Extended Architectute: Social and Gamification Layers

This diagram explains the additional social and gamification logic that is layered on top of the core staking cycle. It shows how referrals, XP boosts, and progression systems interact with deposits, staking, and rewards to increase user engagement.

The key program roles in this layer are:

Referral Program – establishes inviter–invitee relationships and accrues referral rewards based on staking and deposit activity.

Stardust Program – tracks XP as Stardust, defines progression tiers from Ember to Supernova, and unlocks referral percentages, perks, and fee-sharing opportunities for higher-level users.

The diagram highlights the following processes:

Add Referral – binding a referrer to a new user.

Stake Flow with XP Accrual – normal staking actions that also generate Stardust XP.

Deposit/Withdraw Boost – opening or closing boost positions that apply XP multipliers.

Claim Rewards with Referral + XP – claiming rewards that combine staking income, referral bonuses, and Stardust accrual.
