Staking Template

[GuiBibeau]

Background

The Solana Foundation maintains a templates repo with both official and community templates. Developers use these templates with create-solana-dapp to quickly scaffold projects.

Token staking is a fundamental feature in many Solana projects. This task proposes adding a comprehensive Staking template that demonstrates how to build a full-featured staking application with both on-chain program and frontend.

---

Goal

Add a community template at community/staking that includes:

• A Next.js + Tailwind + TypeScript frontend application
• Stake/unstake operations with reward calculations
• User dashboard for monitoring stakes
• Security considerations and best practices documentation

---

Deliverables

1. community/staking/ directory with working template code
2. README.md explaining:
   • Architecture overview of the staking system
   • Links to relevant Anchor and Solana documentation
3. Frontend components:
   • Stake input form with balance checks
   • Unstake interface
   • Rewards display and claim button
   • User dashboard showing active stakes and earned rewards
   • Pool statistics overview
4. Example features:
   • Time-based reward calculations
   • Lock period handling
   • Transaction confirmation and error handling
5. package.json with a create-solana-dapp block for post-install guidance
6. Registration in templates.json so template is discoverable under Community Templates

---

Acceptance Criteria

• A new directory community/staking exists with both smart contract and frontend code
• Frontend demonstrates stake, unstake, and claim operations
• Reward calculation is implemented and documented
• User dashboard displays relevant staking information
• README.md includes security considerations
• Template is registered in templates.json
• pnpm create solana-dapp --template staking works end-to-end
