What is Staking?

Simply put, staking is when you lock crypto assets for a certain period of time to help support the operation of a blockchain. In return for staking your crypto, you earn more cryptocurrency.

Cryptocurrencies that allow staking use a consensus mechanism called Proof of Stake.

What is Proof of Stake?

Proof of Stake (PoS) is a consensus mechanism used to verify new cryptocurrency transactions on the blockchain.

The Proof of Stake (PoS) model allows owners of a cryptocurrency to stake coins and create their own validator nodes. The Proof of Stake concept allows users to validate block transactions according to how many coins he or she holds.

In order to enable staking on your account, you need to open the staking page click the “Enable Staking” button.

In order to be able to stake your assets, you have to successfully go through the account verification process and enable 2FA(A notification will be shown otherwise).

Staking Rewards are calculated daily and distributed according to the Payout Frequency on the FMFW.io/staking. Staking rewards are an incentive that blockchains provide to participants. Each blockchain has a set amount of crypto rewards for validating a block of transactions. When you stake crypto and you're chosen to validate transactions, you receive those crypto rewards.

The Staking Reward is credited when the Minimum Daily Balance is more than Minimum Holdings.

Reward = Avg. Staked Balance × K × Annual Yield / 365 ,

where K—the number of days in the current staking period when Staking was turned on.

Daily Reward

Reward for a specific day.

Daily Reward = Minimum Daily Balance × Annual Yield / 365

Minimum Daily Balance

Current Day Minimum Balance

Minimum Holdings

Minimum Holdings is the minimum Total balance required to receive Rewards. The minimum Staking holdings depends on the coin or token.

Avg. Staked Balance

Average staked balance in current staking period on which Rewards will be accrued.

Single sided staking is less risky than providing liquidity on two sides of a trading pair.

Although less likely in single sided staking, Impermanent Loss may occur where the relative price of the deposited asset changes in comparison to their initial value during the deposit. The impermanent nature of this loss exists because the prices of cryptocurrencies can return to their initial exchange price at any given point in time. Once this happens, the loss would no longer exist because it is only permanent if a user takes their funds back from the staking pool.

FMFW.io is not responsible for fluctuations in any cryptocurrency´s price. Further, FMFW.io is not responsible for the security and functionality of any cryptocurrency or blockchain and users should do their own research before using the staking features provided.
