ATH Staking Guide: Boosting the Development of Gaming and AI Ecosystems

The Aethir Staking Platform is a key component of the Aethir ecosystem. It allows users to stake ATH tokens in two staking pools, thereby contributing to the stability of the network while earning weekly rewards.

Users can choose between Gaming and AI staking pools. Aethir staking servglace provides strong staking returns. By staking in available pools, users will also receive native token rewards from our selected ecosystem partners from the fields of AI and gaming.

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: A Step-by-Step Guide

Using the Aethir staking platform is very simple. Follow the steps below to stake your ATH and start earning rewards:

Packaging ATH

Users connect their wallet to Aethir’s staking platform and navigate to the Wrap – unWrap option, wrap ATH, and receive veATH, which the user can then stake in one of the two available staking pools.

Select a staking pool

Users need to decide whether they want to contribute to the gaming or AI ecosystem. Staking in the ATH – Gaming pool will receive additional rewards from our gaming partners, while staking in the ATH – AI pool will receive additional rewards from our AI partners. Users can also stake in both pools at the same time.

• Gaming Pool Direct Link

• AI Pool Direct Link

Stake ATH

Users deposit veATH tokens into a staking pool of their choice for periods ranging from one week to four years. Once veATH is staked, users will also receive stATH, which can be leveraged on Aethir’s ecosystem partner platforms for additional rewards. To redeem their own principal staking deposit, users must return an equal amount of stATH and veATH.

Key ATH Staking Rewards Information

Here are the key details about the ATH staking rewards.

• Each staking epoch lasts for one week. The staking epoch starts at 00:01 UTC every Thursday and ends at 23:59 UTC the following Wednesday. 23:59 UTC on Wednesday is the deadline for rewards for that staking epoch. If a user stakes ATH at 00:01 on Thursday, they will not be eligible for staking rewards for the previous epoch.

• Staking rewards are not fixed. Rewards vary based on a variety of factors, including the amount of ATH staked, the length of time staked, the total ATH in the pool, and the number of users staking.

• The Reward Power Score is a key factor in determining staking rewards. The Reward Power Score calculation is simple: the number of ATHs a user stakes multiplied by the number of staked epochs for the selected lock-up period. For example, if 1000 ATHs are staked for a week, the Reward Power Score is 1. However, if 1000 ATHs are staked for a year, the Reward Power Score is 52,000 because there are 52 weeks/epochs in a year. The higher the Reward Power Score, the higher the staking rewards. Therefore, longer staking periods result in higher returns for stakers.

ATH Staking FAQ

What is the minimum/maximum duration of the pledge period?

The minimum staking period is one week and the maximum staking period is four years. The period is always calculated as a full week, as each ATH staking epoch lasts for one week.

When does the ATH staking era begin and end?

Staking starts once the user clicks the stake button and signs the transaction. However, a one-week staking epoch starts every Thursday at 00:00 UTC and ends the following Wednesday at 23:59 UTC. For example, if Alice stakes for a week on Tuesday, her stake will end the following Wednesday at 23:59 UTC ( 8+ days in total).

When does my staking end and when can I withdraw my staked tokens?

Users can only withdraw staked tokens after the selected staking period ends. Once a staking period is selected and ATH is staked, users cannot withdraw staked tokens in advance. If a user stakes ATH for one year, they can only withdraw staked tokens after the one-year period expires.

How are the rewards distributed?

ATH staking rewards are distributed to users weekly, based on the amount of veATH locked and the staking period. This is how the “APR” is calculated. Users will also earn additional tokens from Aethir ecosystem partners, calculated the same way as ATH rewards.

When can I claim my rewards?

Participants can claim rewards every Thursday, one week after staking begins. For example, if Bob stakes tokens on Wednesday, July 3, 2024, he can claim rewards starting Thursday, July 11, 2024. After each epoch ends, users can claim rewards for the previous epoch.

How do the amount of staking and staking period affect rewards?

The weekly staked ATH amount and the staking period determine each user’s reward power. Staking more ATH and extending the staking period will increase the user’s reward power score, thereby receiving more rewards.

How does reward calculation work in practice?

Assume Alice stakes 100 tokens for 2 weeks, and Bob stakes 100 tokens for 4 weeks. Each week, the reward pool contains 1000 tokens. Since Bob has chosen a staking period twice as long as Alices, his reward power will be twice that of Alices. Therefore, each week Bob will receive twice as many rewards as Alice. Starting from the third week, Bob will receive all rewards, since he is the only remaining staker and Alices staking period has ended.

How can I increase my reward power to get more weekly rewards?

To increase their Reward Power Score, users can stake more ATH and/or extend the staking period.
