Staking Points System
The Staking Points system rewards users for contributing to the Polynomial Chain ecosystem. The more you participate by staking your assets, the more points you'll earn.
How It Works
Earning Points
You automatically earn Staking Points every second based on:
Amount staked (bigger stake = more points)
Duration of stake (longer stake = more points)
Early participation (higher boost for early believers)
Points Formula
Points = Score × Boost
Score System
The score is the core of the Staking Points system. It increases by the amount of deposited collateral every hour.
Example: If Alice stakes 1000 USDC into Polynomial, she will earn 1 score per hour.
Boost System
Boost is a multiplier that increases your Staking Points, serving as a bonus for staking over longer periods.
Early Staker Boost
Duration: 14-day Liquidity Generation Window
Range: 1.5x on day 1, decreasing to 1x by day 14
Benefit: The earlier you deposit, the higher the boost
Season Boost
Activation: After the 14-day ILE period ends
Duration: Increases linearly over 1 month
Starting: 0.5x boost
Maximum: 2x total boost (combined with Early Staker Boost)
Maximum Boost Cap
The maximum boost is capped at 2x. When you unstake, your boost decreases proportionally to the amount unstaked (not withdrawn), but you keep accumulated scores.
Example Calculation
Alice deposits 1000 USDC within the first few minutes of the deposit window:
Early Staker Boost: 1.5x
After 1 month: Season Boost reaches 2x total
Final Points:
score × 2 (boost)
Withdrawal Impact
Withdrawing from the Polynomial Pool during the 14-day ILE period will:
Decrease your boost proportionally to the amount unstaked
Preserve accumulated scores
Forfeit future boost benefits for the withdrawn amount
Fair Reward System
The Staking Points program is designed to be fair and rewarding:
Reward valuable contributions: Users who help the network grow organically are rewarded most
Balance contribution size: Both large and small stakers are rewarded appropriately
Encourage long-term commitment: Longer staking periods earn more rewards
Adaptable incentives: The program can adjust rewards during crucial network growth phases
Advanced Features
Restaking During Unstaking Window
You can stake back into the pool at any time, even during the 24-hour unstaking window. This allows you to:
Maintain your boost multiplier
Continue earning points
Avoid losing accumulated benefits
Mission Integration
Staking points work in conjunction with the Missions System:
Complete staking missions for bonus points
Earn additional rewards through social missions
Maximize your total point accumulation
Referral Benefits
When you refer others to stake:
Earn 10% of their staking points
Earn 5% of their referrals' points
Build a sustainable point-earning network
