Staking Pools

The StakingPoolSDK and StakingPoolFactorySDK manage staking pools — configurable long-duration reward distribution for any token. Staking pools are used by both Akita Protocol and third-party projects across Algorand, providing a public utility for token reward distribution.

Initialization

import { StakingPoolSDK, StakingPoolFactorySDK } from '@akta/sdk/staking-pool'

const poolFactory = new StakingPoolFactorySDK({ algorand })

// Interact with an existing pool
const pool = new StakingPoolSDK({
  algorand,
  factoryParams: { appId: poolAppId },
})

Creating a Pool

const pool = await poolFactory.new({
  title: 'AKTA Staking Pool',
  type: StakingPoolStakingType.Standard,
  marketplace: marketplaceAddr,
  stakeKey: { address: stakeKeyAddr, name: 'AKTA' },
  minimumStakeAmount: 1_000_000n,
})

With optional parameters:

const pool = await poolFactory.new({
  sender: myAddress,
  signer: mySigner,
  title: 'Gated Staking Pool',
  type: StakingPoolStakingType.Standard,
  marketplace: marketplaceAddr,
  stakeKey: { address: stakeKeyAddr, name: 'AKTA' },
  minimumStakeAmount: 1_000_000n,
  allowLateSignups: true,
  gateId: gateAppId,
  maxEntries: 100n,
})

Key Features

• Any token — Distribute rewards in any Algorand Standard Asset

• Factory pattern — Anyone can create staking pools
• Impact-based fees — Pool creation fees scale with social impact
• Used across Algorand — A public utility used by Akita and third-party projects

Staking pool operations through a wallet use the StakingPoolPlugin. See Wallet Plugins.
