Staking
Approve, lock, add tokens, claim funded rewards and withdraw at expiry.
Stake the active project token
Staking locks TEST in the active escrow on Robinhood Chain. Your position is associated with the wallet that creates it. Staking is optional and separate from exchange orders.
Check the token and escrow addresses in Contracts & earlier releases. The interface reads them from the active release, so a newly launched token can have a different escrow from an earlier release.
The main staking screen provides amount, lock period, add-to-stake, withdrawal at expiry and funded ETH reward claims. It does not buy or mint tokens for you.
Create a stake
- Connect the wallet holding the project token and switch to Robinhood Chain. Keep ETH for approval and staking gas.
- Enter the token amount, or use Max for the available token balance.
- Choose Minimum, 4 weeks, 12 weeks or 52 weeks. Read the exact UTC unlock date.
- Select Approve & stake. Confirm the token approval if required; an existing nonzero allowance may be reset first.
- Confirm the separate staking transaction. The position updates after confirmation.
An approval alone does not lock your tokens. If a later prompt is cancelled, check your wallet and the existing transaction before retrying the staking action.
Minimum means 7–14 days
The escrow aligns unlock times to weekly boundaries. Its shortest selectable lock is therefore between seven and fourteen days from creation, rather than exactly seven days. The displayed UTC date is the date to use.
Tokens cannot be withdrawn early from this lock. Closing the website, closing a release or disconnecting a wallet does not shorten it.
You can add tokens to an active stake. Adding tokens keeps the existing unlock date; it does not create a new independent lock or restart its duration. Withdraw an expired position before creating a fresh stake.
Funded rewards, not a promised APY
The main screen shows ETH that the escrow reports as claimable for your wallet. Rewards become claimable only if ETH has been funded and allocated under the contract’s accounting. A locked token balance by itself does not create ETH.
There is no fixed APY and no automatic promise that exchange-provider fees are distributed to stakers. Zero claimable ETH can be the correct state, even with an active stake.
Select Claim when an amount is available. A claim is a separate on-chain transaction and costs gas. It does not withdraw your locked principal or change the unlock date.
Withdraw and handle pending transactions
After the on-chain lock expires, the screen offers Withdraw for the locked tokens. Connect the original staking wallet on Robinhood Chain and confirm the withdrawal transaction.
Pending staking hashes are stored locally by wallet and escrow. If confirmation times out, use Check transaction · do not send again. An unavailable RPC is not evidence that the transaction failed.
New stakes depend on the current release being open. Existing withdrawals and claims remain accessible when new staking is closed. Earlier positions are available through Earlier releases.
