📊3.1.1 Staking Module
Staking PENQ on Binance Smart Chain provides an easy way to earn additional yield while reinforcing the project’s trust and growth.
Key Benefits
Attractive Yield Earn competitive passive income by leveraging PenguinQuest deflationary fee structure.
Flexibility Multiple lock-up options let you tailor your strategy to your liquidity and return goals.
Security Audited smart contracts ensure the safety of your staked funds.

Ecosystem Impact
By staking, you directly support PenguinQuest stability and expansion. Locked tokens strengthen the project’s financial foundation, build community confidence, and enable continuous development of new features and marketplaces.
Staking Participation 🚀
To join staking, you need at least 10 000 PENQ in your presale balance, only purchased tokens are counted; PENQ earned through referrals are not included. With this, you’ll unlock access to our three staking pools, where you’ll earn interest in exchange for locking up your tokens for a chosen period.

How it works 🔒
Select a pool – Pick one (or all three!) of our 4-, 8-, or 12-month pools.
Deposit your PENQ – Enter the amount you wish to stake.
Authorize the transaction – You’ll sign twice on-chain to approve and then deposit.
Watch it grow – Instantly see your total locked tokens and which pool they’re in.
Earnings 📈
Monthly interest is calculated according to each pool’s rate.
APY shows your projected annual return (monthly rate × 12).
Reward rates in each pool are dynamic: the fewer people stake, the higher the interest; as more participants join, the rate may decrease.

The process is intuitive and user-friendly—stake your PENQ in just a few clicks and start earning! 🐧✨

Attention: you cannot withdraw either your earnings or your staked tokens until the lock-up period has ended.
