Staking
Section titled “Staking”How to Stake
Section titled “How to Stake”Hold $CNDL in a Solana wallet and stake through the Candle platform to earn rewards and maintain community tier access.
Rewards — the launchpad ETF
Section titled “Rewards — the launchpad ETF”Creators select 0.5% to 10% of each web-launched token’s supply for eligible CNDL stakers. The selected allocation is shown in the launch terms and is reserved when the token is created. Distribution begins after the launch reaches the required lifecycle stage.
The more CNDL an eligible account has staked at the applicable snapshot, the larger its share of that launch’s staker allocation, subject to the distribution rules shown by the claim interface.
Stakers also receive entries into the community giveaway pool distributed from the 10% allocation.
Unstaking
Section titled “Unstaking”| Option | Time | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Standard unstake | 7 days (current on-chain withdrawal timelock) | No fee |
| Immediate unstake | Instant | 20% penalty retained by the protocol |
For a standard unstake, the program records the withdrawal’s completion time as the request timestamp plus the stake pool’s current withdrawalTimelock. The deployed CNDL stake pool was verified at 604800 seconds—7 days—on August 4, 2026.
The timelock is stored in on-chain pool configuration and can be updated by the staking administrator. The Candle interface and external integrations should read the current pool value rather than permanently hard-coding seven days.
Airdrop eligibility is suspended for the duration of an active unstaking period. If you initiate unstaking, you will not receive airdrops until restaked.
