Modeled sTRX receipt units stay fixed after depositing 1,000 TRX at an initial 1:1 rate.
Predict first, then run the system
What grows when sTRX compounds?
Route two hypothetical reward streams through a liquid-staking position. No live rate, wallet action, or guaranteed return is shown.
The center markers represent a fixed number of sTRX receipt units. Predict what rewards change before revealing the path.
The receipt is not the reward.
sTRX represents the position. In this simplified exchange-rate model, rewards change how much TRX each fixed receipt unit can represent. All rates are learner-controlled assumptions.
Governance and energy-rental inputs combine into one assumed rate. Compounding moves the exchange-rate index. Fixed sTRX units multiplied by that index produce modeled redemption value.
rate(t) = (1 + (g + e) / n)n x t
The one-year exchange-rate index for a hypothetical combined 6% rate compounded daily.
Modeled redeemable TRX: fixed units multiplied by the changed exchange-rate index.
Prove you can carry the model somewhere new.
Separate units from value
In this model, 1,000 sTRX units are held for a year with positive reward assumptions. Which state changes?
Choose the causal state, not just the largest number.
Find the counterexample
Both reward assumptions are 0%. After one year, what does this simplified model show?
Use the equation: when r is zero, every growth factor equals one.
Transfer the reasoning
500 TRX, 3% governance plus 1% energy, two years, daily compounding. Which result is plausible?
Estimate first: roughly 4% per year for two years should land a little above 540, not double.
