INKY Pool 12m
A year committed, at a rate a flexible pool does not pay.
APR available in the app
CommitmentLocked12 months
Start from1.98 INKY
- Committed for the full term
- Rewards credited daily, not at the end
- Staked and returned in INKY
Commit for longer. Get paid more for it.
A fixed term pays more than a flexible pool because you are giving something up: access. The longer you can leave it, the more the platform can do with it, and the rate follows.
The terms on offer
Three commitments, each paying more than flexible staking does. The rates on these are large enough that printing one here would read as a promise, so the app states the rate that applies to you at the moment you commit, and this page does not.

*The app shows each pool the rate that applies to it, at the moment you commit. It is not printed here because a fixed-term rate is large enough that a figure on a page like this reads as a promise, and it moves with the term and with what the pool is earning. Inkryptus keeps 25% of the profit, charged on the profit alone and never on the amount you put in.

Simulate the staking
Pick a pool, an amount and a period, and this multiplies the rate that pool is paying today by the days in that period. The performance fee is already taken off what it shows you.
This is a simulation, not a forecast.
- It multiplies the rate a pool is paying today by the period you choose, and a rate moves every day.
- Nothing here is a promise of a result, an offer, or advice.
- It is arithmetic on numbers that will have changed by the time you read them.
How a fixed term goes
The trade is simple, and the part worth reading twice is the one about the term holding it.
- 1
Hold INKY
Every fixed term is in INKY, and only INKY. Your balances are in the wallet, so that is where you check: if what you hold is USDT, swap it for INKY first and it is ready to commit the moment it lands. - 2
Pick a term
Twelve months, thirty-six, or Arena Staking Pool. A longer commitment pays more, because a longer commitment is worth more. - 3
Start staking your INKY
The pool states its own rules over the amount field: rewards daily, the lock until the term ends, and the fee on what it earns. Then you confirm. - 4
It stays there until the term ends
This is the part that is different. The amount is committed for the full term and cannot be withdrawn early, so commit what you are comfortable not touching.

How to claim your profit
And they are yours to harvest or to put back into staking, at any point in the term. This is the part that surprises people: committing for 12 or 36 months commits the amount you staked, never what it earns. The rewards accrue daily from the first week and are yours to harvest the day they do.
- Credited dailyThey build up inside the staking contract every day of the term rather than at the end of it, so a 36-month contract is earning for you from the first week. Harvesting is what moves them out of it and into your balance.
- Yours wheneverHarvest on any day, lock or no lock. The amount you put in keeps earning at the same rate, because the rewards were never counted into it.
- 3 USDT per harvestA flat fee comes out of each one, whatever the amount, deducted in the coin you are claiming at its market rate. Harvesting once a month costs a great deal less than harvesting every day.
- Instant up to 500 USDBelow that value a harvest lands straight away. Above it the request joins the platform's approval queue and settles within one cycle.
Harvesting, step by step
Three screens, and what you put in never moves.
- 1
Open the contract
Products, then the contract with profit sitting in it. What it has earned so far is on the screen. - 2
Ask for the harvest
The app prints the fee and what lands after it, before anything is confirmed. - 3
It reaches your balance
Straight away below the threshold, and inside one cycle above it. The staked amount carries on earning at the same rate.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a fee on what I earn?
Yes: the platform keeps 25% of a staking profit. It is charged on the profit alone and never on the amount you staked, so a fee is only ever taken from money the pool made for you. The rates on this page are the ones the pools themselves pay, which is what the app shows too, and the app states what the fee leaves before you confirm.
Where does the yield actually come from?
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.
Flexible or fixed-term: which one is for me?
Fixed-term if you know you will not need the money back, flexible if you might. A fixed term pays more precisely because you have agreed not to touch it; a flexible pool pays less and lets you leave on any day. Both credit rewards daily, and on both the rewards are yours to take out at any point, including during a lock.
Can I withdraw before the term ends?
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.
What is Arena Staking Pool?
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.
What is a cycle?
The window the platform settles in, usually once every 24 hours, generally around 09:00 UTC. Activating a contract takes one cycle, and at the end of the term the return of your funds takes one as well.
Can I take out what it has earned?
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 500 USD of value; above that it goes into the platform's approval queue and takes up to one cycle.
Why does a longer term pay more?
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.
Are rewards paid at the end?
No, they are credited daily throughout the term. The commitment applies to the amount you staked, not to what it earns.
Is the rate guaranteed for the whole term?
No. Staking rewards are variable, including on a fixed term, so the term fixes how long you commit rather than what you are paid. The app shows the current rate before you commit.
What are the risks of staking?
Four worth knowing before you commit, and the full risk notice has the rest. The rate is variable and not guaranteed: it moves with what the pool earns, and the app states the rate that applies before you commit. The asset itself can fall in value while it is staked. On a fixed term you cannot withdraw before the term ends, so a fall in value is one you have to sit through. And Inkryptus holds the balances, so a security incident here is a risk you carry with us. Availability also depends on where you live.
Pick a term and put your INKY to work.
Twelve months, thirty-six, or the pool the Arena pays into. Rewards land daily from the first week, and they are yours to take out through the whole term.
