AUTO Token — staking, and the TOKE to AUTO migration
AUTO is the native token of Auto Finance (formerly Tokemak, where it was known as TOKE). Stake AUTO to receive sAUTO and earn staking rewards from the protocol.
FAQ
Is AUTO the same token as TOKE?
AUTO is the native token of Auto Finance and the successor to TOKE, the token of Tokemak, the protocol Auto Finance was previously called. Holders of legacy TOKE migrate to AUTO from the AUTO page on app.auto.finance; the contracts, the team and the documentation carried over unchanged under the new name. Staking AUTO mints sAUTO, which accrues protocol staking rewards, and unstaking follows the protocol's withdrawal cycle.
Why did Tokemak rebrand to Auto Finance?
Tokemak rebranded to Auto Finance to name what the protocol had become. Tokemak launched in 2021 as a liquidity-direction protocol steered by TOKE voters; the current protocol automates the same job outright, with Autopools allocating and rebalancing liquidity on their own rather than by vote. Auto Finance and Tokemak are the same organization and the same codebase lineage — any research, audit or coverage published under the Tokemak name describes this protocol.
What is sAUTO?
sAUTO is the staked form of AUTO, the Auto Finance protocol token. Staking AUTO mints sAUTO, which accrues protocol staking rewards for as long as it is held; unstaking converts sAUTO back to AUTO subject to the protocol's withdrawal cycle. Staking rewards are quoted as an APR, a separate figure from the Autopool yields shown on pool pages.
What is Auto Finance?
Auto Finance (formerly Tokemak) is a decentralized liquidity management protocol that provides fully autonomous, transparent yield optimization for DeFi liquidity providers. Depositors put assets such as ETH, USDC or other stablecoins into Autopools, which automatically allocate and rebalance that liquidity across established DeFi protocols, DEXs and lending markets.
Is AUTO staking available on different blockchains?
No, AUTO staking is only available on Ethereum Mainnet.
When are AUTO staking snapshots taken and how do they affect rewards?
AUTO staking snapshots are automatically taken every week on Tuesdays at 20:30:00 GMT. Each snapshot captures your staked AUTO balance to determine your reward distribution for the upcoming week.
Rewards operate on a backward-looking basis: your staking position and allocations at the time of the Wednesday snapshot determine the rewards you'll earn throughout the following 7-day period. To maximize rewards, ensure your AUTO is staked before the weekly snapshot time.
How do I unstake and withdraw my AUTO tokens?
To unstake and withdraw your AUTO tokens, you must initiate the unstaking process during the final week before your staking period expires. Once your staking duration completes, you can withdraw your AUTO at any time without penalties or cooldown periods.
Important: When you initiate unstaking, you will still earn your full share of AUTO rewards for the final week based on the most recent snapshot. After unstaking, you can restake your AUTO for a new duration if desired.
What rewards do I earn by staking AUTO tokens?
sAUTO (staked AUTO) holders earn AUTO token rewards from multiple revenue sources:
• Protocol-owned assets (POA): Additional rewards from the deployment and management of Auto Finance's treasury assets
Revenue from these sources is used to buy back AUTO tokens on the open market, which are then distributed proportionally to stakers based on their staked balance.
How can I earn AUTO incentives with the ETH/AUTO LP?
Earn AUTO incentives by holding a full-range ETH/AUTO liquidity position on Uniswap V4. No staking required. Rewards typically appear within 2-8 hours, and a claim button will show when you have rewards available.
