$NPCS staking allows you to lock or flexibly stake your $NPCS tokens to earn rewards. By staking, you support the network and, in return, receive rewards paid in $xNPCS, our AI agent protocol token.

Rewards are paid in $xNPCS, the native token of our AI agent protocol. The amount you earn depends on your staking tier and whether you choose locked or flexible staking.

Yes, there are two types of APR boosts available for $NPCS staking, both exclusive to locked staking. First boost: The first 500 stakers who participate in locked staking and will receive a 100% APR boost for the first month. To qualify, you must stake a minimum of $250 worth of $NPCS. This boost is available for a limited time. Second boost: By staking larger amounts of $NPCS in locked staking, you unlock additional APR boosts that increase your rewards. These tiered boosts are designed to reward your long-term commitment and grow with the size of your stake: Stake $1,000 worth of $NPCS or more to unlock an additional 2% APR boost. Stake $5,000 worth of $NPCS or more to unlock an additional 3% APR boost. Stake $10,000 worth of $NPCS or more to unlock an additional 4% APR boost. Stake $25,000 worth of $NPCS or more to unlock an additional 5% APR boost.

- Locked Staking: Your $NPCS tokens are locked for a fixed period, during which you cannot withdraw them. This option offers higher APRs and qualifies for the 1-month 100% APR boost (for the first 500 stakers with a minimum of $250 worth of $NPCS). - Flexible Staking: You can withdraw your $NPCS tokens at any time after the 14-day unstake period. This option provides more flexibility but offers lower APRs compared to locked staking.

The unstake period for both locked and flexible staking is 14 days. Once you initiate an unstake, your $NPCS tokens will be available for withdrawal after 14 days.

There is no minimum or maximum staking amount for general staking. However, to qualify for the 1-month 100% APR boost, you must stake a minimum of $250 worth of $NPCS in locked staking.

TThe annual percentage rates (APRs) for staking $NPCS are as follows: - Bronze Tier: 11% APR Locked / 9% flexible - Silver Tier: 13% APR Locked / 11% Flexible - Gold Tier: 17% APR Locked / 15% flexible - Platinum Tier: 22% APR Locked / 20% flexible Note: APRs apply to both locked and flexible staking, but the 100% APR boost for the first month is exclusive to locked staking for the first 500 stakers meeting the $250 minimum worth of $NPCS.

To start staking, simply deposit your $NPCS tokens into the staking platform, choose between locked or flexible staking, and select your desired tier. Ensure you stake at least $250 worth of $NPCS in locked staking to qualify for the 1-month 100% APR boost if you’re among the first 500 stakers. Additionally, by staking $1,000 or more worth of $NPCS, you unlock a second boost that increases your staking rewards, allowing you to earn even more for larger stakes. These enhanced benefits apply to locked staking recognizing and rewarding your long-term dedication to the project.
