What's the deal with staking?

What is staking?

Staking is a mechanism where users lock their tokens to receive rewards – but in Fundshare these aren't abstract "crypto interest rates", but real benefits:

  • Money (e.g., dividends from company profits),
  • Products (vouchers for beer, appliances, services),
  • Access (to content, membership, limited editions).

The key difference? Everything works automatically – without manual accounting, reminding customers about rewards, or complicated loyalty systems.


How does it work in practice?

  1. User connects wallet (or logs in via social login).
  2. Clicks "Stake" – chooses how many tokens to lock and for how long.
  3. Receives rewards – e.g., USDC weekly, product voucher, or access to a closed group.

From ice cream shops to breweries

1. Milky Ice: real-time dividends

  • What happens? Investors lock tokens → automatically receive % of ice cream sales profits.
  • Scale: 500 users, over 2 million PLN paid out – without a single manual transfer.
  • "On Fridays I collect USDC to my wallet – like a dividend, but with one click" – says one of the investors.

2. If a brewery went with tokenization...

  • Scenario: Customers lock tokens → receive token-voucher for beer.
  • Why does it work?
    • Voucher can be used to pay for an order,
    • Can be resold if you don't want beer,
    • Brewery has certainty that rewards won't "expire" – customer takes care of collecting them.

3. Token-based gym membership

  • What does it look like?
    • Staking 50 tokens = free entry
    • System automatically checks before entry if wallet has funds,
    • No cards, passwords – doors open automatically.
  • Bonus: Tokens can be sold to someone else (e.g., when you quit the gym).

4. Limited collections

  • Example: A designer creates 100 numbered handbags.
    • Only staking tokens gives the right to purchase,
    • Each token-voucher = guarantee of 1 piece,
    • After sale, tokens of "empty vouchers" are destroyed – supply always = demand.

Why is Fundshare the future?

  • Decentralization without quirks – you log in like Netflix, but have full control.
  • Flexibility – staking period can be any length.
  • Works today – proven at Milky Ice, ready to implement in your business.
