A “position” = one stake account per role
Each wallet has one position per role — a Program-Derived Address (PDA) seeded by your wallet and the role:
The reward checkpoints are how the engine pays you only for distributions made after you staked — see How Rewards Work.
The vaults
Staked tokens never sit in a wallet the platform controls. They live in program-owned vaults whose authority is a PDA, so only the program can move them — and only back to you:
This separation is what makes staking non-custodial: your principal and the platform’s reward deposits are distinct, and the program only releases principal to the original staker after a cooldown.
Config
A singleStakingConfig account holds the live parameters — minimums, cooldowns, and the authority keys. These are adjustable on-chain (no redeploy), so the network can tune economics over time. The current values are listed on each Staker Type page.
