xTAROT
Staked TAROT (xTAROT) is the gateway for on-chain governance of the Tarot Protocol.
With xTAROT, stakeholders will govern and shape the future of Tarot. This includes the ongoing maintenance of key parameters, fees, and rates in the Tarot Protocol, as well as determining the distribution of fees accrued to the protocol reserves.
Staking TAROT for xTAROT offers the following benefits:
Earn TAROT rewards from protocol revenue through the xTAROT-TAROT Distribution Interlink
Enhanced yield by supplying staked TAROT in lending pools
Increased liquidity across multiple lending pools
Collateralization via the composable xTAROT token
Participation in Tarot DAO governance
Stake xTAROT in partner-incentivized pools for additional rewards
xTAROT and pools for xStaking can be found at tarot.to/stake.
Fee Distribution
With the launch of xTAROT, ongoing fees accrued to the Tarot Protocol will be used to buy back and distribute TAROT rewards to xTAROT holders as follows:
50% → Remain in protocol reserves (as bTAROT and tTokens)
50% → Buy back and distribute TAROT to xTAROT holders
The fees accrued to the Tarot Protocol prior to the launch of xTAROT will remain in protocol reserves (as bTAROT) for future opportunities. The strategy for reserve management, as well as future adjustments to the distribution of ongoing fees, will be at the discretion of protocol governance.
Staking TAROT for xTAROT
TAROT token holders can stake TAROT to receive xTAROT, which represents a share of the xTAROT staking pool. xTAROT is auto-compounding, so the xTAROT/TAROT exchange rate increases over time as staked TAROT is supplied to multiple lending pools, and further increases as protocol fees are used to buy back and distribute additional TAROT rewards to xTAROT holders through the xTAROT-TAROT Distribution Interlink.
Since xTAROT is like a receipt, you can later unstake xTAROT for your share of the underlying TAROT balance at the prevailing exchange rate. Rewards are distributed to the xTAROT staking pool over time, so the share of TAROT rewards will continue to increase simply by holding xTAROT.

Supply Vaults
Behind the scenes, the xTAROT staking pool works like a Tarot Supply Vault, but with no performance fee. Rather, a portion of the ongoing performance fees from Tarot Supply Vaults is used to buy back and distribute TAROT rewards to xTAROT holders.
