The Aethir staking platform is a key component of the Aethir ecosystem. It allows users to stake ATH tokens in two staking pools to contribute to the network's stability and earn weekly rewards.
Users can choose between the Gaming and AI staking pools. The Aethir staking service offers strong staking returns. By staking in the available pools, users will also receive native token rewards from our selected ecosystem partners in the AI and gaming fields.
Additionally, when staking ATH, users will receive our liquidity staking token, stATH, which can be used on partner platforms to earn additional rewards.
How to Stake ATH: Step-by-Step Guide
Using the Aethir staking platform is straightforward. Follow these steps to stake your ATH and start earning rewards:
Wrap ATH
Connect your wallet to the Aethir staking platform and navigate to the Wrap - unWrap option to wrap your ATH and receive veATH, which can then be staked in one of the two available staking pools.
Choose Staking Pool
Decide whether you want to contribute to the gaming or AI ecosystem. Staking in the ATH - Gaming pool will earn additional rewards from our gaming partners, while staking in the ATH - AI pool will earn additional rewards from our AI partners. Users can also stake in both pools simultaneously.
Stake ATH
Deposit veATH tokens into the chosen staking pool for a period ranging from one week to four years. Once veATH is staked, users will also receive stATH, which can be utilized within the Aethir ecosystem partner platforms to earn additional rewards. To redeem the principal staked deposit, users must return an equivalent amount of stATH and veATH.
Key ATH Staking Reward Information
Here are key details about ATH staking rewards.
Each staking epoch lasts one week. Staking epochs start at 00:01 UTC on Thursdays and end at 23:59 UTC on the following Wednesday. Wednesday 23:59 UTC is the deadline for the staking epoch rewards. Staking ATH at 00:01 on Thursday will not qualify for the previous epoch's staking rewards.
Staking rewards are not fixed. Rewards vary based on multiple factors, including the amount of staked ATH, staking duration, total ATH in the pool, and the number of staking users.
Reward power score is a key factor in determining staking rewards. The reward power score is calculated simply by multiplying the user's staked ATH amount by the number of staking epochs selected. For example, staking 1000 ATH for one week results in a reward power score of 1. However, staking 1000 ATH for one year results in a reward power score of 52,000, as there are 52 weeks/epochs in a year. A higher reward power score leads to higher staking rewards. Therefore, longer staking periods yield higher returns for stakers.
ATH Staking FAQs
What are the shortest and longest staking periods?
The shortest staking period is one week, and the longest is four years. The periods are always calculated in whole weeks, as each ATH staking epoch lasts one week.
When do ATH staking epochs start and end?
Staking begins when the user clicks the staking button and signs the transaction. However, a week's staking epoch starts at 00:00 UTC on Thursdays and ends at 23:59 UTC on the following Wednesday. For example, if Alice stakes for one week on a Tuesday, her staking will end at 23:59 UTC on the following Wednesday (a total of 8+ days).
When does my staking end, and when can I withdraw staked tokens?
Users can only withdraw staked tokens after the selected staking period ends. Once the staking period and staking ATH are chosen, users cannot withdraw staked tokens early. If a user stakes ATH for one year, they can only withdraw staked tokens after the one-year period is complete.
How are rewards distributed?
ATH staking rewards are distributed weekly based on the locked veATH amount and staking duration. This is how the "APR" is calculated. Users will also earn additional tokens from Aethir ecosystem partners, calculated in the same way as ATH rewards.
When can rewards be claimed?
Participants can claim rewards on Thursdays, one week after staking begins. For example, if Bob stakes tokens on Wednesday, July 3, 2024, he can start claiming rewards from Thursday, July 11, 2024. After each epoch ends, users can claim rewards from the previous epoch.
How do staked amounts and staking periods affect rewards?
The amount of staked ATH and the staking period per week determine each user's reward power. Staking more ATH and extending the staking period increase a user's reward power score, leading to higher rewards.
How does reward calculation work in practice?
For example, if Alice stakes 100 tokens for 2 weeks, and Bob stakes 100 tokens for 4 weeks. Each week, the reward pool contains 1000 tokens. Because Bob's chosen staking period is twice as long as Alice's, his reward power will be twice that of Alice's. Therefore, Bob will receive twice the rewards as Alice each week. Starting from the third week, Bob will receive all rewards, as he is the only remaining staker, and Alice's staking period has ended.
How can reward power be increased to earn more weekly rewards?
To increase their reward power score, users can stake more ATH and/or extend the staking period.
