How to start staking?

How to stake your KYOKO tokens

Step 1 — Enter the staking portal

The first thing you need to do is enter the staking portal. This can be done by going to kyoko.vault.inc to connect wallet where you will be greeted with the ‘Overview’ page that shows some basic information and statistics about the staking portal.

Please ensure that you only follow the official links in this article.

Step 2 — Pick your preferred staking pool

After you have connected your wallet, you’re ready to start staking. The next step is to pick the staking pool of your choice. In the main overview, click the large ‘Stake’ button, which will open up the screen below. This will show you the available staking pools.

*Since 80% of the entire staking rewards will go to those providing liquidity, it’s important to understand providing liquidity on Uniswap V2 — Please scroll down for a small tutorial.

Please understand that providing liquidity on Uniswap V2 is required to stake. Those providing liquidity on Uniswap V3 will not receive rewards.

Prior to staking your tokens, you might want to find out more about each specific pool. To do so, press the ‘Stake’ button in white to head to the next screen.

Step 3 — Pick your settings

You should now choose the settings that work for you. As mentioned above, you have the ability to choose between flexible and locked staking. Locked staking can increase your rewards over time depending on the duration of your lock.

Step 4 — Approve

After you have chosen your preferred settings, press ‘Approve’ as shown below.

A MetaMask prompt (or WalletConnect) will then appear and you’ll have to confirm the transaction. Please review the transaction and the gas fees before confirming your transaction.

After you have confirmed your transaction, please wait patiently as the Ethereum blockchain has to confirm the transaction at the other end.

Step 5 — Staking

After you have approved the contract to spend your KYOKO tokens, you have to make the second transaction to stake your tokens. Instead of ‘Approve’, you will now see ‘Stake’.

Once you press stake, A MetaMask prompt (or WalletConnect) will appear and you’ll have to confirm the transaction. Please review the transaction and the gas fees before confirming your transaction.

Step 6 — Congratulations!

That’s all there is to it. Once the transaction is confirmed on the Ethereum blockchain, your tokens are then officially staked and you start collecting rewards straight away!
