Staking
General Principles
$GHT staking is a mechanism for long-term token holding by users, allowing them to freeze $GHT for a certain period in exchange for rewards, both in $GHT tokens and AP. This system is aimed at encouraging long-term token ownership, as well as regulating their liquidity in the market, which contributes to the stability of the $GHT economy.
Key principles of staking:
The user independently sends $GHT to staking.
APY is formed dynamically, based on the total volume of tokens sent to staking and the balance of supply and demand.
A longer staking period provides increased rewards, encouraging long-term token holding.
Rewards are credited in $GHT and can be used within the ecosystem.
Lack of a fixed pool – all tokens sent to staking are temporarily excluded from circulation but are not held in a separate reserve.
Conditions and Mechanics of Staking
The user can choose one of three token lock-up periods, each with its own APY:
Staking Period
Minimal Price ($GHT)
Base APY (%)
Additional Conditions
30 days
500 $GHT
up to 10%
Fixed term - withdrawal after the term ends
180 days
1 000 $GHT
up to 12%
Fixed term - withdrawal after the term ends
365 days
1 500 $GHT
up to 15%
Fixed term - withdrawal after the term ends, increased AP
Notes:
APY varies depending on the amount of $GHT in staking.
The longer tha staking period of $GHT, the higher the APY.
The more tokens are in the common staking pool, the lower the APY for each user.
At the end of the period, the tokens are automatically unlocked and become available for withdrawal.
Yield calculation formula
The user's reward is calculated using the formula:
Where:
GHTstake – the number of staked tokens,
APY – annual percentage yield,
Days – staking period in days.
Example:
The user staked 10,000 $GHT for 180 days (APY = 12%).
His reward will be: 10,000 $GHT × (12%/365) x 180 = 592 $GHT
Dynamic APY
APY rate is not fixed and is adjusted based on the number of staked tokens:
Where:
APYbase – the initially set yield rate,
GHTstake – the current volume of staked tokens,
GHTtotal – total supply of tokens in circulation,
K – the dynamic correction coefficient of APY (determined by the algorithm).
Hence:
With a large volume of staked $GHT, the yield decreases, which limits excessive payouts.
If the amount of staked $GHT decreases, the APY increases, motivating users to lock more tokens.
Motivation for Long-Term Staking
Users who stake $GHT receive bonus AP that increase their share in future airdrops.
The longer the staking period and the larger the amount, the more AP is awarded.
Withdrawal Limits and Volatility Protection
To prevent a sharp liquidity outflow, following protective mechanisms are present:
Limits on mass withdrawals – if more than 10% of the total staked tokens are attempted to be withdrawn simultaneously, a waiting period is introduced.
Commission for early withdrawal – in case the project implements the possibility of early withdrawal in the future, a penalty in $GHT will be applied.
Conclusion
The staking pool is formed exclusively from users – new tokens are not created, and rewards come from circulating funds.
Dynamic changes in APY regulate the supply and demand of tokens, maintaining economic stability.
Staking performs two main functions:
Creating incentives for long-term ownership of $GHT.
Market liquidity regulation by reducing the number of circulating tokens.
Additional bonuses in the form of AP make staking attractive for active users and Airdrop hunters.
