$ACS is a gem!

Access Protocol: show what a stake would actually earn and lock before the user commits

On 15 October 2026, I compared the staking APY on Access Protocol’s Supporters page (30.21%) with the live Hub, where the “Stake rewards APY” box showed 25.88%. Neither displays a date or method, so a new user can’t tell which number applies or what a given stake would earn.

In the Hub’s Market (beta), I also saw “Forever” subscriptions listed at prices such as 10,000 ACS next to a 2 ACS subscription. Since Forever subscriptions are described elsewhere as burning the staked ACS, I couldn’t tell from the card what the buyer receives or why the price differs so much from the stake.

Suggestion: add a staking preview to the “Stake with a creator” flow. The user enters an amount of ACS and picks a creator pool, and before confirming sees an estimated daily reward in ACS, the total amount locked, whether it can be withdrawn and when, and, for Forever subscriptions, a clear warning that the staked ACS is burned permanently. Showing the estimate as a range, with a note that rewards vary with total staked ACS, would also explain why the APY differs between pages.

Question: is the 25.88% APY variable with total staked ACS, and can a Forever subscription’s listing price differ from its original stake?
