HONOR Staking

⚠️ Staking is extremely important! The HONOR Staking system allows players to lock their HONOR tokens to earn staking power tiers, which provide crucial benefits for your gameplay. The more you stake and the longer you lock, the higher your staking power tier and the greater your benefits!

🎯 Current Benefits

Currently Available:

• Death Rate Reduction: Reduce or eliminate death risk for heroes fighting in CursedValley

Coming Soon:

• Titan Bones Boost: Boost bones rewards in Titan combat (based on staking power tier)

🔒 How Staking Works

Locking HONOR

1. Choose Amount & Duration: Select how much HONOR to stake and a lock period (1 to 30 days - any value)
2. Earn Staking Points: Points = (Amount in HONOR) × Lock Period Days
   • Example: 10,000 HONOR × 30 days = 300,000 points
3. Achieve Power Tiers: Your total points determine your staking power tier (0-5)
4. Reduce Death Rate: Higher tiers = greater death rate reduction in CursedValley
5. Unlock Options:
   • Normal Unlock: After the lock period expires, unlock without penalty
   • Early Unlock: Unlock before expiration with penalty (3% per day remaining, max 90%)

Staking Power Tiers

Your staking power tier is calculated from your total staking points across all active positions:

Tier	Points Required	Death Rate Reduction
Tier 0	0 - 599,999	0% (no reduction)
Tier 1	600,000 - 1,199,999	20% reduction
Tier 2	1,200,000 - 1,799,999	40% reduction
Tier 3	1,800,000 - 2,399,999	60% reduction
Tier 4	2,400,000 - 2,999,999	80% reduction
Tier 5	3,000,000+	100% reduction (no death!)

💡 Example: To reach Tier 5 (maximum), you need 3,000,000 points. This equals:

• 100,000 HONOR locked for 30 days, OR
• 200,000 HONOR locked for 15 days (but max lock is 30 days), OR
• Multiple positions that sum to 3M+ points

Lock Period Options

You can choose any lock period from 1 to 30 days:

• Flexible Duration: Select any number of days between 1 and 30
• More Points = Longer Lock: Points = Amount × Days, so longer locks = more points
• 30 Days Maximum: 30 days is the maximum lock period (most efficient for points)
• Examples:
  • 1 day: Quick commitment
  • 7 days: Short-term
  • 14 days: Medium-term
  • 30 days: Maximum commitment (best for reaching higher tiers)
  • Or any value in between (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 days)

Multiple Positions

You can create multiple staking positions with different amounts and lock periods. Your total staking power tier is calculated from the sum of all your active positions' points.

Example:

• Position 1: 50,000 HONOR × 30 days = 1,500,000 points
• Position 2: 30,000 HONOR × 30 days = 900,000 points
• Total: 2,400,000 points = Tier 4 (80% death rate reduction)

💀 Death Rate Reduction (Current Feature)

⚠️ This is the primary benefit of staking right now! Staking power tiers directly reduce death rates for your heroes in CursedValley.

How It Works

When your heroes fight in the CursedValley, your staking power tier reduces their death rate. The reduction is calculated as a percentage of the base death rate, not a direct subtraction:

• Tier 0: No reduction (base death rate applies)
• Tier 1: 20% reduction (reduces base rate by 20%)
• Tier 2: 40% reduction (reduces base rate by 40%)
• Tier 3: 60% reduction (reduces base rate by 60%)
• Tier 4: 80% reduction (reduces base rate by 80%)
• Tier 5: 100% reduction (0% death rate - heroes cannot die!)

Calculation Formula

Final Death Rate = Base Death Rate - (Base Death Rate × Reduction %)

Calculation Example

If a Common hero (Tier 1, Level 1-9) has a base death rate of 80%:

• Tier 0: 80% death rate (no reduction)
• Tier 1: 80% - (80% × 20%) = 80% - 16% = 64% death rate
• Tier 2: 80% - (80% × 40%) = 80% - 32% = 48% death rate
• Tier 3: 80% - (80% × 60%) = 80% - 48% = 32% death rate
• Tier 4: 80% - (80% × 80%) = 80% - 64% = 16% death rate
• Tier 5: 80% - (80% × 100%) = 80% - 80% = 0% death rate (immune to death!)

