Cardinal Staking UI

This repository hosts the UI inteface that powers https://stake.cardinal.so for staking NFTs on Solana.

Use this repo to create and deploy stake pools with built-in reward distribution, or build your own custom interface with our underlying staking protocol.

Installation

To get started, clone the repo and run:

yarn install

Next, run the development server:

yarn run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the staking interface running locally.

Set your Cluster

To access different clusters in the scaffold, set the cluster query parameter in the URL:

• Mainnet - http://localhost:3000?cluster=mainnet
• Devnet - http://localhost:3000?cluster=devnet
• Testnet - http://localhost:3000?cluster=testnet

The default cluster set is mainnet. It's recommended to ensure you have ?cluster=devnet while testing out functionality.

Create a Stake Pool

To create a stake pool, navigate to the admin page located at http://localhost:3000/admin. This page hosts a form to create a stake pool with various configurations.

Note: All configurations in the admin page are optional. Also, filters in the stake pool configuration are union-based, if any one of the conditions is met, then the NFT will be allowed to stake in the pool.

After creating your stake pool, you will receive a Stake Pool Id. View your stake pool at http://localhost:3000/[stakePoolId]

Pool Creation Parameters:

export type StakePoolParams {
    requiresCollections?: PublicKey[];
    requiresCreators?: PublicKey[];
    requiresAuthorization?: boolean;
    overlayText?: string;
    imageUri?: string;
    resetOnStake?: boolean;
  }

Reward Distribution Parameters

export type RewardDistributionParams {
    stakePoolId: PublicKey;
    rewardMintId: PublicKey;
    rewardAmount?: BN;
    rewardDurationSeconds?: BN;
    kind?: RewardDistributorKind;
    maxSupply?: BN;
    supply?: BN;
  }

There are two types of reward distribution (RewardDistributionKind) with Cardinal Staking.

1. Mint - give mint authority of your reward token to the stake pool so the pool can mint on demand
2. Treasury - transfer reward tokens from your wallet to the stake pool, top-up the stake pool treasury balance whenever needed.

Accessing your Stake Pool

In order to easily access your stake pool, airdrop NFTs on devnet for your specific collection and get a stake.cardinal.so/[projectName] url, you'll need to create a Stake Pool metadata object. NOTE if you specified a verified creator in a devnet pool, airdropped NFTs will not be allowed into that pool because your creator will not be verified.

export type StakePoolMetadata = {
  // Name of this stake pool used as an id. Should be in lower-case kebab-case since it is used in the URL as /{name}
  // https://www.theserverside.com/blog/Coffee-Talk-Java-News-Stories-and-Opinions/Why-you-should-make-kebab-case-a-URL-naming-convention-best-practice
  name: string
  // Display name to be displayed in the header. Often the same as name but with capital letters and spaces
  displayName: string
  // Publickey for this stake pool
  stakePoolAddress: PublicKey
  // Default receipt type. Setting this will remove the option for the user to choose which receipt type to use
  receiptType?: ReceiptType
  // Colors object to style the stake page
  colors?: {
    primary: string
    secondary: string
    accent?: string
    fontColor?: string
  }
  // Image url to be used as the icon in the pool selector and the header
  imageUrl?: string
  // Website url if specified will be navigated to when the image in the header is clicked
  websiteUrl?: string
  // Max staked is used to compute percentage of total staked
  maxStaked?: number
  // Links to show at the top right of the page
  links?: { text: string; value: string }[]
  // On devnet when you click the airdrop button on this page it will clone NFTs with this metadata and airdrop to the user
  airdrops?: AirdropMetadata[]
}

In api/mapping.ts, add your own object to the stakePoolMetadatas array. You'll now be able to access your project at http://localhost:3000/[name].

In order to get a custom Cardinal URL, deploy your pool on mainnet and then make a PR to our api/mapping.ts file in this repo with updates containing your pool's metadata.

Deployment and Beyond

Now that you've made and deployed your Cardinal stake pool, you can either stick with Cardinal's UX for the stake pool experience or build your own.

Simply modify pages/[stakePoolId]/index.tsx with your own react styling, and host the stake pool on your own domain.
