Staking FAQ

How is the yield calculated?

Yield is calculated using a simple formula:

annual reward / total staked

However, keep in mind that the rate will continuously change as more people stake or unstake their Vaulta token.

Where does the yield come from?

The Vaulta Network has a pre-allocated 250M EOS staking reward pool that gets released on a halving schedule every 4 years.

For instance, the first period will have 125,000,000 Vaulta spread across 4 years (31,250,000 Vaulta per year).

How long do I need to be staked for?

The staking period has a minimum of 21 days.

You will need to manually unstake your Vaulta or it will be staked indefinitely.

Once you trigger unstaking, you will then have to wait for 21 days before you can claim your rewards.

Why was my matured position automatically sold?

After you unstake and wait the 21 days your position will be automatically be sold when you do any action (like staking or unstaking). You will still need to claim those rewards, but you will not continue to produce yield on the matured position.

Unstaking balances will still accrue rewards until they are claimed. However, any operation you do (staking more for instance) will automatically claim your fully unstaked positions.

Can I immediately un-stake and get my Vaulta token back?

You can immediately start the unstaking action, but you must wait 21 days for that to complete before you can reclaim your tokens.

Does my un-staking Vaulta still produce yield?

Yes, your Vaulta token will continue to produce yield until the end of the staking period, until it is claimed or auto-claimed by doing another action like staking or unstaking.

I didn’t get the exact amount of Vaulta token I was expecting. Why?

When you stake the Vaulta token you get another token in return (REX). In order to make this interface as simple as possible all of the conversions to and from that token are handled for you. However, this sometimes means tiny differences in the amount of Vaulta token you unstake.
