🔒 RICO Staking System

The staking system is one of the core retention layers of the Rico Matrix ecosystem.

Why staking exists

Staking is designed to:

• reward long-term holding

• discourage short-term exits

• strengthen token retention

• create productive utility for holders

• and align long-term participants with ecosystem growth

Core Design

Users stake RICO for fixed periods and earn rewards based on duration.

Available Lock Durations

• 30 days

• 180 days

• 365 days

Longer lock durations are designed to offer stronger reward potential.

Strategic Purpose

The staking layer helps transform RICO from a simple utility token into a longer-duration ecosystem asset.

That matters because:

• staked supply may reduce liquid market pressure

• longer-duration users become more aligned with growth

• compounding can strengthen retention behavior
