# Staking & Rewards #### **1. Staking Options and Mechanism** Delnorte offers innovative **staking** options that allow **token holders** to earn rewards by **staking their tokens** within the platform. These staking options come with varying **lockup periods** and **reward rates**, providing flexibility and encouraging long-term commitment. **Key Staking Features:** * **DeFi Integration with NFTs**: Delnorte’s staking mechanism incorporates **NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens)** that represent **real-world assets** recognized by the government. This creates a **unique opportunity** for token holders to stake their tokens in association with tangible, government-backed assets, blending **crypto staking** with **asset-backed investments**. * **Crowdfunding Participation**: Token holders can use their staked tokens and NFTs to participate in **crowdfunding projects** facilitated by **Delnorte** or third-party platforms. This enables token holders to invest in **real-world assets**while supporting the development of digital innovation within the ecosystem. * **Liquidity for Tokenized Assets**: Staked tokens can provide liquidity for **tokenized projects** in the ecosystem, allowing users to earn **dividend yields** from **verified businesses and assets**. This allows for **passive income** while supporting the growth of the platform. * **NFT Staking**: In addition to staking tokens, holders of **asset-backed NFTs** have the ability to **stake their NFTs**. This provides access to **unlock liquidity** and yields, akin to a **reverse mortgage** in traditional finance. By staking NFTs, token holders can maximize returns and participate in the growth of both **physical** and **digital** assets. *** #### **2. Rewards Source** The **staking rewards** will be sourced from a **portion of transaction fees** collected on the platform. This creates an ecosystem where users are incentivized to **hold tokens** and participate in securing the platform through staking. This approach also aligns token holder interests with the long-term success and growth of Delnorte. **Benefits of Staking Rewards:** * **Incentive to Hold Tokens**: The rewards encourage users to retain their tokens, which contributes to platform stability and liquidity. * **Platform Security**: By staking tokens, users contribute to the security and integrity of the Delnorte ecosystem, benefiting from the **increased value and usage** of the platform. * **Higher Reward Potential**: As users stake more tokens and NFTs, they can unlock higher levels of rewards and benefits, creating a **compounding effect** on their investment. *** #### **3. Dividend Payout Currency** Dividends earned through staking can be **paid out in ETH (Ethereum)** or **RST (Delnorte’s Reward System Token)**, with distinct incentives for choosing **RST** as the payout currency. **Dividend Payment Details:** * **ETH Dividends**: Payments made in **ETH** are subject to the **ETH network fee**, which is a small transaction fee for using the Ethereum network. * **RST Dividends**: If dividends are paid in **RST**, there is a **0.1% fee** (waived), offering a **lower-cost** and **more efficient** option for token holders. This creates an incentive for users to opt for **RST** payouts, helping to boost the liquidity and utility of the RST token within the Delnorte ecosystem. *** #### **4. Summary of Staking and Rewards Mechanisms** * **Staking Options**: Multiple staking options with varying lockup periods and reward rates, designed to offer flexibility for token holders. * **NFT and Staking Integration**: The combination of **NFTs** representing **real-world assets** and **crypto staking**facilitates **asset-backed investments**, providing new opportunities for users to participate in crowdfunding and liquidity provision. * **Rewards Source**: Staking rewards are funded from transaction fees, encouraging token holders to secure the platform and participate in its growth. * **Dividend Payout Options**: Dividends can be paid in **ETH** or **RST**, with a **small fee** for ETH payouts and a **waived fee** for RST payouts, incentivizing users to use RST for dividend distribution.
