the problem

Staking UX is fragmented: users bounce between wallets, reward accrual is opaque, and shipping a v1 contract usually means locking yourself out of ever fixing it without a risky redeploy and migration.

StakeX had to be upgradeable from day one, transparent about rewards in real time, and usable from whichever wallet a user already trusts.

approach

Upgradeable smart contracts

The contracts follow the UUPS (ERC1967) upgradeable proxy pattern, so logic can evolve without abandoning state or forcing a migration. Rewards accrue on a time basis and are paid in a dedicated ERC20 reward token.

A wallet-agnostic frontend

The frontend is built on wagmi + viem for type-safe, predictable chain interaction, with explicit gas handling so users always understand what they're signing.

  • MetaMask, WalletConnect, Phantom, and Backpack support
  • Explicit gas handling on every transaction
  • Real-time reward tracking straight from chain state
