🪙Passive ETH Rewards
Overview
The staking system allows holders of the staking token to lock their tokens into different pools with varying lockup periods. In return, participants earn ETH rewards distributed pro-rata to their share of the pool. Rewards can be claimed directly in ETH or compounded into additional staking tokens, increasing long-term ownership and reward share.
Pool Structure
AMETA PoolManager oversees all staking pools.
Each pool has:
A lockup period (90, 180, 360 days by default).
A percentage weight of total ETH rewards (10%, 30%, 60% initially).
Revenues deposited into the PoolManager are split between pools as rewards based on these percentages.
Example 100 ETH deposited → 10 ETH goes to the 90-day pool, 30 ETH to the 180-day pool, 60 ETH to the 360-day pool.
Staking
Choose a pool (90, 180, 360 days, or others added later).
Deposit your staking tokens.
Your ownership percentage of the pool = (your tokens staked ÷ total tokens in pool).
This percentage determines your share of ETH rewards.
Rewards
Rewards are funded through ETH contributions generated by Alpha City revenues.
ETH is split across pools based on configured percentages.
Inside each pool, rewards are distributed pro-rata to all stakers.
Claiming Rewards
Claim in ETH → receive your accumulated ETH rewards directly.
Compound → convert your ETH rewards into additional staking tokens (via DEX swap) and automatically stake them back into the same pool.
This increases your pool ownership %.
Future rewards grow faster.
⚠️ Note: Claiming (in ETH or compound) restarts your lock timer for the entire position. If your lock has already expired and you want to unstake, it’s best to unstake first before claiming — otherwise the claim will reset your lock period and you won’t be able to withdraw right away.
Lockup Periods
Each pool enforces its own lockup.
Once tokens are staked, they cannot be withdrawn until the lock period expires.
Adding more tokens or compounding rewards resets your lock timer for the entire position.
Example: If you had 30 days left on a 90-day pool and add more tokens, your entire stake is now locked again for a full 90 days starting from the new deposit.
ℹ️ To keep things simple, compounding just increases your position size — bigger position = bigger share of rewards. And bigger rewards = happier stakers.
