How Staking Works
Step-by-step guide: from choosing a tier and sending tokens to receiving your tokens back at the end of the lock period.
Step 1: Set Withdrawal Address
Before staking, you must provide a Solana wallet address where your $POLYBLOCK will be sent when the staking period ends. This can be the same wallet you use to send the tokens or a different one (e.g. a cold wallet). Double-check the address; Polyblock is not responsible for tokens sent to an incorrect address.
Step 2: Choose Tier & Amount
Select one of the available tiers (15, 30, 60, or 90 days). Each tier has an associated maximum Auto Trader trade size. You must stake at least 1,000,000 $POLYBLOCK; you can enter a higher amount if you wish. The minimum and tier options are shown on the Staking page.
Step 3: Send Tokens
The app gives you a unique staking wallet address. From your Phantom (or other Solana) wallet, send:
- •$POLYBLOCK — At least the minimum required amount (1,000,000 tokens)
- •SOL — A one-time fee to cover network and operational costs (amount shown on the Staking page)
Use the exact amounts shown. After the transaction confirms on Solana, the backend will verify the deposit and activate your stake.
Step 4: Verification & Access
Once your deposit is detected and verified, your staking status is updated and Auto Trader access is granted according to your tier. You can view your active stakes and tier on the "My Stakes" tab on the Staking page. If verification fails (e.g. network delay), you may be prompted to retry; your tokens are already in the staking wallet.
At the End of the Period
When the staking period ends, your $POLYBLOCK is automatically returned to the withdrawal address you provided. You do not need to "unstake" manually. Return is processed as a single transfer per stake; timing depends on Solana network conditions.
After the return, that stake is closed. If you had multiple stakes, only the one that reached its end date is returned. Your Auto Trader access continues as long as you have at least one active stake that grants the tier you need.
Increasing Trade Size During an Active Stake
In order for users to increase trade size limits during an active stake, users must create a new stake with their desired tier. Stakes cannot be extended or upgraded; to continue or change your tier, create a new stake when you have tokens available.
