# Staking-Hub

The Staking-Hub is one of the foundational mechanisms of our ecosystem, and the strongest value proposition of its GameFi. Every member can start their journey by engaging in the staking process, which offers <img src="/files/uJ59gvHy035BfUrBzzJ9" alt="" data-size="line">[$HEXO](/tokenomics/hexonium-or-usdhexo.md) utility tokens as the first rewards for the supported NFTs they hold.

### :point\_right: Key Points

* Any user who has supported NFTs can start to generate rewards
* Staking process is non-custodial; NFTs never leave holder's wallet
* Members can receive <img src="/files/uJ59gvHy035BfUrBzzJ9" alt="" data-size="line">[$HEXO](/tokenomics/hexonium-or-usdhexo.md) as daily rewards
* Owning a [Land NFT](/collections/lands.md) unlocks 100% rewards potential
* Collections can have reward multipliers based on the number of votes
* Collections with 250k+ votes receive additional utility in [Gold Rush](/games/gold-rush.md)
* Collections with 1m+ votes receive extra utility in [Gold Rush](/games/gold-rush.md)
* Staking-Hub currently supports only projects on the Cardano blockchain.

### :teacher: How it Works

Any NFT Project can taking part in our Staking-Hub by simply submitting an application in our Discord. Once a collection has been added, the collection will become eligible for staking and will appear on the leaderboard under its project name. The system will automatically determine the reward potential of any NFTs in the collection using the equation seen further below.

Joining the Staking-Hub is free and the Cardanolands team is actively inviting new projects. Today, more than 1,200 NFT collections are already participating in the Staking-Hub.

In order for NFTs belonging to a collection to begin generating daily rewards, the collection must reach a certain number of votes. Anyone can contribute votes, whether its the owner of the collection or a simple user. &#x20;

To participate, users simply accumulate the desired amount of <img src="/files/ckYPEUkR3c5tfByksyIP" alt="" data-size="line">[$EXO](/tokenomics/exonium-or-usdexo.md) tokens in their account balance and then apply them as votes to their favorite projects: 1 <img src="/files/ckYPEUkR3c5tfByksyIP" alt="" data-size="line">[$EXO](/tokenomics/exonium-or-usdexo.md) = 1 vote. If they do not have enough available <img src="/files/ckYPEUkR3c5tfByksyIP" alt="" data-size="line">[$EXO](/tokenomics/exonium-or-usdexo.md) on their account balance, they'll need to deposit it from their crypto wallet. Votes can be converted back to <img src="/files/ckYPEUkR3c5tfByksyIP" alt="" data-size="line">[$EXO](/tokenomics/exonium-or-usdexo.md) at any time!

The larger the vote total a project has, the bigger the rewards bonus it receives. Collections that manage to attain enough votes to achieve a new rank automatically level up and receive new bonuses starting from the next round. Here you will find a rewards table based on the achieved amount of votes:

<table><thead><tr><th width="190">Rank</th><th width="147">Votes</th><th>Bonus</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1-10 Rank</td><td>dynamic</td><td>Eligible for daily rewards</td></tr><tr><td><strong>High League</strong></td><td>250,000</td><td>Grants access to mine rewards constantly with calculated Mining Power.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>1.5x Multiplier</strong></td><td>500,000</td><td>Increase Mining Power for x1.5.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>1.75x Multiplier</strong></td><td>750,000</td><td>Increase Mining Power for x1.75.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>2x Multiplier</strong></td><td>1,000,000+</td><td>Increase Mining Power for x2.</td></tr></tbody></table>

The staking process is divided into rounds that repeat on **14-day timeframes**. After each round, the system makes a snapshot of the vote distribution. When the snapshot is taken, all qualified collections with enough votes will mine rewards, based on their rank for the next 14 days. This process is followed by the next round during which users may vote for the next distribution of collections in the leaderboard. Rinse and repeat.

### :gear: Details

* In order to get staking rewards, NFTs must be in the user's wallet for 24 hours
* Project owners can ask to add several policies ID under their Project
* In order for a project to be added to staking, it must have at least 1 collection minting/minted
* 3rd party marketplace wallets, and other wallets that do not hold NFTs as their OWN property, or wallets made for “burning” purposes can be excluded from gaining rewards by CardanoLands team discretion

The amount of <img src="/files/uJ59gvHy035BfUrBzzJ9" alt="" data-size="line">[$HEXO](/tokenomics/hexonium-or-usdhexo.md) that is distributed daily is tied to the ratio between collection supply and amount of holders. This amount is called - **Mining Power**.

The mining power of a collection is increased parallel to the number of unique holders. Distributed rewards range from 0.1 up to 20 [$HEXO](/tokenomics/hexonium-or-usdhexo.md) per day. The following formula explains the calculation process for the mining power of each NFT collection:

```
X = Const(10 000) / Supply
MP(NFT) = X * Holders / Const (1000)
```

* Const() = Constant value (can be changed later by team decision)
* Supply = Collection supply by policy ID
* Holders = Collection holders amount by policy ID
* MP(NFT) = Mining Power per single NFT
