What is KNG staking?

The Staking mechanism enables KNG token holders to share in the profits from transaction fees charged on the Kanga Exchange platform. Every holder can deposit KNG tokens to a dedicated Staking Pool account and receive rewards in proportion to the staked amount.

The Staking rewards are calculated and distributed daily at 12:00 AM (midnight) UTC. Rewards are deposited directly to user wallets.

  • Deposited tokens remain locked until the beginning of the next staking period (i.e. until midnight UTC).
  • Withdrawn tokens remain locked until the end of the next full staking period (i.e. until midnight UTC + 1 day).
  • Locked tokens do not participate in rewards calculation.
  • In order to count towards reward calculation for any given staking period, tokens must remain in the staking account for the duration of that entire period (midnight to midnight UTC).

EXAMPLE

Tokens were deposited to the staking account on Monday at 10:00 AM UTC. They will be unlocked at 12:00 AM (midnight) UTC on Tuesday—i.e. after 14 hours.

Tokens were withdrawn from the staking account on Friday at 10:45 PM UTC. They will appear in your wallet at 12:00 AM (midnight) UTC on Sunday—i.e. after 25 hours and 15 minutes.

Rewards will be paid for three staking periods: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
