Understanding Pre-Mainnet ZIGStake Rewards
Staking rewards are calculated based on two factors:
Amount of ZIG Staked: The more ZIG you stake, the higher your rewards.
Duration of Staking: The longer you stake your tokens, the more rewards you earn.
Rewards Calculations
📝Let’s examine four example participants over five months (150 days) to see how different staking actions impact rewards. We’ll assume 250,000,000 ZIG staked, with an annual percentage yield (APY) of 57.6%.
Type | Behavior | Average Stake | Share In Average | Reward |
The Consistent Staker | Stakes 1 Million ZIG from Day 1 and maintains this amount throughout | 1,000,000 ZIG | 1,000,000/250,000,000 * 100 = 0.4% | 0.4% * 70,000,000 = 280.000 ZIG |
The Mid Way Staker | Stakes 1 Million ZIG but unstakes half after 75 Days | [(1,000,000*75) + (500,000*75)] / 150 = 750,000 ZIG | 750,000 / 250,000,000* 100 = 0.3% | 0.3% * 70,000,000 = 210,000 ZIG |
Incremental Staker | Stakes 0.5mn ZIG and increases by 0.1mn every 30 days | [(500,000*30)+(600,000*30)+(700,000*30)+(800,000*30)+(900,000*30)] / 150 = 700,000 ZIG | 700,000 / 250,000,000 * 100 = 0.28% | 0.28% * 70,000,000 = 196,000 ZIG |
Late Starter | Stakes 1 Million ZIG on day 90 | (1,000,000 * 60) /150 = 400,000 ZIG | 400,000 / 250,000,000 * 100 = 0.16% | 0.16% * 70,000,000 = 112,000 ZIG |
This example uses fictional numbers (except for the 70,000,000 reward pool) for illustration purposes only. Actual rewards will depend on total participation and individual staking behavior throughout the program.
The program was designed to be very inclusive, following our goal of making wealth-building opportunities available to everyone. Although the staking rewards will vary depending on how much and how long each person stakes, the annual percentage yield (APY) will be the same for everyone. No bonuses or multipliers favor any group, so the process is fair for all participants.
