Stake sJOE and earn Stablecoin rewards

sJOE staking went live on the 28th February 2022. The new staking option enables you to earn stablecoin rewards in form of USDC. This staking option implements framework of revenue sharing. For every swap on Trader Joe, a 0.05% fee is charged and accrued by the protocol, this is converted into a stablecoin and then distributed to the sJOE Pool every 24 hours. The sJOE staking replaces the xJOE staking, a staking option 'borrowed' from the xSUSHI token.

Trader Joe XYZ's goal with removing the xJOE Interest Bearing Model is to allow for a staking option that improves clarity on rewards and also to lower accessibility barriers.
