Staking and distributions
How $BDE holders are paid
Stake your $BDE and earn 7.5% a year, paid in $BDE and guaranteed for the first five years from a locked reserve. After that, staking rewards come from company revenue. $BDE holders also share in revenue through distributions.
Staking rewards

- How to stake
- [Lock-up and unlock terms, and the staking contract]
Staking rewards are a term of the $BDE security, set out in the offering documents. Rewards come from the reserve as tokens, which adds to the number of $BDE in circulation, so holders who don't stake own a smaller share over time.
Distributions
- Source
- Company revenue (trading fees from the stone markets, and registry fees), after costs and reserves
- Policy
- [Distribution policy and any stated rate, exactly as written in the offering documents]
- Frequency
- [For example, quarterly]
- Paid in
- [Currency or token]
- Who qualifies
- [For example, holders on the record date]
Distributions depend on revenue. Past distributions don't predict future ones, and distributions may be reduced, suspended or never paid.
