Why Fixed APY:
Predictable returns (you know exactly what you'll earn)
Front-loaded rewards (highest APY in Year 1)
Sustainable (max caps prevent over-emission)
Claiming Rewards
5-Month Cliff
Waiting Period: First 5 months (from presale start)
During Cliff:
Rewards accrue automatically
Visible on dashboard (pending)
Cannot claim yet
Zero fees still active
After Cliff (Month 6):
"Claim Rewards" button activates
Click to claim
All accumulated rewards (5 months worth) transfer to wallet
Immediately available
Why Wait 5 Months: Prevents quick dumps. Ensures stakers are committed, not mercenaries gaming the system.
Ongoing Claims
After initial cliff, claim anytime:
Daily (pay gas fees daily)
Weekly (balance rewards vs. gas)
Monthly (lower gas cost percentage)
Let accumulate (claim less frequently)
Recommended: Weekly or monthly claims (balance gas efficiency with compound opportunities).
Claiming Process
Gas Optimization: Batch claim + restake in single transaction (saves gas).
Compounding Strategies
Simple Staking (No Restaking)
Approach: Claim and sell all rewards
Example (100K staked, 150% APY Year 1):
Year 1: Earn 150K $FAN
Year 2: Earn 100K $FAN (at 100% APY)
And so on...
Compound Staking (Restake All)
Approach: Restake all rewards to maximize accumulation
Compounding at these high APY rates accelerates your holdings significantly. Early stakers who compound will see exponential growth.
Hybrid Strategy
Approach: Sell 50%, restake 50%
Benefits:
Generate income (50% sold)
Compound growth (50% restaked)
Balance liquidity and accumulation
Best for: Creators using rewards for living expenses while building stack.
Maximizing Staking Returns
Tip #1: Stake Early
Early stakers benefit from:
Lower initial participation (higher APY)
Full 5-year rewards exposure
Compounding has more time to work
Don't wait. Stake immediately after acquiring.
Tip #2: Compound Consistently
Restaking rewards increases your stake, which increases your share of future emissions.
Example:
Year 1: 10K stake earns 3.5K → Restake → 13.5K stake
Year 2: 13.5K stake earns 3.9K (on larger base)
Compounding accelerates returns
Even small regular restakes add up.
Tip #3: Use Base Network
Claiming on Ethereum: $5-50 gas Claiming on Base: $0.01-0.10 gas
Stake on Base when possible (saves 50-500× on gas fees).
Tip #4: Track Performance
Monitor your:
APY (changes as participation changes)
Pending rewards (accumulating)
Optimal claim timing (gas vs. rewards)
Dashboard shows all metrics in real-time.
Tip #5: Consider Tax Efficiency
Consult tax professional about:
Staking rewards as income (many jurisdictions)
Claiming timing (manage tax year)
Long-term vs. short-term gains
Record-keeping for transactions
Not tax advice, but be aware of implications.
