Many of our Studio owners have been asking after token staking and liquidity pools, and we’re happy to announce that these features are now live. But we’ve also included a fun twist. All your staking and liquidity pool contributions can be aligned with in-game Factions.
How it works: quick version
$PXL tokens can be staked in-game (not on Hive Engine). Access staking in-game here.
The SWAP.HIVE:PXL liquidity pool, however, is on Hive Engine.
The game will track the total staked and provided in the pool (pool tokens get a 1.25x boost). As soon as you have something staked or in the pool, you can choose one of four factions to align your staking power with. These factions (will soon) provide in-game bonuses as well as some extra $PXL every 6 hours.
Details
Choosing and switching factions
At the time of launch, all factions will follow the same rules: they will award some $PXL every 6 hours based on how much you’ve staked. The amount of $PXL depends on a few things:
- Your stake total (including LP) compared to others who support the faction
- The faction’s pool of $PXL, which is filled periodically
Since the pool filling and the relative faction support is dynamic, the return figures on staking are not published. Enterprising players may seek to develop their own tools to try and pin the ever-changing figure down though.
In the near future, factions will also begin to provide in-game bonuses on top of their $PXL payouts. Which faction you support may depend on maximizing $PXL, or game bonuses, or some combination.
Changing factions
You may change a faction after a 5-day cooldown. This is to prevent people from rapidly switching factions to capitalize on trends or engage in other opportunistic tactics.
LP Boost
Tokens in the liquidity pool will enjoy a 1.25x boost when calculating Faction support numbers. Liquidity providers also enjoy earning a portion of the fees collected by the pool whenever a swap occurs (this is built into Hive Engine pools).
Unstaking
Unstaking tokens (in-game) is a 5-day process.
Stay tuned for lore and Rulebook updates
We will soon be releasing some game lore around the Factions, as well as updating the Rulebook to reflect the new staking rules and Faction bonuses.
