Staking

Last Update : 12/3/2025

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:

1. The user independently sends GHT to staking.

2. APY is formed dynamically, based on the volume of tokens sent to staking and the balance of supply and demand.

3. A longer staking period provides increased rewards, encouraging long-term token holding.

4. Rewards are credited in GHT and can be used within the ecosystem.

5. 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	10%	Fixed term - withdrawal after the term ends
180 days	1 000 GHT	12%	Fixed term - withdrawal after the term ends
365 days	1 500 GHT	15%	Fixed term - withdrawal after the term ends, increased AP

Notes:

• APY varies depending on the amount of GHT in staking.

• The more GHT is staked by users, the lower the APY.

• 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:

1. Limits on mass withdrawals – if more than 10% of the total staked tokens are attempted to be withdrawn simultaneously, a waiting period is introduced.

2. 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.
