Unique Staking Hub is available

Unique Staking Hub enables users to stake their ecosystem tokens to support the development of the Unique Network blockchain and as a mechanism to grow capital while sponsoring dApp transactions on the Unique Network.

Users can stake their tokens and earn an Annual Percentage Yield (APY) while contributing to the health of the Unique Network blockchain. This yield is generated by inflation and taken from the Treasury.

Tokens can be unstaked anytime. However, there is a one-week waiting period for tokens to arrive in the user's wallet.

AppPromotion features will be integrated into Unique Staking. We plan on enabling UNQ/QTZ owners to influence how the apps are sponsored and earn even more rewards as promoted dApps become successful.

Currently, users can stake their tokens only using Substrate wallets, but in future releases, we'll add MetaMask staking functionality.

You can stake coins from both transferable and locked balances. When staking coins, staking always starts from balances that are already locked (vesting, democracy, election).

For example: you have 1000 coins (500 transferable and 500 vested). If you want to stake 400 coins, they will be staked from the vested balance because it's already locked.

However, if you want to stake 600 coins, 500 coins will be staked from the vested balance and the remaining 100 coins from the transferable balance.

The system automatically prioritizes the locked funds. This leads to a more efficient and secure staking experience while maximizing the earning potential of your entire coin balance.
