Amazing. It has almost been a full year, and our community is still holding strong. We have almost as many token holders as when we started. Why so many? This is a blockchain e-commerce project. There are no games, no deep-fried monkeys. Just business. Is it our perfect fundamentals? Our talented writer?

That’s right, the new staking pool has arrived, and it is a meme in itself. It launches today, 4/20, at 4:20 pm PST. Click the link HERE to visit the portal!

And no need to worry about staking periods this time. Enrollment is open until the end of the year. Jump in and join the fun whenever you’re ready. Some other important details include:

  • 100% APY Compounding Annually (69.420% APR)
  • Minimum 30-day lockup.

The dapp is more or less the same as before but for those of you who need help, below is a short tutorial to guide you through it. But before you get started, make sure you have already downloaded Metamask and have moved your SHOPX from an exchange to your Metamask wallet. If your SHOPX is already in your wallet, then please continue. (**You will need to unstake any tokens from previous pools to enter them into this pool**)

Keep in mind, that this is Phase 1 of PoolX.

When ProtocolX goes live, it will generate yield in ETH. That ETH will be deposited into PoolX. This will create the ETH/SHOPX pair that will be deposited into a DEX where stakers can earn LP rewards. Learn more about PoolX in the whitepaper. View the PoolX terms HERE.

Here, you will be able to see how many tokens are in your wallet, how many you originally staked, how many you have earned in this pool, and how many total are currently staked.

Connect Wallet — Top Right

Make sure that your SHOPX is already in your Metamask wallet before you proceed.

Go ahead and click the “Connect” button on the Metamask window that pops up.

Once approved you will see the “Sending deposit transaction” and Metamask will appear again.

Now you’re done! If this is all you need, feel free to click “clap,” follow me, send me 1 BTC, and then go about your day. If you need a few more tips, continue below:

Add to Staked Amount

If you want to add more tokens to your stake, make sure this slider is toggled to “Stake”.

Enter amount or press MAX to stake from available SHOPX tokens

Confirm both the Token Approval and Staking transactions in Metamask

…and once again confirm new amount staked has increased

Toggle to unstake to withdraw and Minimum 30 Day lock period

A countdown timer will count the days remaining until you can unstake. After 30 days since you last staked, you may withdraw funds by unstaking

Unstaking will withdraw all funds from the pool.

Confirm withdraw transaction on wallet.

The Staked/Earned/Total balance will be zero and all SHOPX will be returned to wallet custody
