$ATR staking
The key to our ecosystem
Staking is the mechanism that transforms a token holder into an active member of the Artrade ecosystem. It is the primary way for users to signal their long-term commitment to the project. In return for locking $ATR for a 90-day period, users unlock the platform's most powerful benefits, including significant discounts, a share of platform revenue, and a fixed APY.
The staking plan
We offer three distinct staking plans, allowing users to choose their level of engagement and reward. The benefits are directly proportional to the amount of $ATR staked.
| Plan | Minimum stake | Lock period | Discount on items | Base APY |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Supporter | 25,000 $ATR | 90 days | 20% | 10% |
| Sponsor | 100,000 $ATR | 90 days | 30% | 15% |
| Ambassador | 250,000 $ATR | 90 days | 40% | 20% |
The renewal bonus
We believe in rewarding our most loyal and long-term community members. When a 90-day staking period concludes, users who choose to renew their stake for another 90 days receive a permanent bonus added to their base APY. This bonus is cumulative with each consecutive renewal.
The renewal bonuses are as follows:
- Supporter: +1% APY per renewal.
- Sponsor: +1.5% APY per renewal.
- Ambassador: +2% APY per renewal.
If a user withdraws their tokens, this accumulated bonus is lost.
A deeper dive into rewards: APY & redistribution
Stakers receive value from two primary sources: a fixed base APY (plus renewal bonuses) and a variable share of all platform revenue.
$ATR Redistribution As detailed in the Tokenomics chapter, 40% of the $ATR from every winning raffle purchase is allocated to the staking rewards pool. This amount is then distributed to all stakers, proportional to their individual share of the total staking pool.
Example of Potential Gains
To illustrate, let's take an example based on an average monthly raffle volume of $50,000 and a total staking pool of ~119M $ATR.
- The monthly reward pool from redistribution would be $20,000 (40% of $50,000).
- A Supporter staking the minimum (25k $ATR) would earn an estimated ~$4.20 per month from redistribution, in addition to their base APY.
- A Sponsor staking the minimum (100k $ATR) would earn an estimated ~$16.80 per month from redistribution.
- An Ambassador staking the minimum (250k $ATR) would earn an estimated ~$42.00 per month from redistribution.
Note: These are estimates. The actual amount varies with the total amount staked in the pool and the monthly sales volume.
Funding & security
The base APY rewards are funded by a dedicated "Staking Rewards" reserve, which was allocated 6.5% of the initial token supply. All staked funds are held in secure, on-chain multi-signature wallets, ensuring the highest level of security and transparency for our community's assets. There has never been a security issue with our staking contracts.
