We’ve increased the APY in our latest staking program that went live here on May 4. The program has been made possible through our partnership with Ferrum Network and is another step towards achieving Kianite’s original vision at inception.

A Brief Overview of the Traditional Staking Program

Staking has become one of the major features of Proof of Stake blockchains. Staking involves the lending of user coins to a blockchain, enabling it to function efficiently. In return, users who deposit their assets through the staking program are rewarded with additional coins via the blockchain.

In Kianite’s case , users stake their $KIAN tokens and will be rewarded with more in return. Staking is quite attractive, as users receive more tokens by simply holding their coins on the blockchain. The more tokens users can gain from staking, the more likely they will continue to offer on the blockchain.

The Kianite Traditional Staking Program

Our traditional staking pool opened on May 4 at 2pm (UTC). The pool has two options: pink diamond and gray diamond. Each of these options has differentiating features. The pink diamond option has a staking cap of 1,200,000 $KIAN with a 30-day maturity period. Users who stake their tokens for the full term will be rewarded with a 60% APY.

On the other hand, the gray diamond option has a staking cap of 600,000 $KIAN with a 45-day maturity periodmaturity period of 45 days. The APY for this option is higher at 85%.

Pink Diamond

  • APY: 60%
  • Maturity Period: 30 days
  • Maximum Pool Size: 1.2M $KIAN
  • Mandatory Lock Period: 10 days
  • Early Release APY: 25%

Gray Diamond

  • APY: 85%
  • Maturity Period: 45 days
  • Maximum Pool Size: 600K $KIAN
  • Mandatory Lock Period: 15 days
  • Early Release APY: 32%

Although this staking program has a maturity period, we have allowed for early withdrawals to ensure that users who cannot stake for the full period don’t feel trapped by our terms. Therefore, they can withdraw their stake at any time before the maturity date, but after the early withdrawal dates have been announced.

Early withdrawals for both pink diamond and gray diamond will start on May 5 at 5 PM UTC. However, an early withdrawal will affect stakers’ rewards. For instance, the pink diamond option will only give staking rewards at 25% APY and grey diamond at 32% APY for withdrawing your tokens before the maturity period is over.
