STFX Staking Tiers

The **STFX** token provides the opportunity for staking over a span of six months, enabling holders to accumulate rewards at an annualized rate of **10%**. This translates to a *5% return over the designated six-month staking period*. These rewards can be claimed and received as liquid $**STFX** tokens at any given time. ### Single Sided Staking
**STFX** tokens can be staked in a fixed term, six-month duration escrow contract. During this lockup phase, stakers will receive rewards at a **10%** annualized interest rate (**5%** notional return over the life of the term). These APR-based rewards can be claimed at any point in time as liquid **STFX** tokens. Although users can unstake their tokens at any time, if they choose to do so before the six-month period concludes, a burn formula will be applied, resulting in a reduced amount returned to the user:
STFX deducted from users as a penalty will be burned from circulating supply. > **Example A.** *No Burn (Unstaking after 180 days):* > > Suppose a user possesses *1,000 STFX tokens* and chooses to engage in the *six-month (180-day) staking period*. At the end of the *180 days*, the user decides to unstake their tokens, resulting in a *5% return* on their initially staked quantity. In this particular scenario, no tokens are burned, and the user is rewarded with their original *1,000 tokens* alongside an additional *50 tokens* as a token of appreciation, thereby accumulating a total of *1,050 STFX tokens*. > **Example B.** *Burn Applied (Unstaking after 60 days):* > > A user holds *1,000 STFX tokens* and stakes them for *six months (180 days)*. The user decides to unstake tokens after just *60 days*. In this period, user have accrued *1.67% in rewards (60 days is 1/3 of the 180-day period, so 5% \* 1/3 = 1.67%)*. User’s total holdings, including rewards, would be *1,016.7 STFX tokens*. Since he is unstaking before the six-month period ends, the burn formula is applied. With 2/3 of the time remaining *(120 days)*, *20%* of the remaining 2/3 portion of the staked amount (*133.4 tokens*) will be burnt. In this case, the user will receive his original *1,016.7 STFX tokens* minus the burnt *133.4 STFX tokens*, resulting in a total of *883.3 STFX tokens* returned to the user. {% content-ref url="/pages/K3w1CJyL6CCP5S85pMjW" %} [$STFX Token](/usdstfx-token.md) {% endcontent-ref %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
