Where Your Staked $SKR Goes — And Why It Matters

When you lock $SKR on Hourly Harvest, you are not simply depositing tokens into a black box. The treasury receives your stake and deploys it with intent. ## How Funds Are Allocated A portion of staked funds is held in reserve to guarantee hourly claim payouts throughout your lock period. This reserve is monitored continuously. Your hourly rewards are funded from the moment you lock. The remainder is deployed across three areas: **Ecosystem Liquidity** — We provide liquidity on decentralized exchanges to support the $SKR trading pair. Deeper liquidity means tighter spreads, less slippage, and a healthier market for every holder. **Partnership Deployment** — A portion is allocated to co-investment agreements with partner projects in the Solana ecosystem. These structured deals generate secondary income that supplements staking rewards. **Operations and Security** — Infrastructure costs, security audits, RPC node access, and development are funded from this allocation. ## The Reserve Commitment Hourly Harvest commits to maintaining a claim reserve ratio that covers all active hourly reward obligations at all times. Before any new deployment of funds, the reserve is checked. If the ratio falls below the safety threshold, deployments pause until it is restored. Your hourly claims are never at risk from treasury activities. ## What This Means for Active Claimers Your hourly rewards come from real economic activity — liquidity fees, partnership returns, and ecosystem growth. The more hours you claim, the more you capture of this activity. Stakers who miss windows are effectively donating their share back to the treasury, which strengthens the reserve for everyone else. Active claiming is the optimal strategy. Every hour counts.
