🪺Nest

Nest Begins Emitting CROC at July 2nd 20:00 UTC

The Nest is the core inflation mechanism of Crocodile Finance—where $CROC tokens are minted. By staking $gCROC, you can earn $CROC during expansion epochs and actively participate in the protocol’s growth.

The Nest functions as a locked single-staking platform, where $gCROC holders lock their tokens to receive a share of the protocol’s expansion rewards. This mechanism not only rewards stakers but also helps stabilize the ecosystem by controlling the supply of $CROC.

Nest Mechanics

• Epoch Duration: 6 hours

• Deposit/Withdrawal Lock: 4 epochs after staking or withdrawing $gCROC

• Reward Claim Lock: 2 epochs after claiming rewards

• Claiming Rewards: Locks your staked $gCROC for an additional 4 epochs, with the next $CROC rewards available 2 epochs later

NOTE: $CROC rewards not claimed after 8 epochs without interacting with The Nest are BURNED.

Distribution of $CROC

• 83% of $CROC rewards are given to Nest $gCROC Stakers

• 10% goes to the Treasury

• 4% goes to the Team

• 3% goes to the Development Fund

Expansion Mechanism

Unlike other similar protocols, Crocodile Finance’s expansion model is carefully calibrated to adapt to protocol revenue and market conditions, ensuring sustainability and peg stability.

This conservative approach protects the protocol from excessive inflation while maintaining long-term growth and stability.

Why Stake in the Nest?

• Earn $CROC rewards during expansion epochs

• Actively contribute to protocol stability and governance

• Align with the protocol’s long-term vision
