The first native token staking mechanism for Shimmer has been made available by The Soonaverse. The $SOON token will be the first to make use of this new feature.
Users will be able to stake $SOON in exchange for yield in the form of additional $SOON and access to specific Soonaverse features.
Users will initially be able to create #NFT collections, tokens, and upvote/downvote collections if they have a staking value of at least 10.
As an anti-spam measure, staking in this role is effective. This is a fantastic start because this will eliminate the need for authors to endure the hassle of obtaining a unique badge before releasing their collections.
What exactly is stake value?
#Staking value is determined by multiplying the user's staked $SOON tokens by the rewards multiplier.
Staking Value = Amount of $SOON Staked * Rewards Multiplier
The rewards multiplier is determined by how long a user wagers their tokens.
The tokens cannot be transferred until the staking time is over since they are locked while being staked. One will only receive the base multiplier if one opts to bet for the required minimum of one week (1x).
They will receive twice the rewards if they stake for the whole 52 weeks. Since the scale is linear, staking for 26 weeks would result in a 1.5X multiplier.
The key to unlocking platform features and discounts is the stake value.
This term was necessary since only considering the number of staked tokens accounts for how long the tokens are locked. By employing the rewards multiplier, staking value provides a complete picture.
Staking value is also used to calculate the proportion of the weekly rewards pool that will be given to each user.
A user will receive 1% (10 / 1,000) of the weekly rewards distribution, for instance, if their stake value is 10 and the total stake value across the entire pool is 1,000.
The person who locked for 52 weeks will win twice the weekly incentives if two people each bet $10 SOON, but only one of them locks for a week.
The Staking process.
Users can stake on the #Soonaverse for a minimum of 1 week and a maximum of 52 weeks.
The tokens are locked for the duration of the investment. The tokens are not locked in a custody solution, which is cool. The time expiry (time lock) feature of the #Shimmer network is used by the built-in functionality of the Soonaverse.
Simply said, when a user invests, the tokens return to their wallet but are now locked and have information that may be used by third parties to verify the stake.
The #Soonaverse UI allows users to view all of their individual stakes.
Tangle is used to store everything to create an immutable path.
The tokens get unstaked once the time lock is through, and users won't start receiving rewards again unless they restake.
Therefore, take caution when staking for only one week, as you would have to restake every week to obtain rewards.
The staking system will look up all staked tokens on the Tangle every week on Thursday at 10:00 am PST, determine how many rewards should go to each address based on staking value, and then distribute the weekly $SOON token prizes in accordance.
Accordingly, customers will receive a fresh claimable amount based on their overall staking value once per week.
SOON Token Rewards
6 million $SOON tokens will be distributed over the course of three years by the @soon_labs
.
The weekly awards start out greater and then gradually decrease over time.
A user can claim the tokens on the @soon_labs
UI after they have been distributed each week.
The user will then receive the $SOON prizes in their wallet, with a time lock that won't release until a year has passed since the distribution event. This reward distribution vesting schedule of one year is separate from the length of the stake.
All prizes have a one-year vesting period. Additionally, the claiming process for these reward tokens will determine when they are considered staked, compounding your overall stake over time.
That's a wrap!
