Hey there, crypto-enthusiasts and DeFi adventurers! Let’s dive into one of Stakehouse Den’s clever mechanics — the Refrigerator — which plays a quiet but pivotal role in how Hot Sauce is managed and scaled in the platform ecosystem.
What’s the Refrigerator?
In Stakehouse Den, when you stake cards, you begin accruing Hot Sauce — the token output tied to that staking activity. But you can’t just let it pile up indefinitely. The Refrigerator is the storage system for your claimed Hot Sauce. Think of it as your safe vault — once you've claimed Hot Sauce, it lives in the Refrigerator until you decide to use or withdraw it. As a default setup, you get 50 $HotSauce worth of free storage.
Scaling Storage: From Free to Massive
Here’s where it gets interesting. If you want more storage, you can burn $SCRIPT (a native utility token) to upgrade your Refrigerator’s capacity — and at the same time amplify your total storage potential. Below is a quick breakdown of how upgrades map to multipliers and capacity:
| $SCRIPT Burned | Multiplier | Total Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3× | 150 |
| 5 | 4× | 1,000 |
| 25 | 5× | 6,250 |
| 50 | 6× | 15,000 |
| 100 | 7× | 35,000 |
| 250 | 8× | 100,000 |
| 500 | 9× | 225,000 |
| 1,000 | 10× | 500,000 |
So for example, by burning 25 $SCRIPT, your Refrigerator jumps to 5× — meaning you’d have a capacity of 6,250 $HotSauce total.
Why It Matters
This mechanism is smartly designed for multiple reasons:
Incentivization: Users with higher commitment (willing to burn more $SCRIPT) get better capacity and return potential.
Scarcity & Value: The burning mechanic introduces a deflationary pressure on SCRIPT.
Growth support: As participants’ holdings grow, there’s room to scale without requiring constant withdrawals or transfers.
