## Yield Vault Staking

The **Yield Vault** allows $FOTON holders to stake their tokens and earn rewards linked directly to the platform’s fee generation. Deposits of $FLR (wrapped or native), F-Assets, or other ERC-20 tokens can flow into this vault from marketplace fees or other external scripts, which are then distributed to stakers on a periodic (3.5 day epoch) basis.

#### Key Features

* **Epoch-Based Model**: The vault aligns with Flare’s \~3.5-day reward epochs. Staked $FOTON becomes active when a new epoch starts, and any mid-epoch unstaking forfeits that epoch’s rewards for the removed portion.
* **Multiple Token Rewards**: In addition to $FLR/$WFLR, the Yield Vault can distribute other ERC-20 tokens if they are authorized in the Yield Vault contract.
* **Governance Wallet Integration:** Any rewards generated by the Governance Wallet are directed into the Yield Vault and distributed to stakers. This allows community decision-making to contribute tangible benefits to participants.
* **Reward Claims**: Users must manually claim their rewards. Unclaimed rewards remain claimable for up to 26 epochs (\~91 days). After that, they are pruned and redistributed among active stakers.
* **No Fixed “Pool Closure”**: The Yield Vault does not rely on a strict time-lock window. Instead, it continuously operates epoch-to-epoch, utilizing an active/pending stake system which allows participants to join or leave at any time.
* **Incentivized Updates**: A small portion of newly deposited tokens may reward the function caller who finalizes epochs or triggers reward distribution updates.
