# $DMN Staking System

**The identity of the Dæmonverse is powered by those who stake.**\
Staking strengthens the ecosystem, stabilizes value, and earns players prestige, perks, and power.

***

#### 1. Purpose

Encourage long-term staking to:

* Create a meaingful token sink.
* Support ecosystem health.
* Reward committed players through **Stake Ranks** and **Dæmon Power** multipliers.

***

#### 2. Core Flow

**Stake → Unstake → Withdraw → Restake**

**Stake**

* Deposit $DMN into the staking contract.
* Tokens are locked until an unstake is initiated.
* Sign the Staking Terms & Conditions.

**Unstake Initiation**

* One unstake per wallet every 7 days.
* Triggers a **14-day unlock period**.
* Immediate **−1 Stake Rank** penalty.
* Rank growth pauses if unstaking >25% or balance drops <10,000 $DMN.

> ⚠️ *Warning at unstake:* “You can only unstake once per week, and you will lose one Stake Rank. Are you sure you want your legend to fade?”

**Withdraw (after 14 days)**

* Tokens become withdrawable.
* Stake Rank adjusts by amount withdrawn:
  * ≤25% → no further penalty
  * 25–50% → Rank halved (by at least 2 if 2 Ranks can be lost)
  * ≥50% → Rank reset to 1

***

#### 3. Grace Restake Rules

**Window:** 7 days after unlock completion.\
**Condition:** Restake ≥ amount unstaked.

→ Regains previous Rank (minus 1).\
Restaking less or outside window = treated as fresh stake.

***

#### 4. Stake Rank System

* **Eligibility:** ≥10,000 $DMN
* **Max Rank:** 9
* **+1 Rank per 7 full days** staked.
* **Rank progression pauses** if unstake > 25% or stake < 10,000 $DMN.
* **Cancel unstake** → restores normal growth.

***
