Protocol Architecture

WATER staking V4.4.3 is modular so the system can keep stable user-facing addresses while separating runtime responsibilities.

Responsibility split

• Controller: reward accounting, schedules, staking actions, lock synchronization, penalties and protocol controls.
• Lens: read-only current account/reward/status views.
• Factory: creates/reuses personal vaults.
• Beacon + vault implementation: shared upgradeable logic behind stable personal vault addresses.
• Adapter registry: governance-controlled approval of BNB → WATER adapter contracts.
