💰Staking

Staking allows members to earn more AD Token by staking AD Token or LP Token.

Staking mining will get very good rewards, and they have the risk of impermanence loss at the same time. It is not as scary as it sounds, but it is worthwhile to understand it properly before starting mining.

Rules

In Staking, you can stake AD or LP to get rewards.

Staking AD: You could pledge any amount of AD in the AD mining pool to get more AD as a reward;

Staking LP: You need to stake the corresponding LP mining pool with LP to get AD as a reward;

Before staking LP, what you have to know is that you should stake enough AD in the AD mining pool first to be eligible for staking LP;

Relatively, staking LP could get more rewards. You will need some "LP Tokens" to pledge LP mining pools. LP mining pools only accept their own LP Token. For example, AD-BUSD LP mining pools will only accept AD-BUSD LP Token. To obtain the accurate LP Token, you need to provide liquidity for the trading pair.

This may sound daunting, but it's not too complicated, let's take it step by step.

Look For Mining Pool

Before continuing, you need to choose a mining pool that suits you, visit the Staking page, and you will see a list of available mining pools.

AD mining pools and AD-BUSD are fixed at the top of the list, and are sorted by default. If you want, you can choose to only look at the pledged or sort by APR.
