EQ Staking is a feature exclusive to EQ Holders that significantly enhances rewards. By depositing EQ tokens into one of the three pools (Lending, Insurance, and Stableswap), EQ holders receive a multiplier boost on earnings from these pools.

The multiplier boost ranges from x1.05 to x3.4, and depending on their desired lock period (1 to 24 months), the longer the lock period, the higher the multiplier they receive. EQ Staking is a robust addition to any Equilibrium yield farming strategy.

Note that EQ Staking does not generate rewards — it is simply a tool to amplify the yields from Equilibrium pools.

EQ holders stake their EQ, deposit assets into any of the three Equilibrium pools to maximize their earnings.

  • Stableswap pool (Up to 49% APR)
  • Insurance pool (Up to 73,5% APR)
  • Lending pool (Up to 49% APR)

With the EQ Blast campaign, EQ owners can supercharge their strategies with huge yields. But what is the EQ Blast program?

Equilibrium Blast — An APR Boost Campaign

The EQ Blast Liquidity Mining program recognizes the dedicated members of the Equilibrium community who remain engaged with us through social media or event participation. These individuals are eligible for a 1.5x multiplier on their yield, as outlined in the Blast program terms and conditions. Click here and claim your multiplier before February 20th!

Here is one example of how EQ Staking and composable strategies come together to create monster yields.

1. Stake EQ

2. Deposit DOT

3. Liquid stake DOT and receive eqDOT (12% APR)

4. Use eqDOT as collateral to mint EQD

5. Deposit USDC

6. Supply EQD and USDC to the stableswap pool (up to 49% APR)

7. Deposit LP token into the Insurance pool (up to 73.5% APR)

This way a user benefits from DOT staking rewards as well as boosted EQ rewards from Stableswap and Insurance pools.

Staking EQ is a valuable opportunity, especially with the EQ Blast campaign, for both current EQ Holders and those considering using Equilibrium. By staking part of their EQ portfolios, EQ owners can maximize their profits and leverage the EQ Blast campaign for additional yields.

Whether you’re just starting or have been using Equilibrium for a while, EQ Staking is essential to maximizing your returns.

Participate in EQ staking to increase your EQ yields by leveraging the additional earnings from the EQ Blast program!