Important: The reduction applies to all rarities equally - Tier 5 makes any hero completely immune to death!

🎯 Benefits of Staking

1. Protect Your Heroes (Current)

• Death Rate Reduction: Reduce or eliminate death risk in CursedValley
• Higher tiers = safer heroes = more HONOR earned
• Tier 5 = complete immunity to death!
• This is the main benefit available right now!

2. Titan Bones Boost (Coming Soon)

• Staking power tiers will boost bones rewards in Titan combat
• Higher tiers = more bones earned from Titan battles
• Additional incentive to stake and maintain high tiers

3. Multiple Positions Strategy

• Create multiple positions with different lock periods
• Unlock positions individually as they expire
• Maintain staking power while unlocking some HONOR

4. Long-Term Commitment Rewards

• Longer lock periods = more points per HONOR
• 30-day locks are most efficient for reaching higher tiers
• Aligns incentives with project sustainability

⚠️ Important Considerations

Lock Period

• Flexible Duration: Choose any lock period from 1 to 30 days
• Fixed Once Staked: Once you stake, the lock period is fixed for that position
• Early Unlock Available: You can unlock early with a penalty (see Early Unlock section)
• Plan Accordingly: Choose lock duration based on your commitment level and goals

Minimum Requirements

• Minimum Stake: 1,000 HONOR per position
• Multiple Positions: You can create multiple positions to reach higher tiers

Risk Factors

• Lock Commitment: Your HONOR is locked and unavailable during the lock period
• Market Conditions: HONOR value may fluctuate during lock period
• Death Rate: Staking reduces but doesn't eliminate risk (unless Tier 5)

🔄 Unlocking Process

Normal Unlock (After Lock Period Expires)

When your lock period expires:

1. Select Position: Choose which position to unlock (by position index)
2. Unlock Transaction: Call unstake(positionIndex)
3. HONOR Returned: Your original HONOR amount is returned to your wallet (no penalty)
4. Position Deactivated: Position is marked inactive (points no longer count)
5. Tier Recalculated: Your staking power tier updates based on remaining active positions

Note: You can unlock positions individually - other positions remain active and continue contributing to your tier.

Early Unlock (Before Lock Period Expires)

If you need to unlock before the lock period expires:

1. Select Position: Choose which position to unlock early
2. Calculate Penalty: Penalty = 3% per day remaining, capped at 90% maximum
3. Early Unlock Transaction: Call unstakeEarly(positionIndex)
4. Penalty Applied: Penalty amount is burned, you receive the remaining HONOR
5. Position Deactivated: Position is marked inactive (points no longer count)
6. Tier Recalculated: Your staking power tier updates

Early Unlock Penalty Formula

Base Penalty Rate = Lock Period Days × 3% (capped at 90%)
Actual Penalty = Base Penalty Rate × (Remaining Time / Total Lock Time)
Penalty Amount = Staked Amount × Actual Penalty
Received Amount = Staked Amount - Penalty Amount

Early Unlock Examples

• 30 days, unlock immediately: 90% × 100% = 90% penalty (capped)
• 30 days, unlock after 15 days: 90% × 50% = 45% penalty
• 7 days, unlock immediately: 21% × 100% = 21% penalty
• 1 day, unlock immediately: 3% × 100% = 3% penalty

⚠️ Warning: Early unlock penalties can be significant, especially for longer lock periods. Only use early unlock if absolutely necessary!

🎯 Staking Strategy Tips

Reaching Higher Tiers

• Tier 1 (600k points): 50,000 HONOR × 12 days, or 20,000 HONOR × 30 days
• Tier 2 (1.2M points): 100,000 HONOR × 12 days, or 40,000 HONOR × 30 days
• Tier 3 (1.8M points): 150,000 HONOR × 12 days, or 60,000 HONOR × 30 days
• Tier 4 (2.4M points): 200,000 HONOR × 12 days, or 80,000 HONOR × 30 days
• Tier 5 (3M points): 100,000 HONOR × 30 days (minimum for Tier 5)

Pro Tips

• 30-Day Locks: Most efficient for points (30x multiplier per HONOR)
• Flexible Lock Periods: Choose lock periods that match your needs (1-30 days)
