# PIMS Staking

### <mark style="color:yellow;">Earn More PIMS with Flexible Staking, Powerful Bonuses, and Fair Penalties</mark>

The world of decentralized finance (DeFi) often revolves around one question: How can I earn more by holding my tokens? Our new PIMS staking pool answers that question with style, offering a range of staking options, flexible lock-in periods, special promotional APRs, and advanced booster features. If you’re eager to put your PIMS to work and watch your balance grow, read on!

#### <mark style="color:blue;">Key Highlights</mark>

* Stake PIMS to earn more PIMS: Simply deposit your PIMS tokens and let them work for you.
* Multiple lock periods with tiered APRs: Choose between no lock-up or lock periods of 30, 90, 180, or 365 days. The longer the lock, the higher your base APR.
* Promotional 3x APR in the first 30 days: Early participants are rewarded with an exclusive premium staking period, enjoying triple the standard APR to maximize the earnings right from the start.
* Boost your APR by also staking KMON: Enhance your reward multiplier up to a 2x by staking KMON tokens alongside PIMS.
* Create multiple stakes: Diversify by splitting your tokens into different lock periods to balance liquidity needs and maximize returns.
* Fair penalty system for early withdrawals: If you need to withdraw before your chosen lock period ends, a smooth, predictable penalty curve ensures fairness.

Let’s break down each feature step by step.

#### <mark style="color:orange;">Multiple Tranches, Multiple Options</mark>

We offer five staking "tranches," each with a unique lock period and a corresponding base APR:

* No Lock: 0 days, Base APR \~2%
* 30 Days Lock: Base APR \~10%
* 90 Days Lock: Base APR \~18%
* 180 Days Lock: Base APR \~35%
* 365 Days Lock: Base APR \~70%

<mark style="color:orange;">How it works:</mark>

* Choose your desired tranche based on how long you’re willing to lock up your PIMS for.
* Longer lock-ups yield higher APRs, rewarding your commitment with bigger returns.

<mark style="color:orange;">Example:</mark>

* Staking 1,000 PIMS for 365 days at 70% APR (annualized) would earn significantly more over a year than staking with no lock, but you sacrifice short-term liquidity for those higher returns.

***

#### <mark style="color:orange;">Super Premium Period: 3x APR for Early Birds</mark>

For the first 30 days after staking is activated, all APRs get a 3x boost. This is a limited-time promotion to reward our early supporters. Whether you choose the no-lock tranche or go all-in for 365 days, your APR during the promotional window is tripled.

<mark style="color:orange;">Math Made Simple:</mark>\
If you chose to stake for 30 days (10% APR), during the Super Premium period the APR for those 30 days will be 30% (10%\*3).

<mark style="color:orange;">Timing is Key:</mark>

* The super premium multiplier applies if your stake starts before the promotion ends.
* Even if your lock period extends beyond the promotion, the boosted rate only applies to the initial 30 days.

***

#### <mark style="color:yellow;">Boost Your Rewards with KMON</mark>

In addition to staking PIMS, you can also stake KMON tokens to increase your reward multiplier. The more KMON you stake relative to the total amount of KMON staked in the pool, the closer your personal multiplier can get to 2x.

<mark style="color:orange;">How the Boost Works:</mark>

* By default, your multiplier starts at 1x (no boost).
* As you stake KMON, you receive a share of the total KMON “boost pool.”
* Your boost multiplier = 1 + (Your KMON Share), capped at a maximum of 2x.

For example, if you make up 50% of all KMON staked, your boost multiplier would be 1 + 0.5 = 1.5x your normal reward. If you could stake enough to reach the cap, you'd double your effective APR to 2x.

***

#### <mark style="color:orange;">Flexible Staking Strategies</mark>

You’re not restricted to a single stake. Open multiple stakes across different tranches to create a personalized portfolio. For instance:

* Stake some PIMS with no lock to maintain liquidity.
* Lock a portion for 90 days to enjoy a medium-term boost in APR.
* Lock another portion for 365 days to secure the highest APR for the long haul.

This flexibility helps you manage both your short-term needs and long-term growth potential.

