Lock $PCH & Earn RewardsHow does PCH staking work?
Lock $PCH and earn up to 350%How it works:
1. Staking Options
Baseline Stake: Stake $PCH tokens without a lock-up period and earn a 5% APR in $PCH tokens (Baseline Interest).Lock Stake: Commit to a fixed lock-up period (6, 12, 24, or ≥36 months) to unlock enhanced rewards, including:
Loyalty Multiplier (leverage on revenue pool share).
Immediate Lock Bonus for choosing a lock-up period upfront.
Access to the Revenue Pool, funded by 70% of platform fees, paid out quarterly in stablecoins.
2. Staking Phases
Cool-Off Phase: After staking, tokens remain inactive for 2–4 weeks before rewards begin accruing.Active Staking Phase: Tokens generate APR, loyalty rewards, and revenue pool shares.
Cool-Down Phase: Upon unstaking, a 2–4-week waiting period applies, during which rewards are paused.
3. Reward Structure
Loyalty Multiplier:≥6 months: x1.2
≥12 months: x1.5
≥24 months: x2.0
≥36 months: x3.0 (capped)
The multiplier applies to your revenue pool share, not the token amount.
Immediate Lock Bonus:
6 months: +25%
12 months: +75%
24 months: +200%
This bonus stacks with the Loyalty Multiplier for enhanced rewards.
Example Calculation:
Staking 100,000 $PCH for 12 months:
Effective Reward Weighting = 100,000 × 1.5 (Loyalty Multiplier) × 1.75 (Lock Bonus) = 262,500 weighting points for revenue pool distribution.
Baseline APR: All stakers earn a 5% APR in $PCH tokens, credited daily via linear emission.
4. Revenue Pool
Funding: 70% of platform fees (in stablecoins) are allocated to the quarterly Revenue Pool.Eligibility: Only Lock Stakers qualify for revenue pool distributions.
Formula: Quarterly distribution (stablecoins) = User’s weighting points ÷ Total weighting points in pool × Revenue Pool size
5. Early Exit Penalty
Unstaking within the first 6 months results in the loss of all bonus rewards (Baseline Interest is preserved).This mechanism discourages rapid withdrawals and promotes long-term liquidity.
6. Compounding & Upgrades
Automatic Reinvestment: Opt-in to restake rewards with a 6-month lock for a +10% bonus on reinvested amounts.Flexible Upgrades: Upgrade your stake to a longer lock-up period at any time to access higher multipliers while preserving existing progress.
Gamification & Community Incentives
Status Levels: Showcase your commitment with eight symbolic tiers (Bronze to Platinum) based on your staking duration and amount.
Community Challenges: Participate in collective goals, such as staking 500 million $PCH, to unlock special top-ups to the Revenue Pool.
Insurance Pool
Purpose: 5% of quarterly payouts can be allocated to a security fund (subject to DAO approval).
Benefit: Stakers with ≥12-month lock-ups are protected against extreme market events, with a partial guarantee of their initial USD investment value.
Reinvestment Requirement
Mandatory Buyback: 10–20% of stablecoin payouts must be reinvested in $PCH and distributed to stakers.
Bonus Incentive: Reinvesting this amount with a 6-month lock earns an additional 10% bonus.
