# Staking & Yield

Staking turns **daily casino wagering** into **daily staker rewards**. There is no fixed APR. Your yield moves with real platform activity.

Staking rewards accrue as **JPF** (in-game credits).\
For readability, we show the **JPT-equivalent** amount.\
Inside the casino, **1 JPF = \~1 JPT value**.

## The 5 inputs that control your daily income

* **Daily wagers ($):** the casino’s wager volume that day.
* **Your stake (JPT):** how much you staked.
* **Total staked (JPT):** the size of the whole staking pool.
* **Lock multiplier:** boost from your chosen lock.
* **JPT price ($/JPT):** only used to show “JPT-equivalent”.

{% hint style="info" %}
Mental model: rewards scale **linearly** with wagers, stake size, and multiplier.\
Rewards scale **inversely** with total staked and JPT price.
{% endhint %}

## How daily rewards are calculated (step-by-step)

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Compute the daily reward pool

Each day, a fixed share of wagers goes to stakers:

$$
\text{Daily Reward Pool}($) = \text{Daily Wagers}($) \times 0.5%
$$
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Take your share of the pool

Your base share is proportional to your stake:

$$
\text{Your Share} = \frac{\text{Your Staked JPT}}{\text{Total Staked JPT}}
$$

$$
\text{Your Daily Reward}($) = \text{Daily Reward Pool}($) \times \text{Your Share}
$$
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Apply the lock multiplier

Locks boost your reward share:

$$
\text{Your Daily Reward}($, \text{lock}) = \text{Your Daily Reward}($) \times \text{Lock Multiplier}
$$
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Convert to “JPT-equivalent”

$$
\text{Your Daily Reward (JPT)} =
\frac{\text{Your Daily Reward}($, \text{locked})}{\text{JPT Price}}
$$
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Annualize to APR (from the daily number)

$$
\text{APR}(%) =
\left(\frac{\text{Your Daily Reward (JPT)} \times 365}{\text{Your Staked JPT}}\right)\times 100
$$
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Example

Assumptions:

* Daily wagers: **$1,000,000**
* JPT price: **$0.04**
* Your stake: **1,000,000 JPT**
* Total staked: **200,000,000 JPT** (you have **0.5% share**)
* Lock: **365 days** (**2.0×**)

{% hint style="success" %}
Correct Calculation:

* Daily pool ($): $1,000,000 × 0.5% = **$5,000**
* Your base reward ($): $5,000 × 0.5% = **$25**
* With lock ($): $25 × 2.0 = **$50**
* JPT-equivalent: $50 ÷ $0.04 = **1,250 JPT/day**
* APR: (1,250 × 365 ÷ 1,000,000) × 100 = **45.63%**
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Examples are illustrative. Real returns vary daily with wagers and total staked.
{% endhint %}

## Explore how each parameter changes daily income

All scenarios below use the same baseline unless stated otherwise:

* Your stake: **1,000,000 JPT**
* Total staked: **200,000,000 JPT** (0.5% share)
* Lock: **365 days (2.0×)**
* JPT price: **$0.04**

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Daily wagers" %}
Assume your stake is 1M JPT, you have 0.5% share from 200M staked in total, and 2x lock.

Daily wagers is the main growth lever.

| Daily wagers | Pool ($) | Your daily ($) | JPT‑eq / day |     APR |
| -----------: | -------: | -------------: | -----------: | ------: |
|          $1M |   $5,000 |            $50 |        1,250 |  45.63% |
|          $2M |  $10,000 |           $100 |        2,500 |  91.25% |
|          $5M |  $25,000 |           $250 |        6,250 | 228.13% |
| {% endtab %} |          |                |              |         |

{% tab title="Total staked" %}
Total staked is the “competition” term. If total staked doubles, your income halves.

Assume **$1M/day** wagers and your stake stays **1M JPT**:

| Total staked | Your share | Your daily ($) | JPT‑eq / day |     APR |
| -----------: | ---------: | -------------: | -----------: | ------: |
|         200M |       0.5% |            $50 |        1,250 |  45.63% |
|         100M |       1.0% |           $100 |        2,500 |  91.25% |
|          50M |         2% |           $200 |        5,000 | 182.50% |
| {% endtab %} |            |                |              |         |

{% tab title="Lock multiplier" %}
Locks multiply your reward share. No lock means no boost.

Assume the **no-lock baseline** is **625 JPT/day**. Here’s how it changes with different multipliers:

| Lock duration | Multiplier | JPT‑eq / day |    APR |
| ------------- | ---------: | -----------: | -----: |
| None          |       1.0× |          625 | 22.81% |
| 30 days       |       1.3× |        812.5 | 29.66% |
| 90 days       |       1.5× |        937.5 | 34.22% |
| 180 days      |       1.7× |      1,062.5 | 38.78% |
| 365 days      |       2.0× |        1,250 | 45.63% |
| {% endtab %}  |            |              |        |
| {% endtabs %} |            |              |        |

## What happens if you unstake before the lock ends

You can exit before your lock expires. That’s treated as breaking the lock.

Rules:

* A **2% penalty** is applied to the amount you unstake early.
* The penalty is **burned**.
* Your position stops earning from the moment you unstake.
* Rewards already credited to you are not clawed back.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you staked **vesting-locked** tokens, unstaking does not unlock them.\
It only removes them from staking.
{% endhint %}

## Staker benefits (summary)

* **Daily, wager-driven yield:** scales with real casino activity.
* **Flexible staking:** add to your position anytime.
* **Stake locked + unlocked JPT:** earn while vesting.
* **Lock boosts:** up to **2.0×** at 365 days.
* **Early exit:** break a lock with a **2% penalty**.
* **Stake-to-vote:** staking is required for governance power.
* **Compounding:** claim and restake to grow your position.
* **Presale staking bonus (250M JPT / 25%)**: extra **JPT** pool, with a **3-month cliff** and then **27,777,777.78 JPT/month** for 9 months, on top of normal staking earnings.
