What is a Staking Day?
Each cycle has 7 days. The first day of each cycle is called 'Staking Day', which is the only day where new stakes into any of the three pools can be made. Also, in the case of the Citizen's pool, Staking Day is the only day where a staker can 'un-stake' from the Citizen's pool.
Will I earn REBEL forever if I stake in the Farm or Factory?
Technically, yes. If you stake in the Farm or the Factory, you will be earning some amount of REBEL forever. However, just like mining Bitcoin becomes unprofitable at a point in time when the electrical costs outweigh the revenue generated from mining, there will come a time when the gas fees associated with withdrawing your earnings are larger than the earnings for that cycle. This is when the production becomes unprofitable. Dilution plays a key role in the speed at which this will occur, as well as BSC gas prices. More dilution results in lower staking revenue. Less dilution means you can hold onto your ownership % of the Farm/Factory longer, yielding a higher payout of REBEL.
Is all staking permanent?
All stakes in the Farm and Factory are permanent. The factory locks the LP staked forever, and the Farm burns all REBEL staked into it. The Citizen’s Pool staking is not permanent. Staking in the Citizen’s pool lasts 1 cycle (1 Week). If the staker does not withdraw their Citizen's pool stake on staking day (day 1 of a new cycle), then their stake will be carried over to the next cycle.
Can I re-stake my earnings from the pool back into it?
Yes! If you would like to re-stake your earnings, you can choose to re-stake in the same pool or choose a different pool. This strategy can be beneficial, as it allows you to 'hedge' against different risks in the platform by taking advantage of the benefits of multiple pools simultaneously.
Will the developers/founders use their tokens to stake?
No, we will not. We see this as a conflict of interest. We will not be using our 1,375,000 REBEL to directly stake or vote or participate in platform activities.
