# Sherwood Pact (No-Wallet Staking)

The **Sherwood Pact** is for people who want a **diamond-hands reward** but **don't want to hand over their tokens**. It's "proof-of-hold": prove you held through a window, get paid — your $STAG never leaves your wallet.

## How it's different from staking

|                         | Staking               | Sherwood Pact                             |
| ----------------------- | --------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| Do you give up custody? | Tokens are staked     | **No — you keep everything**              |
| Is there a lockup?      | Optional locks        | **No lockup**                             |
| What's rewarded?        | Continuous ETH stream | A **payout for holding** through a window |

## How it works (simple)

1. You enter a **pact** — a commitment to *hold* your $STAG through a time window.
2. You keep your tokens the whole time. You don't send them anywhere.
3. An **indexer** (an automated checker) confirms you actually held — you didn't dump.
4. If you held, your **payout settles on-chain**. If you sold during the window, you forfeit.

## Why it exists

It rewards **real holders** and discourages dumping — without the friction of locking your bag. Perfect if you were going to hold anyway.

## How to do it

1. Go to **stagwifhood.fun/pact**.
2. Connect your wallet.
3. Follow the on-screen steps to start your pact.
4. Hold through the window → claim your payout.

> The Pact contract is audited (CLEAN) and non-custodial — it can verify your hold but it can never take your tokens.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://stag.gitbook.io/stag-docs/earn-real-eth/sherwood-pact.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
