The contract here is a sublinear staking contract: if you are in the whitelist (specified as an ERC1155 collection), then you can stake N coins, and get a return of N ** 0.75 coins per slot, for as long as the contract has coins to pay for it. There is a fundedUntil mechanism that ensures that if the contract runs out of money, every staker gets rewarded for every slot up to the fundedUntil timestamp, and the mechanism doesn't turn into a fractional reserve.

Bounty of total 2 ETH for identifying any bugs / vulnerabilities in the contract and proposing specific fixes, if multiple issues are found the bounty will be split based on severity.
Amount: 2 ETH

something worth noting the isEligible check only happens on staking, so a user can acquire inline a token to flag true without having to actually hold the token for the duration of the staking.
You'd likely want to do something where the eligible tokenID is locked into the staking contract for the duration.

not a vulnerability, but you probably want a configurable multiplier on getReturnPerSlot, otherwise results depend on token decimals.
for example, stake 1 USDC = 1e6 ^ (3/4) = $0.03 reward per slot
stake 1 DAI = 1e18 ^ (3/4) = $0.00003 reward per slot

Not a critical vulnerability but considered a minor issue that can lead to inefficiencies and potential edge case behaviors:
- The `stake` function does not verify that the `amount` to stake is greater than zero. Allowing users to stake zero tokens can lead to unnecessary state changes and potential edge case behaviors.
- Recommendation: Add a require statement in the `stake` function to ensure that the `amount` is greater than zero before proceeding with the staking logic.

This is pretty incredible to see!
Have you seen our Governance Staking Contracts? To use staking to drive participation in governance?

ive never relly looked into to vyper but in the _unstake function shouldnt there be a require like check if the total amount to be sent back to the user is available in the contract?

@if
looks good overall, but I found a few potential issues:
1.
```vy
def _fundedUntil() -> uint256:
return (
self.liabilitiesLastUpdated
+ (staticcall STAKED_TOKEN_ADDRESS.balanceOf(self) - self.liabilities)
// max(self.totalPayoutPerSlot, 1)
```
If the contract’s balance of the staked token `balanceOf(self)` is less than the total liabilities `self.liabilities`, the subtraction will underflow, causing a revert on `_unstake` method. It might be okay, but it would be better to handle it properly.
2.
```vy
def stake(amount: uint256):
```
A user can stake an amount of 0, which could cause potential issues in other parts. I think adding an assertion `assert amount > 0` if staking a zero amount is not intended.

Ser. Can you make the contract hold an LP position, and pay out the LP yield?
In this way, you have a lower initial payout but it could continue indefinitely.
