Stake $ORDER or esORDER to earn VALOR and claim a share of the protocol treasury. Staking is omnichain — you can stake, unstake, vest, and claim rewards from any supported blockchain network.

​
Staking interface

Access the Orderly App and connect your wallet to view your staking portfolio. Orderly Staking Interface Light From the staking page you can:
  • Stake and unstake $ORDER
  • Vest esORDER for $ORDER
  • Redeem VALOR and claim $USDC rewards (legacy system)
  • Redeem VALOR and claim esORDER rewards (new system, effective 4 November 2025)
All staking information is chain-agnostic — consistent across all networks for a given EVM address. Only your $ORDER wallet balance is network-specific.

​
Stake $ORDER

  1. Connect your wallet and view your $ORDER balance.
  2. Click Stake and enter the amount.
  3. After the on-chain transaction succeeds, your staked balance increases and VALOR accrual begins immediately.

​
Unstake $ORDER

  1. Click Unstake and enter the amount. A 7-day unstaking period begins.
  2. During unstaking, the tokens do not accrue VALOR, but previously accrued VALOR is unaffected.
  3. Only one active unstaking request is allowed at a time. A new request merges with the existing one and resets the 7-day timer. For example: 1,000 ORDERunstakingwith5daysleft+anew500ORDER unstaking with 5 days left + a new 500 ORDER request = 1,500 $ORDER available in 7 days from the second request.
  4. You can cancel unstaking at any point during the 7-day period, which restakes the full amount.
  5. After 7 days, claim your unstaked $ORDER on whichever network you are connected to:
    • Ethereum: receive $ORDER (ERC-20)
    • Other networks: receive $ORDER (OFT)

​
VALOR

VALOR is a non-transferable metric (not a token) that measures your staking position based on amount and duration. It can only be earned by staking $ORDER or esORDER.

​
New system (effective 4 November 2025)

  • The new treasury pool receives 30% of Orderly’s net fees daily, settled via an ORDER buyback at the end of each epoch.
  • Approximately 4.13 VALOR is distributed equally every second, proportional to each user’s staked share.
  • VALOR can be redeemed for esORDER.

​
Legacy system

  • The legacy treasury pool no longer receives new revenues.
  • VALOR accrued in the legacy system remains valid and can be used to claim $USDC until the pool is fully redeemed.
  • Legacy VALOR allocations were replicated 1:1 into the new system.

​
Redeem VALOR

In the Reward accrual section, redeem VALOR for esORDER (new system) or $USDC (legacy system). VALOR price:
  • New system: (Treasury pool value) ÷ (Total circulating VALOR)
  • Legacy system: (Treasury pool value) ÷ (Total circulating VALOR) — this ratio is fixed since no new revenue enters the legacy pool.
Redemption process:
  • You can redeem any amount of VALOR at any time (partial or full).
  • All redemptions within an epoch are processed at the same VALOR price at the end of the batch (14-day epoch).
  • Once submitted, a redemption cannot be revoked.
  • Multiple redemption requests can be submitted across different networks.
  • Redeemed VALOR is permanently burned, reducing supply.
  • Redemptions in one system do not affect the other system.
When redeeming VALOR, note which network you are connected to — your rewards will be claimable on that network. This cannot be changed after the transaction is executed.

​
Claim $USDC (legacy system)

After a batch concludes, there is a 2-day waiting period before $USDC becomes claimable. Once settled, you can claim at any time on the network you specified during redemption.

​
Claim esORDER (new system)

After a batch concludes, there is a 7-day waiting period before esORDER becomes claimable. Once claimed, esORDER is automatically staked and begins accruing VALOR immediately.

FAQ

How is staking APR calculated? It is the protocol’s trailing 7-day average daily returns, annualized. Past performance does not guarantee future returns. Daily returns = 30% of protocol daily net revenue ÷ USD equivalent of total staked $ORDER and esORDER. Do I earn back missed VALOR if I cancel unstaking? No. VALOR accrues every second while staked. You do not retroactively earn VALOR for the unstaking period. However, upon cancellation, VALOR accrual resumes immediately. Why can I stake and claim from different chains? Orderly’s omnichain architecture lets you stake on one chain and claim on another. This is optional — you can complete the full flow on a single chain if you prefer. What is OFT? The Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard by LayerZero allows tokens to transfer across blockchains without wrapping or middlechains. It enables Orderly users to receive rewards and interact with the protocol from any supported network.
