Part 1: Staking Fundamentals (Back to Basics)

New to staking? Or just need a refresher? This section covers the core concepts.

Q: What is staking in Gods Unchained?
A: Staking is a way for active players to earn passive $GODS token rewards. It’s designed to reward you for your participation in the ecosystem. Simply hold $GODS in your compatible wallet and meet the eligibility requirements outlined below in Part 2.

Q: What is passive staking?
A: Our staking program is designed to be user-friendly. There is no locking of your tokens. This means you always have access to your $GODS and can use or trade them at any time, without missing out on rewards.

Part 2: How to Participate (Getting Started & Staying Eligible)

These are the rules of the game. Follow these, and you're set to earn.

Q: What do I need to do to be eligible for staking rewards?
A: It’s simple! You just need to hold any amount of $GODS in your wallet (no minimum!) and complete one or more of the following actions:

  • Play at least one ranked match of Gods Unchained.
  • Purchase a pack from the most recent active sale.
  • Buy or sell a Gods Unchained card on a marketplace.

Q: Where exactly do I need to hold my $GODS tokens?
A: You can hold your $GODS in any wallet supported on the Immutable zkEVM network. For the best and most seamless experience, we recommend using MetaMask or Immutable Passport.

Q: I’m a new player. How do I get $GODS tokens to stake?
A: There are a few easy ways to get your hands on $GODS:

  • Centralized Exchanges (CEXs): Purchase them on platforms like Coinbase, Bitget, or OKX and then deposit them on Immutable zkEVM using the Immutable Toolkit
  • Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs): Swap them on Immutable zkEVM using the Immutable Toolkit or GODS.Exchange.
  • Play-and-Earn: Remember, Gods Unchained is Play-and-Earn! You can earn $GODS rewards simply by playing through the Daily Play & Earn program.

Q: What are the recommended exchanges to buy from?
A: For a comprehensive and up-to-date list of all exchanges that list $GODS, check out its page on CoinMarketCap.

Part 3: Understanding Your Rewards (The Nitty-Gritty)

This is what everyone wants to know: how much, and how often?

Q: How are my staking rewards calculated?
A: Rewards are distributed from a fixed maximum pool of tokens (let's call it amount X). Your share of the rewards is directly proportional to your share of the total $GODS held by all eligible wallets during the snapshot period.

  • Example: If you hold 0.005% of the total $GODS in the staking pool, you will earn 0.005% of the reward pool (X) for that period.

Q: How often are rewards distributed?
A: Snapshots for rewards are taken weekly, with distributions occurring monthly. 

Q:Do I need to claim my rewards?
A:  Yes, you do. You can claim your rewards at your convenience after they have been calculated. Remember that reward calculations are based solely on the $GODS held in your wallet during each new weekly period, and do NOT include any unclaimed rewards.

Part 4: The Migration (For Existing Stakers)

Already staked on Immutable X? Here’s your essential guide to the transition.

Q: I staked before on Immutable X. What specific actions do I need to take now?
A: The staking program is now exclusively on Immutable zkEVM. If you haven't already, you must migrate your tokens from Immutable X to Immutable zkEVM to participate. Please follow our official migration guide for step-by-step instructions.

Q: What happens to my unclaimed rewards from the old staking system?
A: Any unclaimed rewards from the previous staking program on Immutable X have been forfeited and are not eligible for migration to the new system.

Q: How do I qualify for rewards during the staking program's downtime?
A: As long as you met the eligibility criteria outlined in Part 2 during the weeks of the migration, you will qualify for rewards for those periods. The system tracks your eligibility weekly, so your activity is what counts.

We're excited to have you staking with us on Immutable zkEVM soon!. Now get out there, play some games, and earn your rewards!

See you in the Arena,
