Main pool (sBST)
Rewards
The main pool earns a share of BST emissions. The allocation is set through governance and changes over time; the pool's current yield (APY) is on /stats.
The main governance pool is a simple, one-sided pool: deposit BST, Blocksquare's protocol token, and earn staking rewards in BST. It was the first pool on Oceanpoint. In return for your deposit you receive sBST, which you use to vote on governance-pool and protocol proposals on Snapshot. sBST does not govern Oceanpoint S.à r.l. and does not share Oceanpoint's trading or listing fees.
Pool mechanics
Connect your wallet to the Oceanpoint dApp at app.oceanpoint.fi and deposit BST. You receive sBST, a token that represents your share of the pool. As BST rewards are added to the pool, your sBST is worth more of the underlying BST.
To exit, return your sBST and receive the underlying BST. While your BST is in the pool, you are free to move your sBST to other wallets you control.
There are no fees to deposit to or withdraw from the main pool (beyond Ethereum gas fees).
After you deposit BST to the main pool, a 48-hour lock disables withdrawals. This prevents front-running of reward distributions and encourages long-term participation.
addReward is an external function that anyone can call to deposit BST rewards into the pool. It is meant for Oceanpoint's reward distribution; BST added by anyone else is simply a donation to the pool.
