Season 3 — Staking
Stake $ART for a fixed term and earn a fixed APR.
Season 3 is a staking season. You lock $ART for a fixed term and earn a fixed APR on it. There is no leaderboard, no score to chase and no competition for a shared pool: your reward depends only on how much you stake and for how long.
The pools
Three pools are open. Each has its own lock period and its own fixed APR.
| Pool | Lock period | Fixed APR |
|---|---|---|
| 3 Months | 3 months | 10% |
| 6 Months | 6 months | 20% |
| 12 Months | 12 months | 35% |
The longer the lock, the higher the rate. You can hold stakes in more than one pool at the same time.
How it works
- Connect your wallet on the Season 3 staking page.
- Choose a pool and enter the amount of $ART you want to stake.
- Confirm the transaction. Your $ART is locked for the full lock period.
- Rewards accrue daily for as long as the stake is locked.
- When the lock period ends, claim your $ART together with the rewards it earned.
How rewards are calculated
Rewards are simple interest on the amount you stake, prorated over the lock period. They do not compound.
Reward = Amount × APR × (Lock period in months / 12)
For example, 10,000 $ART staked in the 6-month pool at 20% APR:
10,000 × 0.20 × (6 / 12) = 1,000 $ART
Total at unlock: 11,000 $ART
The staking form shows both figures — estimated rewards and total at unlock — before you confirm.
Pool limits
Each pool accepts a limited amount of $ART. The staking page shows how much of a pool is still available and how much has already been staked in it. Once a pool is full, no further stakes can be made into it until capacity frees up.
Locking
Staked $ART stays locked for the whole lock period you chose. It cannot be withdrawn early, and the lock period cannot be changed after the stake is made. Rewards become claimable only at unlock, not before.
Staking is not a deposit and not a savings product. The APR is a fixed protocol reward on staked $ART, paid in $ART.
Earlier seasons
Season 3 does not replace what came before, and it does not change anything you earned earlier.
- Season 2 — Rewards has ended. Your Season 2 stakes, their staking power and their final score are still on the Season 2 page, where you can also unstake them and withdraw your $ART.
- Season 1 — Airdrop has ended. Your allocation is still claimable on the Season 1 page.
