Stake ACT. Build your access tier.
Lock ACT for a chosen duration and the protocol computes a deterministic Capital Access Score from the amount and time committed, a number anyone can verify on-chain rather than a promise anyone has to trust. It's the mechanism proposed in Section 30 of the whitepaper for prioritizing access to Aretia's proposed second capital stage. The program that computes it is live and tested on Solana devnet right now, while ACT isn't trading yet: the least disruptive time to get the infrastructure right before it ever touches mainnet.

Why stake ACT
Staking doesn't change what ACT does today: the transfer fee, the catalyst fund, and the treasury all work exactly as documented whether or not a single wallet ever stakes. What it adds is a way to start building standing now, before there's anything to have standing for.
Priority when Stage Two exists
If the proposed project-finance marketplace in Part VIII of the whitepaper is ever built, staking tier is the proposed mechanism for who sees a project's data room first, not who gets to invest, just who gets to look first.
Commitment is rewarded, not just size
A longer lock earns a higher duration multiplier on top of the amount staked. Someone who commits ACT for a year builds a materially higher score per token than someone locking for a month.
Computed on-chain, checkable by anyone
Your score isn't a number in a database Aretia controls. It's stored in an account on Solana that any wallet, block explorer, or script can read directly, the same self-verification principle behind the mint checker on the Verify page.
Early participation compounds
Because duration is part of the score, staking now, while there's no trading pressure and nothing urgent competing for the same ACT, builds age credit that a wallet staking the same amount later simply won't have yet.
The more ACT you stake, the earlier you see what's investable.
Projects that complete a full catalyst-fund cycle and clear underwriting are proposed to graduate into a separately instrumented investment opportunity, never routed through ACT itself. Staking tier decides who sees that opportunity first and in the most depth, not who's allowed to invest: eligibility to actually commit capital always depends on the holder's own jurisdiction and that instrument's own rules, never on ACT.
Lock ACT for a chosen duration
Amount and duration together compute a Capital Access Score, verifiable on-chain by anyone.
Build tier standing early
Staking now, before Stage Two exists, builds real duration credit a later staker simply won't have yet.
See catalyzed projects first
Higher tiers get earlier notice and deeper access as projects clear underwriting, once this stage is built.
How the Capital Access Score works
One formula, two inputs. Both tables here live in a governance-controlled config account on-chain: the treasury multisig can recalibrate the numbers later without redeploying the program, which matters because there's no real holder-distribution data to calibrate against yet.
One formula. Two inputs.
Your lock period sets a duration multiplier, while the ACT you lock determines the tier available to you. Treat every number here as a documented starting point, not a permanent constant.
Duration multiplier
| Lock period | Multiplier |
|---|---|
| 30 days | 1.00× |
| 90 days | 1.30× |
| 180 days | 1.75× |
| 365 days | 2.60× |
Capital tiers
| Tier | ≈ Supply at 30-day lock | CAS threshold |
|---|---|---|
| 0 (Public) | n/a | below 1,000,000 |
| 1 (Observer) | 0.10% | ≥ 1,000,000 |
| 2 (Participant) | 0.50% | ≥ 5,000,000 |
| 3 (Partner) | 2.00% | ≥ 20,000,000 |
| 4 (Anchor) | 7.50% | ≥ 75,000,000 |
Values shown are documented defaults and can be updated by governance.
What happens when you stake
Choose amount & lock
Pick how much ACT to stake and one of four lock periods. Topping up an existing, still-locked position blends its age fairly rather than resetting the clock for free.
ACT moves to the vault
Tokens transfer to a program-controlled vault, subject to the same transfer fee as any other ACT transfer. What's credited is the actual net amount received, not the amount you sent.
Score & tier compute automatically
CAS = amount × duration multiplier. The resulting tier is cached on your stake account, readable directly from the chain by any wallet or explorer.
Withdraw once the lock matures
Unstaking is only possible after the chosen lock period ends, and the return transfer is subject to the transfer fee like any other ACT movement.
What staking does not do Read this part
Two rules from Section 30 of the whitepaper apply to this program without exception, and will keep applying no matter how the tier system is refined later.
No tier confers investor eligibility. A higher stake or a longer lock changes what a wallet can see and how early. It never changes whether that wallet is legally permitted to invest in anything. That's governed entirely by securities law in the holder's own jurisdiction, independent of anything staked.
ACT's value is never tied to a gated project's returns. Staking ACT can grant visibility into a project's numbers. It never entitles a holder to a share of that project's cash flows, and ACT's own marketed value must never be represented as depending on how any gated project performs.
Also true today: Stage Two, the marketplace this tiering was proposed to gate, does not exist. No project has completed a full catalyst-fund cycle. Staking right now builds a real, on-chain, verifiable score; it does not currently unlock a data room, a listing, or an investment opportunity, because none exist yet. See Section 32 of the whitepaper for the five conditions that would need to be true before that changes.

ACT is live on Solana today, automatically funding a Climate Treasury on every transfer. The wallet brings self-custody across six chains as it ships.
