Staking and Vault Participation

The ClickOptions ecosystem provides two participation channels:

  1. Click Staking – Lock or stake Click tokens to earn rewards and unlock fee discounts.

  2. ClickVault Participation – Contribute stablecoins (USDT/USDC) to the Vault to underwrite option risk and share in platform performance.

Users may participate in either channel independently or combine both for maximum benefits.

Click Staking

Staking Click tokens provides:

  • Commission Discounts → Up to 45% off trading fees when paying in Click (see discount tiers below).

  • Staking Rewards → Earn Click emissions + share of trading revenues.

  • Yield Boost → When combined with Vault participation, staking multiplies APY.

Staking Options

  • Flexible

    • Withdraw anytime.

    • Lower base rewards.

    • Subject to settlement fee if Vault liquidity is stressed.

  • 7-Day Lock

    • Locked until maturity.

    • Rewards are auto-compounded by default at the end of the 7 days.

    • User may enable Auto-Restake to automatically roll into a new 7D cycle.

    • Early exit before maturity triggers a redemption fee.

  • 30-Day Lock

    • Locked until maturity.

    • Rewards are auto-compounded by default at the end of the 30 days.

    • User may enable Auto-Restake to continuously roll into new 30D cycles.

    • Early exit before maturity triggers a redemption fee.

  • Auto-Restake

    • Optional feature available for 7D ay and 30Day lock terms.

    • When enabled, both Click rewards and Vault APY earnings are automatically reinvested.

    • Provides compounded yield growth over time.

ClickVault Participation

The ClickVault is the liquidity pool that underwrites all option risk. Participants deposit USDT/USDC into the Vault and earn performance-based returns linked to platform PnL.

Rewards

  • Vault contributors earn a share of all trading revenue (from ITM + OTM outcomes).

  • APY is dynamic and performance-linked — no fixed rate.

Liquidity Controls

To ensure stability, withdrawals may be restricted under stress conditions:

  • Normal conditions:

    • Full withdrawal allowed at maturity (if locked).

    • Flexible deposits withdrawable anytime.

  • Stress conditions (Vault Liquidity below CLT):

    • Withdrawals capped proportionally.

    • Settlement fee applied on withdrawals.

    • Fees are returned to the Vault to accelerate recovery.

Withdrawal Rules & Penalties

Flexible Stakers

  • Withdrawable anytime.

  • If VaultLiquidity% falls below CLT → withdrawal capped proportionally.

  • Settlement Fee applies if withdrawal demand exceeds available liquidity.

Locked Stakers (7D / 30D)

  • Withdrawable only at maturity.

  • Rewards auto-compounded by default.

  • Can opt-in to Auto-Restake for continuous compounding.

  • No penalty if withdrawn at maturity.

  • Early exit triggers early redemption fee.

  • If VaultLiquidity% < CLT → proportional withdrawal applies, even at maturity.

Liquidity Monitoring & CAR Assessment

The Vault continuously monitors two key ratios:

VaultLiquidity%=Available  LiquidityMaximum  Capacity×100VaultLiquidity\% = \frac{Available \; Liquidity}{Maximum \; Capacity} \times 100
CAR=VaultCapitalRequiredCapitalCAR = \frac{VaultCapital}{RequiredCapital}

  • VaultLiquidity% measures the available liquidity buffer.

  • CAR (Capital Adequacy Ratio) is the health indicator of the Vault.

  • Low CAR triggers more conservative withdrawal allowances.

Withdrawal Control Logic

Withdrawals depend on the VaultLiquidity% zone:

Zone
VL% Range
Withdrawal Allowance
Settlement Fee

Normal Zone

≥ 30%

100% of user stake allowed

0%

Warning Zone

20–29%

100% of user stake allowed

2% flat

Stress Zone

10–19%

50% of user stake allowed

5–10% (scales)

Critical Zone

5–9%

25% of user stake allowed

15% flat

Emergency Stop

< 5%

Withdrawals suspended

Governance vote required

  • Proportional withdrawal caps ensure fairness during liquidity strain.

  • Dynamic settlement fees discourage destabilizing mass exits.

Dynamic Settlement Fee

When VaultLiquidity% falls below the Critical Liquidity Threshold (CLT = 30%), a settlement fee applies:

Fee(VL%)=min⁡(Fmax,f(VL%))Fee(VL\%) = \min \left( F_{max}, f(VL\%) \right)

Where:

Fmax=maximum emergency fee (15%)F_{max} = \text{maximum emergency fee (15\%)}
f(VL%)=scaling function (5–10%) in the Stress Zonef(VL\%) = \text{scaling function (5–10\%) in the Stress Zone}

Dynamic Settlement Fee in Stress Zone

In the Stress Zone (10–19% VaultLiquidity%), withdrawals are capped at 50% and the settlement fee scales linearly from 5% at 19% VL% to 10% at 10% VL%.

Formula:

Fee(VL%)=5%+(19−VL%)9×(10%−5%)Fee(VL\%) = 5\% + \frac{(19 - VL\%)}{9} \times (10\% - 5\%)

Where:

  • At VL% = 19% → Fee = 5%

  • At VL% = 10% → Fee = 10%

  • Values in between scale proportionally

This makes it completely transparent how fees are applied within the Stress Zone.

Recovery Loop

Withdrawal restrictions are automatically lifted once:

CAR≥1.25andVaultLiquidity%≥30%CAR \geq 1.25 \quad \text{and} \quad VaultLiquidity\% \geq 30\%

At this point:

  • Withdrawal caps = removed

  • Settlement fees = reset to 0%

Governance & Transparency

  • Thresholds (CLT, FmaxF_{max}Fmax​, CAR triggers) are hard-coded governance parameters.

  • A real-time dashboard displays:

    • VaultLiquidity%

    • CAR

    • Current withdrawal rules

Users always know exactly what conditions apply.

Click Token Discounts, Staking & Vault Boosts

Traders can reduce fees by paying in Click Token (CLK).

  • 25% discount → Pay fees in Click tokens.

  • 35% discount → Stake Click + pay in Click.

  • 50% discount → Stake Click + participate in ClickVault + pay in Click.

Staking CLICK or stablecoins in the ClickVault unlocks extra discounts + boosted APY.
