This guide is all about COA Staking—an easy and rewarding way to earn more COA tokens while supporting the network. By locking up your COA for a certain period, you help secure the ecosystem and, in return, get rewarded. Here’s everything you need to know to get started with COA staking:

• Lock your COA tokens for a set period of time to earn rewards. The longer you lock your tokens, the more COA rewards you can earn.

• No minimum or maximum amount required.

• Set your own lock-in period: minimum 30 days, maximum 365 days (1 year).

• Once the lock-in period starts, you won’t be able to access your staked COA.

• After the lock-in period ends, you have two options:

  • Continue staking to keep earning (no action needed).

  • Unstake and begin the 14-day vesting period.

• Rewards can be claimed at the end of the vesting period. Both the initial stake and the accumulated reward will be sent to your wallet.

To Stake you’ll need:

• Around $1 of BNB on BSC to cover gas fees

• COA tokens

• 10 minutes of your time

Step-by-Step Guide to COA Staking

Head to the Staking Platform
Visit the dedicated staking page to start staking your COA tokens and earning rewards. You can access the platform here(https://staking.alliancegames.xyz/). Currently, the platform operates on the Binance Smart Chain network.

Choose Your Stake
Decide how many COA tokens you want to stake and for how long. The lock-in period ranges from 30 to 365 days. Remember, the longer you lock your COA, the greater the potential rewards.

Remember, both the initial stake and the accumulated reward can only be claimable at the end of the lock-in and vesting period.

Confirm and Stake
After selecting your stake amount and lock-in period, confirm the transaction to officially start earning rewards on your locked COA!

Understanding Stake Weight

This part is fully optional as everything will be calculated automatically for you, so if you don’t like formulas just check the staking APR on the website.

Stake Weight

Stake Weight represents your relative share of rewards in the staking pool. It’s calculated based on the amount of COA staked and the lock-in period, with higher values for both leading to a bigger Stake Weight.

The sum of all users’ Stake Weights is called Global Weight.

Stake Weight Formula

Stake Weight = (((T × WM ÷ MSP) + BW ) × A) ÷ WF

• T = locked period in seconds
  
  
  

• A = value staked in COA × 1,000,000
  
  
  

• MSP (Max Stake Period) = 31,536,000 seconds (365 days)
  
  
  

• WM (Weight Multiplier) = 1,000,000,000,000,000
  
  
  

• BW (Base Weight) = 10,000,000,000,000
  
  
  

• WF (Weight Factor) = 100,000,000,000
  
  
  

You don’t need to calculate this yourself. The system automatically computes your Stake Weight.

Impact of More Stakers

• As more users stake COA, the Global Weight rises.
  
  
  

• Your relative share shrinks, lowering your yield.
  
  
  

• Early stakers earn more rewards since they get a larger share of the pool.
  
  
  

• If others unstake later, your share increases again.
  
  
  

Prize Allocation & FAQs

Q: Can I monitor my rewards?

A: Yes. Your rewards accumulate in real time and are visible on the staking page. They are calculated continuously based on your stake weight. You can only withdraw them after your lock-in period ends, either by continuing to stake or by choosing to unstake. If you continue staking after lock-in, your rewards keep growing automatically.

Q: What happens if I unstake my COA?

A: You can only unstake after your lock-in period ends. Once you unstake, your rewards stop accumulating and a 14-day unbonding period begins. During this time, no new rewards are earned. At the end of the 14 days, both your original stake and accumulated rewards become claimable in one transaction. You don’t need to unstake when the lock-in ends—leaving your stake active means it keeps earning rewards.

Q: Is there a minimum or maximum staking amount?

A: No. There are no minimum or maximum limits. You can stake any amount of COA tokens.

Q: How are rewards allocated?

A: Rewards come from a fixed emission rate that is distributed every second. Your share of rewards depends on your stake weight relative to the total pool. Stake weight increases with both the amount of COA you stake and the length of your lock-in period. For example, someone staking 1,000 COA for 12 months will generally earn more than someone staking 1,000 COA for 1 month.

Q: Do early stakers have an advantage?

A: Yes, early stakers may benefit because rewards are distributed at a fixed rate. When fewer participants are in the pool, each staker receives a larger share. As more people join, the same reward rate is shared among more participants, which lowers individual APR.

Q: What happens if I do nothing after my lock-in ends?

A: Your stake simply continues earning rewards. There is no automatic withdrawal or forced unbonding. You remain free to decide when to unstake and start the 14-day waiting period.

Q: Can I pause or withdraw early during the lock-in?

A: No. Once your COA is locked, you cannot withdraw until the lock-in period ends. This ensures stability in the staking pool.

Q: Are there risks I should know about?

A: You need a small amount of BNB on BSC to cover gas fees for staking, unstaking, and claiming. In rare cases, such as contract maintenance or security updates, staking operations can be temporarily paused by the admin. Rewards calculation continues normally during a pause, and your funds remain safe in the contract.
