Staking

Staking locks INKY or another supported asset in a pool to earn variable daily rewards. The APR is recalculated every day from the pool's performance, so there is no fixed rate: the app shows the one that applies to you. See Staking for the mechanics and Emission for where the rewards come from.

Main products for new contracts: USDT Pool, INKY Pool, INKY Pool 12 months, INKY Pool 36 months, CAKE Pool, and the Arena Staking Pool (36-month lock, earns from Arena activity plus an additive INKY emission).

The 6-month and 24-month plans were discontinued for new contracts (v2.08.0). Active contracts on those terms continue normally until maturity with no rule changes.

Nothing changes for contracts already open. They continue running with original rules until maturity. The discontinuation affects only new contract creation for those terms.

No. Nothing in crypto is guaranteed. Yield is dynamic by design. Daily staking emission is distributed proportionally across eligible contracts. When total staked amount increases, the same emission is split among more participants; when it decreases, distribution occurs over a smaller base. The percentage varies according to total staked amount at that moment.

From two places, depending on the pool. Every INKY pool is paid from the token's daily emission, which is minted by the staking contract and capped: new INKY exists only because someone is staking. Arena Staking Pool is paid from that and from half of every fee the Arena charges on a winning round, so what it pays tracks how much is played. The emission rules, the caps and what has been minted so far are all on the token page, and all of it is on-chain.

With controlled emission, the ecosystem gains predictability and avoids inflationary growth without discipline. The current model provides more predictable emission, inflation and scarcity discipline, long-term sustainability focus, and reduces risk of structural pressure from excessive emission.

In the app at Wallet > Products and each pool/contract screen. Always use app-displayed data as official reference for the current cycle.

Go to Products or Stake, choose pool, tap Stake / Open a new contract, enter amount, review terms, and confirm.

Step by step: Open a contract, with the five screens the app shows.

Yes, at any time, and that is true of a fixed term as well: the term holds the amount you staked, never what it has earned. Rewards sit apart from the amount you put in rather than compounding into it, which is why the rate is an APR and not interest on interest. Harvesting lands instantly up to about US$500 of value; above that it goes into the platform's approval queue and takes up to one cycle.

Step by step: Harvest.

Update app, review the operation, and wait processing window. If it exceeds 24h, contact support with all details.

Update app and wait cycle closing. Check operational pending items. If still divergent, contact support with all details.

This indicates allocation in a product with active contract rules. To release, go to Staking and follow the closing flow according to plan type. Contract creation takes 1 cycle (24h). After that cycle, cancellation may be requested when permitted by the product. After cancellation, there may be one more cycle for finalization.

No. A fixed term is committed for its full length, and that is exactly what you are being paid extra for. Commit an amount you are comfortable leaving alone for the whole period.

Flexible if you might want the money back, fixed-term if you know you will not. A flexible pool pays less because you can leave whenever you like; a fixed term pays more because you have agreed not to. Both credit rewards daily, and on both the rewards are yours to take out at any point, including during a lock.

Because the rate moves. Each pool pays a daily rate that changes, so the figure here is the floor it has been paying rather than a promise. The app shows the current rate for your pool before you confirm anything.

The window the platform settles in, usually once every 24 hours, generally around 09:00 UTC. Activating a contract takes one cycle and so does withdrawing, which is why neither is instant.

Three worth knowing before you commit. The rate is variable and not guaranteed: it moves with what the pool earns, and the figure on this page is a floor from past performance, quoted before the 25% performance fee. The asset itself can fall in value while it is staked, so a pool paying well can still hand back less than you put in. And Inkryptus holds the balances, so a security incident here is a risk you carry with us. Availability also depends on where you live.

It is the pool the Arena pays into. Half of what the house keeps on a winning game goes straight to the people staking behind it, so what this pool earns is tied to how much is played in the Arena rather than to a schedule alone.

Because a commitment is worth something. Money that cannot leave for three years can be put to work differently than money that can leave this afternoon, and the rate is the share of that difference paid back to you.

You can ask on any day, and there is no lock, no notice period and no penalty. The money itself settles on the next cycle rather than the same second, so "flexible" means nothing is holding it, not that it moves instantly. What you have already earned stays yours either way.
