Staking & Yield
Earn additional yield on spot positions by moving them to your dedicated Staking EVM MPC Vault, where Arkis's operations team stakes them on your behalf — while the staked balance keeps counting toward your portfolio margin.
Staking operations are requested via the support bot in your designated Telegram group (The Telegram Support Bot).
The staking flow
Acquire a spot position on an exchange sub-account (e.g. buy HYPE spot on Hyperliquid).
Request a transfer to your Staking EVM Vault — a dedicated on-chain address assigned exclusively to your organisation.
Arkis stakes on your behalf once tokens arrive (e.g. HYPE → kHYPE via a yield protocol).
The staked position earns yield while remaining inside Arkis's risk framework.
Example request "Please withdraw my 1,000,000 HYPE spot from Hyperliquid sub-account red-tiger to my staking vault and stake it into Kinetic HYPE to convert it into kHYPE."
To unstake, name the asset, the exact amount, and the redemption route:
"Unstake 100,000 kHYPE using native redeem from Staking EVM Vault with address 0x8sx...."
Why the vault matters: portfolio margin on staked assets
The Arkis margin engine includes your Staking EVM Vault balance in your cluster's Health Factor alongside your exchange positions. So:
Cross-component margin — staked tokens in the vault and your exchange positions (e.g. a short perp) are evaluated together, not in isolation.
Carry-trade enablement — hold a long staked spot in the vault and a short perp on an exchange; the engine treats them as offsetting, improving your Health Factor.
Example — leveraged HYPE carry trade
Post $1M USDC as collateral and borrow $5M into a Margin Account.
Arkis moves $6M USDC to your Hyperliquid sub-account.
On Hyperliquid, buy HYPE spot and open a short HYPE perp (delta-neutral).
Request Arkis to move the HYPE spot to your Staking EVM Vault and stake it (e.g. into kHYPE).
The engine now evaluates the vault (staked HYPE) and the Hyperliquid perp together — the long and short legs offset, giving the whole carry trade portfolio-margin treatment and a more capital-efficient Health Factor than valuing each leg alone.
