PAZA stakers play an active role in the ecosystem — providing protocol security through economic alignment, earning a share of platform fees, and participating in governance votes on pool parameters, new asset class approvals, and protocol upgrades.
Fee Sharing
Stakers receive a proportional share of the platform fees generated by active PAZA Asset Pools — aligned with the protocol's growth in TVL and origination volume.
Governance Weight
Staked PAZA grants voting rights on protocol proposals: new pool parameters, asset class expansions, fee adjustments, and emergency measures.
Priority Access
High-staked participants gain early access to new pool allocations — particularly for over-subscribed institutional pools with limited capacity.
Multiplier Rewards
Longer staking lock-ups receive yield multipliers — incentivising long-term alignment between stakeholders and the protocol's asset-backed growth.
Liquidity Mining
PAZA stakers who provide liquidity in designated PAZA Asset Pools earn additional incentives on top of base pool yield, boosting total returns.
Slash Protection
Smart contract slashing is not used in PazaLabs' staking model — PAZA staking rewards are protocol fee shares, not emission-based, maintaining economic alignment without punitive risk.
