# Simple Staking Contract

A basic staking contract where users stake tokens and earn rewards proportional to their stake.

A basic staking contract where users stake tokens and earn rewards proportional to their stake.

## Explanation

This staking contract implements the standard reward distribution pattern. rewardPerToken tracks accumulated rewards per staked token. The updateReward modifier syncs state before any stake/withdraw to ensure accurate accounting.
