Staking Mechanism

Introduction

The NELX Lending DeFi Protocol introduces a forward-thinking Staking Mechanism designed to align NELX token holders with the protocol’s success. By committing their tokens for a set duration, participants earn rewards sourced from the protocol’s diverse revenue streams. This mechanism encourages long-term participation and shared prosperity within the Nebeus ecosystem.


How Staking Works

The Staking Mechanism enables NELX holders to lock their tokens in the protocol and earn rewards that reflect their contribution. This ensures active participation in the NELX Lending DeFi Protocol’s growth and income generation.

  1. Income Sources:

    Staking rewards are funded by 40% of the protocol’s net income, derived from multiple revenue streams:

    • Interest Rate Repayments: Income from borrowers repaying loans with interest, serving as a key revenue stream.

    • Loan Origination Fees: Fees charged at the start of loans, adding to the protocol’s earnings.

    • Transaction Fees: Fees applied to activities like token swaps and withdrawals.

    • Platform Service Fees: Revenue from various services offered by the protocol.

    • DeFi Integrations: Earnings from liquidity provision and partnerships within the decentralized finance space.

    • Onboard New Assets Fees: Revenue generated when new assets are introduced to expand the protocol’s ecosystem.

  2. Staking Eligibility:

    • NELX holders must stake their tokens in the NELX Lending DeFi Protocol Staking Pool, a secure and transparent smart contract.

    • The minimum staking duration is 4 months, with higher rewards for extended commitments. Participants staking for less than 6 months receive standard rewards, while those staking for more than 6 months earn 130% rewards, incentivizing longer-term engagement.

  3. Reward Distribution:

    • Rewards are distributed weekly for most networks, ensuring prompt incentives for participants. For high-fee networks like Ethereum, rewards are issued monthly to optimize costs.

    • Longer commitments unlock greater multipliers, encouraging sustained participation.


Key Features of the Mechanism

  1. Proportional Rewards:

    • Rewards are calculated based on the amount staked and the duration of the commitment.

  2. Transparency:

    • A user-friendly dashboard provides real-time updates on earnings, staking status, and pool performance.

  3. Flexibility:

    • Users can withdraw staked tokens after the minimum period. Early withdrawals result in forfeiture of pending rewards for the period.

  4. Sustainability:

    • By limiting staking rewards to 40% of net income, the protocol ensures resources are available for continued development.


Benefits for NELX Holders

  1. Passive Income:

    • Earn consistent rewards while holding NELX, complemented by potential token appreciation.

  2. Shared Success:

    • Participate directly in the protocol’s financial growth, fostering a strong community bond.

  3. Long-Term Engagement:

    • Incentives encourage holding NELX for extended periods, reducing speculative activity.
