Important things to know about staking

Staking Period

Users can choose to stake into the vault for a specific duration based on the periods available to them on https://araistotle.facticity.ai/settings, such as 6 months. There may be multiple staking periods available, each offering different yields and rewards.

Unstaking Time

Users can request to unstake and withdraw their tokens immediately (~1 second) from any period at any time.

However, unstaking during an active period will result in forfeiting all accrued staking rewards and tier benefits.

Staking Rewards Claim

After a staking period ends, users can unstake and claim their rewards in FACY immediately.

Staking Yield Rate

The yield rate updates dynamically based on the total amount of FACY tokens staked and rewards allocated in FACY tokens. During an active period, the rate will continue to adjust and should not be considered final until the period ends.

Yield Adjustment

The contract includes a mechanism that allows admins to withdraw excess FACY token rewards allocated for a specific staking period. This withdrawal is protected by a 4-hour timelock to ensure transparency and security. The feature is intended to prevent situations where users unstake after the reward pool has been set for a larger group — which would otherwise result in a smaller number of remaining stakers receiving disproportionately high rewards, contrary to the contract’s intended design.

Staking Multiple Times

If a user who already has a stake decides to stake more, the new amount is simply added to their existing staked balance. However, because they are increasing their position at a later time, their effective staking time is adjusted. In practice, this means:

• Their total stake increases, and

• Their effective staking time shifts forward, especially if the newly added stake is larger than the original amount.

This prevents users from gaining an unfair time advantage by adding a large amount of stake late while still benefiting from an old staking time.
