Staking Mechanism
Earning Rewards While Supporting the Ecosystem
Project J's staking mechanism creates a powerful incentive system that rewards long-term holders, reduces token velocity, and distributes platform revenue to committed community members.

NFT Staking (Launch Priority)
Genesis NFT Staking Program
First Staking Mechanism to Launch
The Gatchaman Genesis Collection (1,999 cards) will be the first stakeable assets:
NFT Staking Tiers:
| NFT Rarity | Base Power | $J Equivalent | Base APY |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | 100 | 1,000 $J | 15% |
| Rare | 500 | 5,000 $J | 20% |
| Epic | 2,000 | 20,000 $J | 25% |
| Legendary | 10,000 | 100,000 $J | 30% |
| Mythic | 50,000 | 500,000 $J | 35% |
Staking Benefits:
- Immediate revenue share from platform fees
- No lock-up period for NFTs
- Combine multiple NFTs for higher rewards
- Exclusive access to new IP drops
Set Bonuses:
Complete Gatchaman Team (5 unique characters):
├─ 2x staking power multiplier
├─ Exclusive team NFT airdrop
├─ Priority in tournaments
└─ Special governance rights
NFT Staking Rewards Calculation
def calculate_nft_rewards(nft_collection):
base_power = sum(nft.staking_power for nft in nft_collection)
# Apply set bonuses
if has_complete_set(nft_collection):
base_power *= 2
# Time multiplier (increases over time)
time_multiplier = get_time_multiplier(staking_duration)
# Calculate share of reward pool
total_power = get_total_staked_power()
user_share = base_power / total_power
# Apply to reward pool
period_rewards = get_period_reward_pool()
user_rewards = period_rewards * user_share * time_multiplier
return user_rewards
Token Staking (Phase 2)
Flexible Staking Options
Multiple Lock Periods with Increasing Rewards
| Lock Period | Minimum Stake | Base APY | Max APY | Early Unlock Penalty |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flexible | 1,000 $J | 5% | 8% | None |
| 30 days | 5,000 $J | 10% | 15% | 10% |
| 90 days | 10,000 $J | 15% | 25% | 20% |
| 180 days | 25,000 $J | 20% | 35% | 30% |
| 365 days | 50,000 $J | 25% | 45% | 50% |
Reward Distribution:
- Daily compounding
- Claim anytime (flexible) or at maturity (locked)
- Auto-compound option for maximum returns
- Emergency unlock available with penalty
Time Multiplier System
Curve Finance Inspired Model
Time Multipliers:
├─ 1 week: 1.0x (no bonus)
├─ 1 month: 1.1x
├─ 3 months: 1.25x
├─ 6 months: 1.5x
├─ 1 year: 2.0x
├─ 2 years: 2.25x
└─ 4 years: 2.5x (maximum)
How It Works:
- Multiplier increases linearly over time
- Applies to both NFT and token staking
- Resets if tokens are unstaked
- Transferable as veNFT (future feature)
Example Calculation:
- Stake: 100,000 $J for 1 year
- Base APY: 25%
- Time multiplier at 1 year: 2.0x
- Effective APY: 25% × 2.0 = 50%
- Annual rewards: 50,000 $J
Combined Staking (Maximum Rewards)
NFT + Token Synergy
Stack Multiple Staking Types for Compound Benefits
Combination Bonuses:
| Combination | Bonus Multiplier | Additional Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| NFT + Token | 1.3x | Exclusive events access |
| NFT + LP | 1.4x | Trading fee rebates |
| Token + LP | 1.35x | Governance boost |
| All Three | 1.5x | VIP status, maximum rewards |
Example Setup:
Optimal Staking Portfolio:
├─ 5 Genesis NFTs (various rarities)
├─ 100,000 $J tokens (365-day lock)
├─ 50,000 $J in LP tokens
└─ Total effective APY: 67.5%
Smart Contract Integration:
struct CombinedStake has key {
staker: address,
nft_stakes: vector<NFTStake>,
token_stake: TokenStake,
lp_stake: Option<LPStake>,
total_power: u64,
multipliers: Multipliers,
last_claim: u64
}
Scholarship Staking (Future Feature)
Automated NFT Lending Program
Stake NFTs to Enable Scholarships
How It Works:
- Stake NFTs in scholarship pool
- Set revenue sharing terms (40/40/20 split)
- Scholars apply and get matched
- Smart contract manages everything
- Earn passive income + staking rewards
Benefits for Stakers:
- Double rewards (staking + scholarship revenue)
- No active management required
- Increased NFT utility
- Help grow the ecosystem
Revenue Model:
Scholarship Revenue Flow:
├─ 40% → Scholar (player)
├─ 40% → NFT Staker
├─ 15% → Staking reward pool
└─ 5% → Platform operations
Reward Pool Management
Revenue Sources for Staking Rewards
Where Staking Rewards Come From
- Platform Trading Fees: 30% of all trading fees
- IPFi Services: 25% of IPFi revenue
- Game Transaction Fees: 20% allocation
- Special Events: Tournament fees, promotional campaigns
- Partnership Revenue: Collaboration income
Monthly Reward Pool Calculation:
Total Platform Revenue: $1,000,000
├─ Trading Fees Component: $300,000 × 30% = $90,000
├─ IPFi Revenue: $200,000 × 25% = $50,000
├─ Game Fees: $500,000 × 20% = $100,000
└─ Total Staking Pool: $240,000/month
Distribution Formula:
user_rewards = (user_staking_power / total_staking_power) * reward_pool

Staking Metrics Projections
| Metric | Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Value Staked | $10M | $50M | $150M |
| Average APY | 25% | 30% | 35% |
| Staking Ratio | 35% | 45% | 55% |
| Rewards Distributed | $2.5M | $15M | $52.5M |
Token Velocity Reduction
Staking significantly reduces token velocity:
- 35-55% of supply locked in staking
- Average lock period: 6 months
- Reduced selling pressure
- Price stability enhancement
Conclusion
Project J's staking mechanism creates a virtuous cycle where:
- Long-term holders are rewarded with substantial yields
- Platform success directly benefits stakers
- Token velocity is reduced, supporting price
- Community alignment is achieved through shared rewards
With NFT staking launching first, followed by token and LP staking, we provide multiple ways for community members to earn while supporting the ecosystem's growth.
