# Nest

<figure><img src="/files/FSQuEp7iSD2XM933Fz3t" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**The Nest** is the core inflation mechanism of Fang Finance; where **$FANG** tokens are minted. By staking **$gFANG**, you can earn **$FANG** during expansion epochs and actively participate in the protocol’s growth.

The Nest functions as a **locked single-staking platform**, where **$gFANG** holders briefly lock their tokens to receive a share of the protocol’s expansion rewards ( revenue ). This mechanism not only rewards stakers but also helps stabilize the ecosystem by adjusting the supply of **$FANG** according to the generated revenue and demand.

Nest starts emitting $FANG supply, if above the 1.01 ETH TWAP, on **Febuary X 00:00 UTC.**

### Nest Mechanics

* Earn **$FANG** rewards during expansion epochs
* Actively contribute to protocol stability and governance
* Align with the protocol’s long-term vision

The initial Nest prints are guaranteed during the **first** **X days (X\*4 epochs). NOT CONFIRMED YET**

### **Why Stake in the Nest?** <a href="#why-stake-in-the-nest" id="why-stake-in-the-nest"></a>

This conservative approach protects the protocol from excessive inflation while maintaining long-term growth and stability.

Unlike other similar protocols, Fang Finance’s expansion model is carefully calibrated to adapt to protocol revenue and market conditions, ensuring sustainability and peg stability.

#### **Expansion Mechanism** <a href="#expansion-mechanism" id="expansion-mechanism"></a>

* **83%** of $FANG rewards are given to Nest $gFANG Stakers
* **10%** goes to the Treasury
* **4%** goes to the Team
* **3%** goes to the Development Fund

### **Distribution of $FANG**  <a href="#distribution-of-usdsnake" id="distribution-of-usdsnake"></a>

{% hint style="info" %}
**$FANG rewards not claimed after 8 epochs without interacting with The Nest are used to buy $gFANG.**
{% endhint %}

* **Epoch Duration:** 6 hours
* **Deposit/Withdrawal Lock:** 4 epochs after staking or withdrawing **$gFANG**&#x20;
* **Reward Claim Lock:** 2 epochs after claiming rewards
* **Both Depositing AND Claiming Rewards:** Locks your staked **$gFANG** for an additional 4 epochs, with the next **$FANG** rewards available 2 epochs later.
