Enable RARI Staking

An audit wasn’t mentioned in the milestones I think, are you doing an audit specifically for the RARI contracts?

We’re auditing the generic contract. It’ll be used by Arbitrum, Rari, and any other governance that uses it. The audit wasn’t mentioned in the timeline because we expected to finish it in November, but it’s taken longer to schedule than we expected.

Considering the tight timeline, I’m curious: what additional measures are being taken to ensure staking contract security ahead of the audit, considering the timeline now extends?

We’re designing the system with security in mind from the get-go. We’re focusing on a trust-minimized system with safeguards in case any of the pieces (like the oracle) go offline or go rogue. You can read more about the system and see the code here: GitHub - withtally/govstaking

Hi all, the first audit for Staker wrapped up about two weeks ago.

The second audit, which is a public contest, is under way on Sherlock this week. That audit contest wraps up this week. We’re running into the EOY break, so we will be a little slow the last week of December.

Here are the remaining steps to go-live:

  • Dec 22-24: Fix anything uncovered by the audit contest.
  • early January: Configure reward source. That work is tracked in the Staking Incentives thread
  • early January: Connect the staking contracts to the UI
  • (optimistically) mid- or (pessimistically) late-January: all the pieces should be in place to make a DAO proposal to turn on staking rewards

Hi @rafso, is there an update on that, or could you elaborate on the delay? As far as I’m reading the last comment, the staking was planned for January.

Thanks for following up @bitblondy. We’ve completed audits and are ready to deploy on Rari Chain.

We just need the DAO to decide on reward source: treasury RARI or newly-minted RARI?

Thanks @rafso for the update, good to hear you’re ready with the contracts. Can you share, what is missing exactly from the DAO’s side, or who would be responsible for this decision?

My understanding was, that the details were already figured out.
Also, how long would it take to go live after you receive the final details?

Hi Raf! Happy to hear the contracts are ready. Staking rewards will come from Treasury funds which will be bridged from the main Treasury in Ethereum to Rari Chain. We will post the final proposal soon so in about two weeks time they will be ready.

Hi, we’re sorted out on the details.

We’ll deploy the staking contracts by next week, and then the DAO can fund them based on the schedule decided on in [RRC-XX] Rari Staking Incentives (updated 2025).
