STAKING DAPP RELEASE — DETAILS AND TUTORIAL

Staking LIVE — 29th of July

🛸THE EVENT HORIZON IS FINALLY OPENING.🛸

🛸🛸DUAL-STAKING WILL BE LIVE TOMORROW 29th OF JULY.🛸🛸

We are excited to unveil our Staking dApp finally. We will announce when the dApp is live following the conclusion of the Metaverse Party tomorrow.

Reminder: The Metaverse Event will occur on 29.07.2022 at 10:00 am EST and end on 29.07.2022 at 12:00 pm EST.

The Staking dApp will operate on the Polygon Mainnet to minimize gas fees and increase transaction speed. This means that you will need to send Matic to your designated Staking wallet. Don’t worry, it’s all explained in the tutorial section of this article.

In addition to earning Plasma Points, users will earn UFO rewards with our dual-staking mechanism. The UFO Gaming staking dApp will essentially function as a liquidity black hole.

For UFO rewards, there will be a 12-month emission. However, the token emission on the DAPP will not cause any inflation simply because it is already circulating. The tokens are provided by buybacks of ecosystem partners and team members to distribute to loyal community members. Users who single-stake $UFO tokens or UFO-ETH LP tokens will earn Plasma Points and UFO tokens simultaneously. The entire supply of UFO is already circulating.

However, the team and some ecosystem partners have provided the pools with $UFO to reward the community. We are doing this to reward our loyal community and bolster our liquidity significantly, increasing the use-case of our DAPP.

1. Why Stake?

There are two major reasons why staking your UFO tokens makes sense:

You will have the chance at early adoption by earning Plasma Points to mint Genesis NFTs.
By staking UFO tokens or UFO-ETH LP tokens, you are eligible for Dual rewards, both Plasma Points and $UFO.

Plasma Point Emission

While the amount of UFO emitted in the staking dApp is 5% of the circulating supply, the Plasma Point Emission is a little bit more complex.

Similar to traditional games with Patch Notes and updates for stats, economy, items, abilities, and power level — as a P2E game, we will provide Patch Notes on our tokenomics (Plasma emission, UAP emission, and so on) to balance the game.

It is a vital aspect of the game, and finding a balance to the right emissions with both Plasma and UAP will be necessary for sustainability, which is why being able to flexibly tune it depending on inflation is necessary.

The first month’s Plasma Point emission is set to approximately 2,500,000 PP. We will provide continuous updates on the emission, but it will be heavily subject to change in order to balance the game and its economy.

2. Staking Details

(APR is not accurate in this screenshot)

The UFO Gaming Staking dApp provides two pathways for users to deposit tokens to start earning rewards:

UFO tokens
UFO-Eth LP tokens

To obtain the UFO-ETH LP tokens, the users must first obtain the tokens from the Uniswap V2 portal by depositing a defined ratio of UFO and Eth into the liquidity pool and, in return receiving liquidity pool (LP) tokens. This process is explained in the tutorial section.

Regardless of which tokens are deposited into the staking dApp, the rewards are distributed in both UFO and Plasma Points.

The staking process is done entirely on the Polygon Network to reduce the gas fees for the end-users and also to provide a smoother migration onto the polygon network on which the UFO Gaming P2E games are deployed.

Because the UFO and UFO-Eth LP tokens are on the Ethereum Network, the first step users would need to take is to bridge their tokens from the Ethereum Network over to the Polygon Network on the bridge widget on the staking dApp website.

Choose between $UFO single-staking and LP staking — LP Staking’s pool has 75% of the total rewards — Lock duration determines weight rewards — Choose between 1–52 weeks — The longer the lock, the higher the APY.
25% of the total rewards pool will be paid out to the UFO pool, and 75% of them will be paid out to the UFO-ETH LP pool. Additionally, users will be able to lock their stakes for up to 52 weeks (choosing any duration between 0–52 weeks in increments of 2 weeks).

Single-staking $UFO gives you $UFO and Plasma Point rewards (lower weight of the rewards).
Staking UFO-ETH LP tokens gives you UFO and Plasma Point Rewards (higher weight of the rewards).
Choose between “No Lock” or “Locked” staking. Locked staking gives more rewards.
No lock = 1x rewards (unstake at any time).
Locked for 0–52 weeks = 1–2x rewards.
You can unstake at any time if you choose “No Lock/Flexible Staking.”
You’ll continue to get rewards until you unstake your position.
There will be a separate claim button for Plasma Points and UFO rewards.
When you press “unstake”, your entire stake will be withdrawn.

Plasma Points

Needed to mint a Genesis NFT.
Plasma Points will be claimable and distributed right away.
When you “claim” Plasma Point rewards, they will be unlocked after pushing the “claim” button.

UFO Rewards

UFO Rewards will have a vesting schedule of 12 months.
When you “claim” UFO rewards, they will be unlocked 12 months after pushing the “claim” button.
The second you press claim, the release of the rewards will come 12 months later. If you claim today, you’ll receive the current reward batch 18.04.2010. If you still stake and press the claim button in 1 week, you’ll get the rewards accrued for that week 12 months later, 18.04.2011, and so on.

Don’t forget; the Dark Metaverse Launch Party is set to happen on the same day as the staking launch.

To transfer your UFO ERC20 or UNIV2 tokens to Polygon, go to the deposit page and choose the token you want to bridge.

Enter the sum and click the transfer button. Read the notes on the next page and then click the Continue button. Then, you’ll be prompted to accept the anticipated gas expenses and click “Continue.”

In-house bridging

After connecting your wallet, simply press “my wallet” and “bridge tokens to polygon.”

4. How to get Matic

You must have Matic tokens for gas fees to interact with the Polygon (Matic) network.

As Matic is exponentially cheaper than the Ethereum network, you’ll only need about 5 Matic ($4) to be able to sufficiently submit more than 20 transactions. One transaction costs as little as 0.04 Matic.

Polygon Network ⛽

The Staking dApp will operate on the Polygon Network. This means that you need to obtain or buy Matic and send it to your designated wallet with connected to the Polygon Mainnet.

MATIC token is the native token of Polygon. This is similar to Ether in Ethereum. To interact with Polygon, MATIC tokens are required to pay gas fees.

On the Polygon chain, the Matic tokens work as a native tokens. This means that a user can pay gas with MATIC and send MATIC to other accounts the same way they use ETH to pay gas fees on Ethereum and send ETH to others.

Getting the Matic token is really easy.

Step 1: Get MATIC Token:
On Ethereum, the Matic ERC20 token can be purchased from the following places

Decentralized Exchanges (DEX)

Direct Deposits/Withdrawals to Polygon
