How it works

Stake to advertise.
Unstake to get it back.

A plain-language walkthrough of the stake-once model — the process, why it beats pay-per-click on cost, and exactly how your funds come back to you.

The process

Staking, step by step

Acquire & hold Space Coin

Get Space Coin into your wallet. This is the capital you'll put to work — it stays yours throughout.

Stake it to a campaign

Lock your Space Coin into an advertising stake. That single commitment funds your visibility — no per-click bidding, no budget meter ticking down on every tap.

Advertise & track

Your stake powers reach across the network. Monitor performance transparently while your capital remains staked rather than spent.

Unstake when you're done

Finished, or reallocating to a new campaign? Unstake, and your funds return to your wallet — subject to the protocol's unstaking terms.

The difference

Staking vs pay-per-click

The core distinction is simple: PPC consumes your budget; staking deploys it.

Stake-once with Space Coin

  • Stake a single time — no per-click auctions
  • Your capital is deployed, not burned
  • Unstake to recover your funds when you're done
  • Transparent, verifiable on-chain
  • Predictable — no runaway click costs

Traditional pay-per-click

  • Pay for every click, forever
  • Spend is gone the moment it's charged
  • Nothing to recover — budget is consumed
  • Opaque auction pricing you don't control
  • Costs spike with competition and bots
Your money

How you get your funds back

This is the part that makes staking fundamentally different from buying clicks. When you stake Space Coin, you aren't paying a vendor — you're locking your own capital into the advertising mechanism. It remains attributable to you the entire time.

When a campaign wraps up, or you simply want your capital elsewhere, you initiate an unstake. After the protocol's unstaking process completes, the funds return to your wallet. You advertised — and your principal came home, rather than disappearing into an ad network's revenue.

Note: unstaking is governed by the protocol's terms (including any unbonding period), and digital-asset values can change while staked. This page is informational, not financial advice.
