How to Stake on Creators with Pave's Content-to-Earn Model

This is a technical guide on how to use Pave Protocol, the Pave SocialFi platform on Pave zkSync, focusing on its core mechanism: Pave Content Staking.

Step 1: Connecting and Understanding the Model

Navigate to the Pave Protocol Official platform and connect your wallet on the zkSync network. Pave introduces a "Content-to-Earn" model. Instead of staking on a validator, you are staking your tokens on a specific content creator, providing them with social and economic capital.

Step 2: Finding and Staking on a Creator

Go to the "Creators" or "Explore" section.

Browse the list of creators. You can see stats like their total staked amount and number of stakers.

Select a creator you believe in.

In their profile, click "Stake."

Enter the amount of tokens you wish to stake on them and confirm the transaction.

Step 3: How Rewards Are Generated

Your stake does two things: it signals your support for the creator and it makes you eligible for Pave rewards. The protocol distributes rewards to both creators and their stakers based on metrics like the growth of their staked audience. This creates a direct financial alignment between the creator and their community.
