Staking Strategies

Choose strategy based on your goals:

Example of diversified staking portfolio

Strategy 1: Set and Forget (Passive)

Approach:

1. Stake large amount once
2. Claim monthly or quarterly
3. Let compound naturally
4. Minimal management

Set and forget strategy configuration

Best for:

• Long-term holders
• Passive investors
• Busy people
• Risk-averse users

Example:

Stake:     100,000 WICC
Claims:    Monthly (12 times/year)
Gas Cost:  ~0.12 WIC/year
Result:    ~172,500 WICC year 1

Strategy 2: Active Compounding (Growth)

Approach:

1. Stake initial amount
2. Claim daily or weekly
3. Restake all rewards immediately
4. Maximize compound effect

Active daily compounding setup

Best for:

• Growth maximizers
• Active traders
• Daily checkers
• High return seekers

Example:

Stake:     100,000 WICC
Claims:    Daily (365 times/year)
Gas Cost:  ~3.65 WIC/year
Result:    ~173,000 WICC year 1 (+3% boost)

Strategy 3: Balanced (Recommended)

Approach:

1. Stake comfortable amount
2. Claim weekly or bi-weekly
3. Restake 50-75% of rewards
4. Balance growth and liquidity

Balanced weekly claiming strategy

Best for:

• Most users
• Balanced approach
• Moderate activity
• Steady growth

Example:

Stake:     100,000 WICC
Claims:    Weekly (52 times/year)
Gas Cost:  ~0.52 WIC/year
Result:    ~172,800 WICC year 1
Restaked:  75% of claims
Liquid:    25% for flexibility

Strategy 4: Dollar Cost Averaging

Approach:

1. Split total into smaller amounts
2. Stake weekly over 1-3 months
3. Average out price volatility
4. Build positions gradually

DCA staking schedule example

Best for:

• Risk managers
• New users
• Price-conscious
• Gradual builders

Example:

Total:      100,000 WICC
Schedule:   10,000 WICC weekly for 10 weeks
Positions:  10 separate positions
Benefit:    Average entry price, lower risk

Understanding APR vs APY

Interactive APR/APY calculator

APR (Annual Percentage Rate)

73% APR = Base rate without compounding

100,000 WICC × 73% = 73,000 WICC per year

Simple calculation:
Daily: 0.2% × 100,000 = 200 WICC
Year:  200 WICC × 365 days = 73,000 WICC

APY (Annual Percentage Yield)

~103% APY = With daily compounding

100,000 WICC with daily compound = ~173,000 WICC

Compound calculation:
(1 + 0.002)^365 = 2.064
100,000 × 2.064 = 206,400 WICC theoretical
Actual: ~173,000 (accounting for gas, timing)

When to Claim Your Rewards

Claiming Frequency Decision Tree

How much do you have staked?

├─ < 10,000 WICC
│  └─ Claim: Monthly or Quarterly
│     Reason: Gas costs eat into small rewards
│
├─ 10,000 - 100,000 WICC
│  └─ Claim: Weekly or Bi-Weekly
│     Reason: Good balance of gas vs compound
│
└─ > 100,000 WICC
   └─ Claim: Daily or Every Few Days
      Reason: Rewards large enough to justify gas

Interactive decision tree for optimal claiming frequency

Gas Cost Consideration

Your Daily Earnings: 20 WICC
Gas Cost per Claim:  0.01 WIC (~10 WICC equivalent)

Break-even:
If daily earnings > gas cost → OK to claim daily
If daily earnings < gas cost → Wait longer

Example:
20 WICC/day - 10 WICC gas = 10 WICC net profit
Still profitable but consider weekly for better ratio

• Re-approve if needed

6. Don't Share Wallet Access

• Never share seed phrase
• No one needs your keys
• Beware of scams

7. Don't Over-Compound

• Gas costs add up
• Find optimal frequency
• Weekly often best

8. Don't Panic Sell

• Short-term volatility normal
• Long-term mindset
• Have exit strategy

Advanced: Automation Strategies

For Developers: Auto-Stake Script

Example automation script setup

// Example: Automated weekly staking
const schedule = require('node-schedule');
const { ethers } = require('ethers');
 
// Schedule: Every Monday at 9am
schedule.scheduleJob('0 9 * * 1', async () => {
  const amountToStake = ethers.utils.parseUnits("1000", 18);
 
  // Check balance
  const balance = await wiccToken.balanceOf(wallet.address);
  if (balance.lt(amountToStake)) return;
 
  // Check cooldown
  const lastAction = await contract.lastActionTime(wallet.address);
  const now = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);
  if (now - lastAction < 60) return;
 
  // Execute stake
  const tx = await contract.stake(
    amountToStake,
    referrerAddress // or ethers.constants.AddressZero
  );
 
  await tx.wait();
  console.log(`Staked ${amountToStake} WICC at ${new Date()}`);
});
