Staking Tokens (Step-by-Step)

Staking Walkthrough

You can stake your tokens via the official website stake.everclear.org/stake. The following provides a detailed step-by-step tutorial on how to stake your tokens.

  1. Choose token amount
    Choose the amount of tokens you want to stake.
  2. Select lock duration
    Select how long you want to lock your tokens. Minimum lock is 3 months, maximum is 24 months. Important: Please keep in mind that early withdrawal will incur a fee. The longer you lock your tokens, the higher the APY you earn and the greater your voting power.
  3. Confirm
    Click on the “Confirm” button and approve the transaction in your wallet.

Voting

Directing Liquidity

Once you have staked your tokens, you can participate in the process of directing liquidity and influencing emissions in the Everclear ecosystem. This is done by voting on the blockchain ecosystem of your choice. With each epoch, you can decide which chain or L2 should receive solver incentives. A higher share of incentives for a given chain attracts a larger number of solvers to that chain, increases liquidity, and in doing so, reduces bridging costs.

Here is a step-by-step walkthrough of the voting process:

  1. Navigate to the staking dashboard
    Please visit stake.everclear.org/voting
  2. Select the chain of your choice
    You can only pick one chain
  3. Vote
    Click on “Vote” to confirm your selection

Important: Please keep in mind that you have to vote each epoch as votes do not carry over to the next epoch. Alternatively, you can also delegate your voting power. More on this in the following.

Delegating

Delegating Your Voting Power

Delegating ones voting power is a good option for stakers who do not wish to actively vote in each epoch. The following walks you through the process of delegating voting power:

  1. Navigate to the delegation page
    stake.everclear.org/delegate
  2. Select a delegate of your choice
    Pick a delegate or insert the wallet address of a delegate
  3. Confirm the transaction
    Delegate your voting power to the delegate of your choice by confirming the transaction in your wallet.

Important: Your voting power is delegated indefinitely until you manually revoke it. Be sure to regularly verify that your delegate is actively participating by voting each epoch. Otherwise, you may not receive rewards.

Claiming Rewards

Claim and Relock your Staking Rewards

Stakers need to manually claim and re-lock their rewards.

Rewards are calculated after each epoch and will be available to claim 1 week following the previous epoch.

Here’s a step-by-step instruction on how you can claim your rewards:

  1. Navigate to the staking dashboard
    stake.everclear.org/voting
  2. Claim rewards
    Click on the “Claim Rewards” button to claim your staking rewards.
  3. Relock staking rewards (optional)
    To keep your rewards compounding, please relock your rewards.
