Staking Guide

Earn rewards by staking your tokens through Mobots' integrated Liquid Staking Token (LST) providers. This guide covers everything you need to know about staking, unstaking, and managing your staked positions.

What is Liquid Staking?

Liquid Staking allows you to earn rewards on your tokens while maintaining liquidity. Instead of locking your tokens in a traditional staking contract, you receive liquid staking tokens (LSTs) that can be traded or used in other DeFi protocols.

Benefits:

  • Earn staking rewards automatically
  • Maintain liquidity with your staked tokens
  • No lock-up periods
  • Compound rewards over time
  • Access to multiple staking providers

Understanding Rewards

How rewards work:

  • Rewards are automatically compounded
  • APY rates can change based on network conditions
  • Rewards are calculated continuously
  • No manual claiming required for ongoing rewards

Reward calculation:

  • Daily rewards = (Staked amount × APY) ÷ 365
  • Rewards compound automatically
  • Higher APY = more rewards over time

Staking Strategies

Strategy 1: Conservative Staking

Approach: Stake 25-50% of your balance Benefits:

  • Maintain liquidity for trading
  • Earn steady rewards
  • Lower risk exposure

Example:

Total balance: 10 ETH
Staked: 3 ETH (30%)
Available for trading: 7 ETH

Strategy 2: Aggressive Staking

Approach: Stake 75-100% of your balance Benefits:

  • Maximum reward potential
  • Higher compound growth
  • Long-term wealth building

Example:

Total balance: 10 ETH
Staked: 8 ETH (80%)
Available for trading: 2 ETH

Strategy 3: Diversified Staking

Approach: Split staking between multiple providers Benefits:

  • Risk diversification
  • Compare provider performance
  • Access to different features

Example:

Apriori: 5 ETH (50%)
Magma: 3 ETH (30%)
Available: 2 ETH (20%)
