Umbra IntelligenceThe more you stake,
the cheaper you research.
Staking UMBRA unlocks fee-discount tiers. Your queries are still paid in USDC; staking just lowers what each one costs. Your tokens stay yours and come back in full when you unstake.
Four tiers
Each tier lowers your per-query fee. Stake more, climb higher.
How staking works
Three things to know before you stake.
A refundable deposit
Staking is not a payment. Your UMBRA sits in an on-chain vault and returns in full when you unstake. There is no lockup and no custodian.
Your tier sets your discount
The backend reads your staked amount and applies the matching discount to every query price. Cross a threshold and the lower price applies on your next prompt.
On-chain and yours
Only your wallet can unstake. The vault is a program PDA derived from your address, so no one else can move your tokens.
Connect to stake
Connect a Solana wallet to stake UMBRA and unlock a discount.
Why two tokens
Payments and staking are deliberately split. It keeps prices stable and rewards long-term holders.
Stable payment
Queries are paid in USDC, so the price of a prompt does not swing with token volatility. You always know what a query costs.
Staking utility
UMBRA is not spent on queries. You stake it for a standing discount, and it is the same token that will carry revenue share and governance later.
Aligned incentives
More usage funds the protocol; stakers get cheaper queries and, on the roadmap, a share of fee revenue and a vote on parameters.
