Anyone holding the token can stake and receive a daily share of those rewards proportional to their stake. Each pool has: * A **minimum** and **maximum** stake amount * A **timelock period** (typically 30 days) — staked tokens cannot be withdrawn until it elapses * An **APY** that updates as more (or fewer) tokens stake * A **rewards reserve** that the project can top up to extend the pool's lifetime ## Step 1 — Open the Staking Page Three ways: * **Explore → Staking** in the top nav — lists all active pools. * **Token page → Staking card** — opens the pool for that token. * **Direct URL** — `/staking/`. Public staking page with Pool Statistics, Stake, and Unstake forms The page is a 3-column layout. ### Left column — Pool stats + your position * **Pool Statistics** — APY, Total Staked across all users, Daily Rewards distributed, Rewards Last (days remaining) * **My Position** — your stake, pending rewards, lock status. Empty until you stake. ### Center column — Stake Tokens * Amount input with **Min / Max** labels showing the per-pool limits * Available balance from your wallet * **Staking Requirements** panel summarises minimum, maximum, timelock, and auto-compounding ### Right column — Unstake Tokens * Amount input with a **Max** quick-fill * **Withdrawal Breakdown** — your staked deposits and the maximum you can withdraw right now * **Important** panel with the unstaking rules ## Step 2 — Stake 1. Connect your wallet. 2. In **Stake Tokens**, enter an amount (within Min/Max). 3. Click **Stake Tokens**, approve in wallet, enter PIN. After confirmation: * The **My Position** card updates with your stake. * Pending rewards start accruing daily. * Your **30-day timelock countdown** begins. ## Step 3 — Watch Rewards Accrue Rewards are distributed daily. Your share = `your stake / Total Staked × Daily Rewards`. The My Position card shows your **pending rewards** in real-time. They are **auto-compounded** — every time you stake more or unstake, accrued rewards are claimed and added to / sent with your transaction. ## Step 4 — Unstake Once the timelock has elapsed (default 30 days from your latest stake): 1. Enter the amount in **Unstake Tokens** — or click **Max** for a full exit. 2. Click **Unstake Tokens**, approve in wallet. 3. Your principal **plus accrued rewards** lands in your wallet. > ⚠️ **Partial unstakes restart the timelock** on the remaining balance. To avoid resetting your timer, withdraw the full **Max** amount in one transaction. ## Best Practices * **Plan around the timelock** — don't stake tokens you'll need within the lock period. * **Compare APYs** — but factor in the project's risk, not just the rate. A 1000% APY on an inactive token isn't a deal. * **Watch the Rewards Last counter** — if a pool's reserve drops below 30 days, APY may collapse soon unless the project tops it up. * **Don't dust-unstake** — pulling 1% to "test" still resets the 30-day clock on the other 99%. ## Troubleshooting | Symptom | Fix | | ---------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Staking page shows "Not Available" | You hold 0 of the token. Buy some via a [token sale](/user-guides/participating-in-token-sale.md) or DEX first | | Stake button disabled | Amount is below Min, above Max, or above your wallet balance | | Unstake button disabled | Timelock hasn't elapsed since your last stake | | APY is 0% | The pool has no rewards left, or no one has staked yet | | Pending rewards stuck at 0 | Wait at least one day after your first stake for the first cycle | ## Related * [Wallet Setup](/user-guides/wallet-setup.md) — install and connect a Hathor wallet * [Participating in a Token Sale](/user-guides/participating-in-token-sale.md) — get tokens to stake * [Claiming Vested Tokens](/user-guides/claiming-vested-tokens.md) — for beneficiaries with vesting allocations --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