***

#### <mark style="color:orange;">Understanding the Rewards Calculation</mark>

Your reward is based on four key factors:

1. Principal: The amount of PIMS you stake.
2. Time Staked: How long you keep your tokens staked, up to the lock period you selected.
3. APR (Annual Percentage Rate): Based on your chosen lock-up time frame, plus any super premium boost.
4. Boost Multiplier: Determined by how much KMON you stake in relation to others, capping at 2x.

<mark style="color:orange;">**Basic Formula:**</mark>

Base Reward = (Principal \* APR \* Time Staked) / (365 days \* 100)

Final Reward = Base Reward \* Boost Multiplier

<br>

<mark style="color:blue;">Example:</mark>

* You stake 1,000 PIMS in a 180-day tranche (35% APR) and it’s during the super premium period (3x). For the first 30 days, your APR is effectively 105% (35% \* 3).

If you only consider the first 30 days, approximate earnings would be:

```applescript
Base Reward (30 days) = (1,000 PIMS * 105% * 30 days) / (365 * 100) 
                      ≈ (1,000 * 105 * 30) / 36,500 
                      ≈ 86.30 PIMS
```

<mark style="color:orange;">Now if you had a boost multiplier of 1.5x from staking KMON, you’d earn:</mark>\
\
Final Reward = 86.30 PIMS \* 1.5 ≈ 129.45 PIMS

This is a simplified snapshot. Over the full duration, actual earnings would scale with time and revert back to the normal APR after the first 30 days.

***

#### <mark style="color:yellow;">Early Withdrawal Penalties: A Fair Sigmoid Curve</mark>

We understand that sometimes life happens—you may need to withdraw before your lock period is over. That’s why we use a smooth sigmoid curve to determine the penalty on your unvested rewards (not your principal).

<mark style="color:orange;">**How the Penalty Works:**</mark>

* If you stake for 180 days and withdraw at day 90, you haven’t fulfilled the lock period.
* The penalty only applies to your earned rewards, not your original staked amount.
* The penalty follows a logistic (S-shaped) curve, starting high if you withdraw extremely early, and gradually decreasing as you approach the end of the lock period.

<mark style="color:orange;">Simple Math for Penalties:</mark>\
At early withdrawal, we calculate a penalty percentage P(t) of your reward based on how far along you are in the lock period. This percentage ranges smoothly from near 100% at the very start (if you withdraw right away) down to close to 0% when you’re near maturity.

A simplified formula for the penalty percentage is something like:

<mark style="color:green;">**`P(t) = 100 / (1 + e^( (timePassedScaled - 5) ))`**</mark>

<br>

Where timePassedScaled maps your current staking time onto a scale. Without getting too technical, just know this curve ensures fairness: the longer you keep your stake, the smaller the penalty becomes.

* At 0% of the lock period (immediate withdrawal), penalty ≈ 100%.
* At 25% of the lock period, the penalty might be around 92.3%.
* At 50% of the lock period, the penalty might be around 50%.
* At 75% of the lock period, the penalty might be around 7.6%.
* Nearing 100% of the lock period, the penalty drops close to 0%.

<figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeQ1ndDswP2NXSgHJOlXrtEVjbSzOuAWiDvhfZw8SoDeda1i3nqwyzX6Se1h7fUfadMsQdjC_uvDX7OMYguAiT2MLTCKINcFR4NhfI2YoyL6HwmlsIn0m77t0RX1yiaubEm0weP1g?key=x0kLdCuuBmGXJN3pkJ3WsmeM" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This ensures fairness and encourages commitment but doesn’t trap you if you really need your tokens back.

#### <mark style="color:yellow;">Deposits, Withdrawals, and Security</mark>

* Depositing Rewards: The pool’s reward tokens are deposited upfront by the contract owner (Pink Moon Studio), ensuring transparency and a cap on the maximum total rewards.
* Withdrawing Your Principal and Rewards: Once your chosen lock period ends (or even before, if you accept the penalty on the rewards), you can easily withdraw your staked principal plus accrued rewards.
* Boost Tokens in, Boost Tokens out: Start or stop boosting whenever you like. Your KMON tokens are always safely held in the contract and can be withdrawn at any time.
