distribution

Allocations are distributed through the Aragon OSx Capital Distributor.
  • Snapshot: November 15, 2026 at 13:00 UTC
  • Vesting start: November 20, 2026 at 13:00 UTC (5 days after program end)
  • Vesting duration: 30 days (linear)
After the snapshot:
  • Final allocations are calculated from onchain voting power data
  • A distribution contract is deployed onchain
  • Allocations begin vesting at the time specified above
  • Participants claim vested allocations through the DAO Portal
All allocations are verifiable onchain and tied to the wallet holding the xDEUS position at the snapshot.

​
Eligibility

To receive an allocation:
  • DEUS must be staked through the Stake page on the DAO Portal before the snapshot
  • The xDEUS position must remain active and held by the same wallet at the snapshot
Withdrawing a staking position before the snapshot removes its governance weight from the allocation calculation and forfeits its allocation.
