Staking — Stake $PACK & Partner Tokens on Cronos

WolfSwap's staking platform lets you earn yield by depositing $PACK tokens or partner project tokens into on-chain staking pools. Core pools are powered by WolfSwap's 50% fee buyback model — the more the platform is used, the more rewards flow to stakers.

Beyond $PACK, WolfSwap also hosts community staking pools for partner projects. These pools are created and managed entirely by the partner team — they are solely responsible for handling rewards, pool parameters, and vault management. WolfSwap provides the infrastructure; the partner controls the pool.

Pool Types

Core Pools

Core pools are operated by WolfSwap and powered by platform revenue:

• Stake $PACK → Earn $PACK — The flagship staking pool. Revenue from WolfSwap's 50% fee buyback fuels rewards
• APR tied to platform usage — More trading volume means more fees, which means higher staking rewards
• Managed by WolfSwap — Pool parameters, reward distribution, and operations handled by the team

Community Pools

Community pools allow partner projects to offer staking to their community through WolfSwap's interface:

• Stake Token A → Earn Token B — Partner-defined token pairs
• Managed by the partner project — The partner team is solely responsible for funding rewards, setting APR, managing lock periods, and all vault operations
• WolfSwap provides infrastructure only — The staking contracts and UI are provided, but WolfSwap does not control or guarantee community pool rewards
• No endorsement — Listing a community pool does not constitute a recommendation by WolfSwap

Expired Pools

Pools that have ended their reward period are moved to the Expired tab. If you still have tokens staked in an expired pool, you can withdraw them at any time.

How to Stake

1. Go to the Staking page
2. Browse available pools under the Core or Community tabs
3. Select a pool and click to expand its details
4. Enter the amount you want to stake (or use 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% presets)
5. Approve the token spend (exact amount only — WolfSwap never requests unlimited approvals)
6. Confirm the stake transaction
7. Your rewards start accumulating immediately

Reward Mechanics

APR Types

Each pool uses one of several reward distribution models:

• Fixed APR — A set annual percentage rate that doesn't change
• Hourly rewards — Rewards distributed on an hourly basis
• Dynamic APR — Rate adjusts based on total staked amount and reward pool size

The current APR is always displayed on the pool card before you stake.

How Rewards Accumulate

• Rewards accrue continuously based on your staked amount and the pool's APR
• Pending rewards are visible in real-time on your pool card
• Claim rewards at any time, or they are automatically included when you unstake

Lock Periods & Fees

Some staking pools enforce lock periods to incentivize longer-term staking:

• Lock duration — Displayed on the pool (e.g., "30 Days")
• Early withdrawal fee — If you unstake before the lock expires, a fee is deducted from your rewards
• Fee percentage — Shown transparently on the pool card before you stake
• Unlock status — The pool shows whether your stake is locked or ready to withdraw

Pools without lock periods allow instant withdrawal at any time with no penalties.

NFT Boosters

Select staking pools support NFT boosters — stake eligible NFTs alongside your tokens to increase your APR:

• Bonus per NFT — Each staked NFT adds a percentage bonus to your rewards (e.g., +1% per booster)
• Max boosters — Each pool has a limit on how many NFTs can be staked
• Eligible collections — Wolfies and other supported NFT collections
• Manage boosters — Stake or unstake your NFT boosters at any time through the pool's booster panel

Your current booster bonus is displayed on the pool card as "+X% extra".

What You See on Each Pool

Every staking pool card shows:

• Token pair — Which token you stake and which token you earn
• APR — Current annual percentage rate
• TVL — Total value locked across all stakers
• Staking cap — Maximum amount the pool accepts (if applicable)
• Your staked amount — How much you have deposited
• Pending rewards — Claimable reward amount
• Lock status — Whether your stake is locked or available to withdraw
• Booster info — NFT booster count and bonus percentage (if supported)
• Early withdrawal fee — Penalty percentage for unstaking before lock expiry

Staking on Multiple Chains

Staking pools are available across WolfSwap's supported chains:

• Cronos — Primary chain with Core $PACK pools and community pools
• zkCronos — WOLF NFT staking and partner pools
• Polygon, Base, Blast, Linea, Abstract, Ethereum — Community pools as partner projects launch

Switch chains using the chain selector on the staking page to view available pools on each network.

Tips for Stakers

• Check the APR type — Fixed APR is predictable; dynamic APR changes with TVL
• Understand lock periods — Don't stake tokens you might need before the lock expires
• Use NFT boosters — If you hold eligible NFTs, staking them can increase your APR
• Compare pools — Core pools are backed by platform revenue; community pools depend on the partner project
• Monitor rewards — Claim periodically or let them accumulate until you unstake
• Verify community pools — Community pools are managed by partner teams. Do your own research on the project before staking
