[Contract] — Season Reward Vesting Schedule

[Olowodarey]

Labels: contract, enhancement, season

Problem

Season rewards are paid out in a single lump on season close, which encourages short-term farming and immediate exit rather than sustained participation.

Requirements

1. Split each season reward into a schedule of time-locked tranches.
2. Track claimed vs. unclaimed tranches per recipient.
3. Allow claiming only tranches whose unlock ledger has passed.
4. Make the number and spacing of tranches governance-configurable.

Acceptance Criteria

• Claiming an unvested tranche reverts.
• Total claimed across tranches equals the awarded amount.
• Vesting parameters are configurable and validated.
• Tests cover partial and full vesting claims over time.

I am very interested in taking on the "Season Reward Vesting Schedule" contract for InsightArena. My background in smart contract development, specifically working with time-locked distributions and vesting logic, makes me an ideal fit for this implementation.

Relevant Experience:

• Vesting Logic: Experienced in writing secure, audit-ready smart contracts that handle linear and cliff-based token releases.
• Stellar/EVM Integration: Familiar with the specific nuances of handling reward distributions within a Drips-based ecosystem.
• Clean Code Standards: I prioritize gas efficiency, modularity, and comprehensive test coverage, ensuring that the vesting schedule remains robust under various edge cases.

I have reviewed the repository's requirements and am ready to implement the vesting contract to ensure timely and transparent rewards for the current season. I am available to start immediately and can provide iterative updates as I progress through the development stages.
