Liquid Staking Token (st0G)

Liquid Staking Token for 0G

Gimo Finance introduces $st0G as the liquid staking derivative of $A0GI, designed to meet the demands of 0G’s modular and AI-optimized DeFi landscape. It enables users to earn staking rewards while retaining full liquidity, composability, and protocol-level access across the broader ecosystem.

• Yield-Bearing, Fully Composable: $st0G transforms staked $A0GI into a yield-accruing, transferable asset. Users can benefit from continuous staking returns while utilizing $st0G in DeFi applications, maximizing capital efficiency without locking up funds.
• Seamless DeFi Integration: Built to power programmable capital flows, $st0G integrates with lending protocols, liquidity pools, yield optimizers, and more within the 0G ecosystem. This composability supports complex, modular strategies aligned with the needs of autonomous finance.
• Non-Custodial Staking Process: Through Gimo’s Launch App, users stake $A0GI and instantly receive $st0G. This operation is fully decentralized and non-custodial, secured by StaFi’s AI-powered LSaaS framework, ensuring both safety and composability at the protocol level.

Unstaking & Withdrawal Logic

Unstaking begins with burning $st0G to reserve the corresponding $A0GI amount. No rewards accrue after the burn, maintaining accounting clarity. Withdrawals are aligned with 0G’s 22-day epoch cycle:

• Every 24 hours, Gimo receives the principal and rewards from the underlying staking.
• Requests are processed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Note: Rewards accumulation ceases upon initiation of the unstaking process.

Rewards Distribution

Gimo Finance charges a 10% commission on staking rewards, meaning that for every 100 $ A0GI earned, 10 $A0GI is retained as a fee.

Role	Amount	Formula
Users	$90$	$100 × (1 - 0.1)$
Gimo Finance	$10$	$100 × 0.1$

Exchange Rate

The st0G token functions as an interest-bearing asset—its value steadily climbs as staking rewards accrue. When $A0GI is staked through the Gimo Launch App, it moves into the 0G Staking Vault. Rewards are calculated at regular intervals and automatically reflected in the on-chain exchange rate.

The exchange rate ($C_{r}$) is calculated as:

$$C_{r} = \frac{(Q_{stk} - Q_{red}) + Q_{rew} × (1 - R_{com})}{M - N}$$

Where:

• The total amount of $A0GI staked in the Staking Contract: $Q_{tsk}$
• The total amount of redeemed $A0GI: $Q_{red}$
• The amount of staking rewards: $Q_{rew}$
• The commission ratio: $R_{com}$
• The total amount of $st0G minted: $M$
• The total amount of $st0G burned: $N$

Since the protocol does not implement a slashing mechanism, the exchange rate can only increase as rewards accumulate. This means that later redeemers may receive a larger amount of $A0GI upon redemption compared to earlier redeemers.

Yield Structure

The protocol’s yield is determined by three key factors:

• Network Participation Metrics
• Total Protocol Stake
• Market Dynamics
