HONOR Staking (nsHONOR)
The HONOR Staking system allows players to lock their HONOR tokens and receive nsHONOR (Neverland Staked HONOR) in return. Staking HONOR provides multiple benefits: earning rewards from the Community Treasury and gaining voting power in governance decisions.
🔒 How Staking Works
Locking HONOR
- Lock Your HONOR: Choose an amount of HONOR to lock and a lock duration
- Receive nsHONOR: You receive nsHONOR tokens proportional to:
- The amount of HONOR locked
- The lock duration (longer locks = more nsHONOR)
- Earn Rewards: Your nsHONOR entitles you to a share of rewards from the Community Treasury
- Unlock: After the lock period expires, you can unlock your HONOR (nsHONOR is burned)
nsHONOR (Neverland Staked HONOR)
nsHONOR is the staking receipt token you receive when you lock HONOR:
- Non-transferable: nsHONOR cannot be transferred or traded
- Proportional to Lock: Amount of nsHONOR depends on lock amount and duration
- Reward Entitlement: Determines your share of treasury rewards
- Voting Power: Used for governance voting (longer locks = higher voting power)
💰 Reward Distribution
How Rewards Work
The Community Treasury distributes HONOR rewards to all nsHONOR holders based on:
- Your Locked Amount: More HONOR locked = larger reward share
- Lock Duration: Longer lock periods receive higher reward multipliers
- Total Locked Supply: Your share is proportional to total HONOR locked by all stakers
Reward Calculation
Your Reward Share = (Your nsHONOR / Total nsHONOR) × Treasury Reward Pool
Longer lock durations grant higher multipliers, meaning:
- Short lock (e.g., 1 month): Base multiplier
- Medium lock (e.g., 6 months): Higher multiplier
- Long lock (e.g., 12+ months): Maximum multiplier
🎯 Benefits of Staking
1. Passive Income
- Earn HONOR rewards from the Community Treasury
- Rewards distributed regularly based on treasury balance
- No active gameplay required
2. Governance Participation
- nsHONOR holders can vote on treasury proposals
- Longer locks grant higher voting power
- Influence the game's economic direction
3. Long-Term Commitment Rewards
- The system rewards long-term committed players
- Longer lock periods = higher rewards and voting power
- Aligns incentives with project sustainability
⚠️ Important Considerations
Lock Period
- Fixed Duration: Once you lock HONOR, you must wait until the lock period expires
- No Early Unlock: HONOR cannot be unlocked before the lock period ends
- Plan Accordingly: Choose lock duration based on your commitment level
Risk Factors
- Treasury Balance: Rewards depend on treasury having sufficient funds
- Lock Commitment: Your HONOR is locked and unavailable during the lock period
- Market Conditions: HONOR value may fluctuate during lock period
🔄 Unlocking Process
When your lock period expires:
- Unlock Request: Initiate unlock transaction
- nsHONOR Burned: Your nsHONOR tokens are permanently burned
- HONOR Returned: Your original HONOR amount is returned to your wallet
- Final Rewards: Any remaining rewards can be claimed
Strategy
Consider longer lock periods if you're committed to the project long-term. Longer locks provide:
- Higher reward multipliers
- Greater voting power in governance
- Stronger alignment with project success
📊 Staking vs. Playing
| Aspect | Staking | Playing in Valley |
|---|---|---|
| Requirement | Lock HONOR | Deploy heroes to Valley |
| Reward Source | Community Treasury | Valley rewards (minted) |
| Risk | Lock period commitment | Hero deployment risk |
| Active/Passive | Passive income | Active gameplay |
| Governance | Voting power | No voting power |
| Flexibility | Fixed lock period | Can exit anytime |
Both systems complement each other:
- Staking: For long-term holders who want passive income and governance rights
- Valley: For active players who want to earn through gameplay
