🪺Cocoon

The Cocoon is the core inflation mechanism of Moth Finance—where $MOTH tokens are minted. By staking $gMOTH, you can earn $MOTH during expansion epochs and actively participate in the protocol’s growth.

The Cocoon functions as a locked single-staking platform, where $gMOTH 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 $MOTH according to the generated revenue and demand.

Cocoon starts emitting $MOTH supply, if above the 1.01 USDC TWAP, on September 18th 00:00 UTC.

Cocoon Mechanics

  • Earn $MOTH rewards during expansion epochs

  • Actively contribute to protocol stability and governance

  • Align with the protocol’s long-term vision

The initial Cocoon prints are guaranteed during the first 3 days (12 epochs).

Why Stake in the Cocoon?

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

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

Expansion Mechanism

  • 83% of $MOTH rewards are given to Cocoon $gMOTH Stakers

  • 10% goes to the Treasury

  • 4% goes to the Team

  • 3% goes to the Development Fund

Distribution of $MOTH

$MOTH rewards not claimed after 8 epochs without interacting with The Nest are used to buy $gMOTH.

  • Epoch Duration: 6 hours

  • Deposit/Withdrawal Lock: 4 epochs after staking or withdrawing $gMOTH

  • Reward Claim Lock: 2 epochs after claiming rewards

  • Both Depositing AND Claiming Rewards: Locks your staked $gMOTH for an additional 4 epochs, with the next $MOTH rewards available 2 epochs later.
