The 30-day staking cycle

How a cycle works

Each StakerX stake runs for 30 days. You choose an amount of at least $10, open the stake, and receive daily yield while the stake is active. The principal remains committed for the 30-day cycle.

Daily yield during the cycle

Daily yield is separate from the original principal. Where it goes depends on one per-stake setting, auto-compound. With auto-compound off, the yield becomes available balance as it is posted, so you can withdraw it, leave it in the account, or use it to open another stake. With auto-compound on, it is added to the stake instead.

Each active stake credits its daily yield on its own 24-hour cycle, timed from the moment it activated, rather than at a fixed clock time. That is separate from StakerGPT's daily results, which publish at 00:15 UTC.

Auto-compound

Auto-compound adds each day's yield to the stake itself rather than to your available balance, so the following day earns on a slightly larger amount. The daily performance fee is unchanged: it is taken from the gross yield first, and only what is left is added to the stake.

Stakes you open in the stake window have auto-compound switched on, shown as a checked option you can untick before you confirm. Stakes you opened earlier are unaffected and stay off until you turn them on, and a stake that auto-renews keeps whatever setting its parent had. You can switch it on or off at any time from the stake, and each stake carries its own setting.

Compounding is where the extra growth comes from. Each day's net yield joins the stake, so the next day earns on a slightly larger amount, and that effect builds on itself for the rest of the term. At the same daily rate, a stake left compounding for a full 30 days finishes ahead of the same stake paying its yield out each day, and the longer you keep renewing, the more that gap widens.

Switching it on applies from that moment forward. Yield that was already due before you turned it on goes to your available balance as usual, and turning it off and on again does not go back and add earlier days.

At maturity

At the end of the 30-day term, the principal unlocks along with any daily yield from that stake you have not already withdrawn. If the stake was compounding, the amount that unlocks is the original principal plus everything that compounded into it. You can withdraw available funds, manually re-stake, or use auto re-stake to keep participating in another 30-day cycle.

Manual re-stake and auto re-stake

Re-staking lets you continue the staking cycle without starting from a new external deposit. At maturity your principal unlocks with any unwithdrawn daily yield from that stake, and you can open another stake from available funds.

Auto re-stake suits funds you want to continue into another 30-day cycle automatically. Manual re-stake suits choosing the exact amount or timing yourself.

Auto re-stake and auto-compound work together. Auto-compound grows a stake day by day; auto re-stake carries the grown amount into the next 30-day cycle and keeps the auto-compound setting with it.
