LVMON staking on LeverUp has moved out of whitelist access and is now open to any wallet on Monad. In this episode, we walk through what that means, how the staking mechanic actually works, and why getting in early has a structural yield advantage that most staking programs don't offer.

The key mechanic to understand is the participation rate amplifier. Yield is generated on the total MON vault, but only distributed to wallets that are actively staking LVMON.
