Staking Rewards

PreviousHow It WorksNextRestake

Last updated 6 months ago

The goTAO staking mechanism offers competitive rewards for both ETH and $GAO stakers, encouraging user participation and long-term engagement. The reward system is structured as follows:

1. Reward Structure

  • ETH Staking: Users who stake ETH receive stETH as a liquid staking derivative. The staking rewards for ETH are driven by the ETH/stETH ratio, which increases as the . A portion of transaction fees is added to the pool, further enhancing the value of stETH over time.

  • $GAO Staking: $GAO stakers receive stGAO as their staking derivative. The reward structure for GAO is designed to heavily incentivize participation, with of the total rewards pool (60,000,000 $GAO over four months) allocated to $GAO stakers. This reward model encourages long-term staking and higher Total Value Locked (TVL) within the ecosystem.

2. Compounding rewards

In addition to rewards from staking ETH or $GAO, users can compound their earnings through the restaking feature. By restaking their stETH, users earn additional rewards in the restaking pools without needing to withdraw from the original pools. This multi-layered reward system significantly boosts potential returns and promotes long-term staking behavior.

3. Bonus Rewards

Both ETH and $GAO stakers are eligible for airdropped tokens from new projects launching within the goTAO ecosystem. These airdrops provide extra incentives for stakers, adding further value to their staking experience.
