# Staking

MindAI staking allows investors to lock their MDAI tokens into staking pools on UNCX to earn passive income. Staking supports the ecosystem by providing liquidity and stability while rewarding participants with attractive Annual Percentage Rates (APR). By staking your MDAI, you can grow your holdings while contributing to the project’s growth.<br>

#### **What Are the Available Pools?**

MindAI offers multiple staking pools to suit different investment preferences:

1. **30 Days Pool:** Earn standard rewards with a short-term commitment.
2. **3 Months Pool:** Receive **30% additional rewards** on top of the base APR.
3. **6 Months Pool:** Enjoy **50% additional rewards** for a longer-term commitment.

**Key Features:**

* **Compounding Option:** Investors will have the ability to compound their rewards, maximizing returns over time.
* **Early Withdrawal:** If you choose to withdraw before the end of your lock period, rewards will not be awarded. However, no penalties will be applied to your staked principal.

**What is APR and How is it Calculated?**

**APR (Annual Percentage Rate)** represents the yearly rate of return earned by staking your tokens. It is calculated as a percentage of the rewards generated relative to the staked amount, excluding compounding.

**Formula to Calculate APR:**&#x20;

$$
\text{APR} = \left( \frac{\text{Rewards Earned Over the Period}}{\text{Staked Amount}} \right) \times \frac{365}{\text{Days in Period}} \times 100
$$

With MindAI, staking pools currently offer approximately **10% APR** as a base, with additional bonuses for longer-term locks.
