A Stakers Guide
How to Use Different Staking Protocol Variants on Yieldz.cc
Yieldz.cc offers multiple staking protocol variants, each with unique characteristics that affect how users stake, earn, withdraw, and restake rewards. This guide will help you understand how to deposit tokens, claim rewards, restake, and withdraw in each staking model.
Understanding the Different Staking Variants
Simple Staking
How it works: Users deposit tokens and earn rewards immediately based on the staked amount.
Key features: ✅ No lock-up period → Tokens can be withdrawn anytime. ✅ Rewards accumulate continuously and can be claimed instantly. ✅ No complex mechanics → Great for beginners.
Time-Based Distribution Staking
How it works: Rewards are distributed gradually over time instead of instantly.
Key features: ✅ Rewards are unlocked over a predefined period. ✅ Ensures controlled token issuance to prevent sudden sell-offs. ✅ Encourages long-term staking → Ideal for sustainable staking strategies.
Custom Reward Staking
How it works: Users stake one token (Token A) but receive rewards in a different token (Token B).
Key features: ✅ Allows strategic reward distribution (e.g., governance tokens). ✅ Ideal for projects that want to incentivize liquidity. ✅ Users must monitor reward value fluctuations.
Action Fee Staking
How it works: A small fee is applied on deposits, withdrawals, or restaking actions.
Key features: ✅ Fees (up to 10%) are redistributed among stakers. ✅ Encourages long-term participation by rewarding committed users. ✅ Ideal for projects needing a self-sustaining monetization model.
Stake Lock Staking
How it works: Staked tokens are locked for a fixed period, during which rewards accumulate.
Key features: ✅ Users cannot withdraw tokens before the lock period ends. ✅ Encourages long-term staking commitment. ✅ If restake is enabled, the lock period resets upon restaking.
Depositing Tokens (Stake Deposit)
Regardless of the staking model, the first step is always depositing tokens into the staking protocol.
Navigate to the staking protocol details page.
Click "Deposit" and enter the amount you want to stake.
Click "Deposit Tokens".
A wallet confirmation prompt will appear → Approve the transaction.
Once confirmed, your staked amount will be visible in your staking dashboard.
✅ In Simple Staking, rewards start accumulating immediately. ✅ In Time-Based Staking, rewards will unlock gradually over time.
Claiming Rewards
Once you have earned rewards, you can claim them to your wallet.
Navigate to the staking dashboard.
Locate the "Unclaimed Rewards" section.
Click "Claim [TOKEN]" (or the relevant reward token).
Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
✅ In Simple Staking, rewards are available anytime when they are injected. ✅ In Time-Based Staking, rewards unlock over time → You can only claim what has been unlocked. ✅ In Custom Reward Staking, check the reward token type before claiming.
Restaking Rewards
If the protocol allows restaking, users can compound their earnings by reinvesting their rewards.
Instead of claiming rewards, click "Restake".
Approve the restaking transaction in your wallet.
Your earned rewards will be added to your staked amount, increasing future earnings.
✅ In Stake Lock Staking, restaking resets the lock-up period. ✅ In Action Fee Staking, a small restake fee may apply.
Withdrawing Staked Tokens
If you wish to unstake your tokens, follow these steps:
Click the "Withdraw" tab in the staking dashboard.
Enter the amount you want to withdraw.
Click "Withdraw Tokens".
Confirm the withdrawal in your wallet.
✅ In Simple & Custom Reward Staking, tokens can be withdrawn instantly. ✅ In Time-Based Staking, only unlocked rewards can be withdrawn, until the lock period ends. ✅ In Stake Lock Staking, withdrawal is not possible until the lock period ends. ✅ In Action Fee Staking, a withdrawal fee may apply.
