Time-Weighted Influence & Rewards
A key feature of Giza's staking program is its time-weighted mechanism, which rewards long-term stakers with additional benefits:
- Reward Multiplier: Longer staking durations result in a proportionally higher earning rate.
- Governance Boost: Long-term stakers also receive enhanced voting power in governance decisions.
Withdrawing any portion of staked tokens resets the time-weighted boost associated with that stake. This mechanism is designed to encourage consistent, long-term participation in the ecosystem.
Boost Schedule Breakdown
| Staking Duration | Boost Percentage | Multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| After 1 week | 25% | x1.25 |
| After 1 month | 37% | x1.37 |
| After 3 months | 82% | x1.82 |
| After 6 months | 175% | x2.75 |
| After 12 months | 360% | x4.6 |
| After 24 months | 400% | x5 |
Unstaking Fee
To promote long-term staking and discourage frequent entering and exiting, Giza implements a temporary withdrawal fee mechanism:
- No fee is charged after a stake has been held for at least 1 month. Tokens can be withdrawn completely fee-free once this threshold is met.
- If tokens are withdrawn before the 1-month mark, a 5% fee is applied, which decays linearly to 0% over the course of 30 days.
Both time-weighted boosts and unstaking fees are calculated at the individual deposit level. For example, if Alice makes two separate deposits six months apart, the boost and withdrawal fee will be calculated independently for each deposit.
