Staking

Securing Internet Networks

Wayru allows anyone to boost and share hotspot rewards by staking $WAYRU.

Staking removes tokens from circulation, strengthens network security, and directly links token holders’ upside to the network's real performance.

This is what real DePIN staking looks like.

Technical Parameters

• Base multiplier: 1.0× (no staking)

• Maximum multiplier: 3.0×

• Per-token increment: +0.000002× per 1 $WAYRU deposited

• Minimum deposit: 1 $WAYRU

• Maximum effective deposit per hotspot: 1,000,000 $WAYRU

• Lock period: 90 days from the most recent deposit

At 1,000,000 $WAYRU deposited, the multiplier reaches its 3.0× cap.

How Staking Works

1. Choose a Hotspot

   • Go to the Wayru Explorer.

   • Connect your Solana wallet.

   • Browse and select the Hotspot you want to stake to.

2. Deposit $WAYRU

   • Decide how much you want to stake (from 1 to 1,000,000 $WAYRU per hotspot).

   • Confirm the transaction and pay any blockchain + protocol fees.

3. Receive a Stake NFT

   • You receive a Stake NFT that represents your staking position on that specific Hotspot.

   • If you later add more $WAYRU to the same Hotspot, the same NFT is updated; no new NFT is minted.

4. Earn Boosted Rewards

   • Your deposit increases the Hotspot’s multiplier immediately (up to 3.0×).

   • The extra rewards generated by the multiplier are shared between you and the Hotspot Operator.

Reward Split

Only the extra rewards created by the multiplier are shared between the depositor and the operator.

• Base rewards (at 1.0×):

  • 100% go to the Hotspot Operator.

• Bonus rewards (above 1.0×):

  • 80% → Depositor (staker)

  • 20% → Hotspot Operator

The operator always keeps their base rewards in full. Staking adds a layer of boosted security that both parties share.

Claiming Rewards

• No staking, locking, or delegation is required. Just hold the Stake NFT in your wallet.

• Rewards accrue automatically for each Stake NFT based on the Hotspot’s daily rewards.

• Holders can view and claim rewards directly in the Wayru Explorer.

• You may claim at any time after Claim Day, which runs every Tuesday.

• Rewards are distributed in $WAYRU.

Multiplier Mechanics

• At 0 $WAYRU deposited, the Hotspot runs at 1.0×.

• For every 1 $WAYRU you deposit, the multiplier increases by +0.000002×.

• At 1,000,000 $WAYRU deposited, the multiplier reaches 3.0× and stops increasing.

You can deposit in multiple transactions. Each new deposit:

• Updates your effective multiplier share

• Resets the 90-day lock timer on your Stake NFT

Withdraw Your Deposit

• Your deposit is locked for 90 days from the most recent deposit.

• After 90 days, you may withdraw your entire deposited amount for that Hotspot.

• Partial withdrawals are not allowed: you either withdraw all or leave all staked.

• When you withdraw:

  • Your Stake NFT is burned.

  • The Hotspot’s multiplier decreases according to the new total staked amount.

Adjust Your Deposit

• You can add more $WAYRU to the same Hotspot at any time.

• Your Stake NFT is updated on-chain to reflect the new total deposit.

• The multiplier recalculates immediately based on the new total staked amount.

• Each top-up resets the 90-day lock for that position.

Simple Examples

$WAYRU Deposit	Calculation	Multiplier
0 $WAYRU	Base → 1.0	1.0x
25,000 $WAYRU	1.0 + (25,000 × 0.000002) = 1.05	1.05x
100,000 $WAYRU	1.0 + (100,000 × 0.000002) = 1.2	1.2x
250,000 $WAYRU	1.0 + (250,000 × 0.000002) = 1.5	1.5x
1,000,000 $WAYRU	1.0 + (1,000,000 × 0.000002) = 3.0	3.0x

Example Breakdown

Assume the following for one epoch:

• A Hotspot earns a Daily Hotspot Score of 2 at 1.0×.

• At 1.0×, a score of 2 corresponds to 50 $WAYRU in base rewards.

• A user stakes 1,000,000 $WAYRU, pushing the multiplier to 3.0×.

• The Hotspot’s effective score rises from 2 to 6, and now it earns 150 $WAYRU in total rewards.

Breakdown:

• Base rewards (1.0×): 50 $WAYRU → 100% to Operator

• Extra rewards from staking: 150 − 50 = 100 $WAYRU

  • 80 $WAYRU (80%) → Depositor

  • 20 $WAYRU (20%) → Operator

Final result for that epoch:

• Operator: 50 (base) + 20 (bonus) = 70 $WAYRU

• Depositor: 80 $WAYRU

Only the incremental rewards created by the multiplier are shared. The operator’s base rewards are never diluted by staking.

FAQ

What is a Stake NFT?

A Stake NFT represents your staking position in a specific Hotspot. It tracks how much $WAYRU you have deposited into that Hotspot for DePIN Staking.

What does staking actually do?

Staking increases a Hotspot’s reward multiplier (up to 3.0x), which creates additional rewards shared between the depositor and the Hotspot Operator.

What happens if I withdraw my tokens?

When stakers withdraw, the total amount staked on that Hotspot decreases. The multiplier adjusts downward based on the new total stake.

Is there a lock-up period?

Yes, there is a 90-day mandatory lockup period. Deposits are available for withdrawal at any time after the first 90 days; however, multipliers revert to 1X immediately.

Can I withdraw before the lock-up period ends?

No. Withdrawal is only possible after the lock ends.

Can one user boost multiple hotspots?

Yes, each hotspot manages its own deposit. Deposit separately for each hotspot and get different multipliers on each one.

Is staking required to participate in Wayru?

No. It's optional and designed for users who want to enhance network performance while earning additional rewards.

Are Stake NFTs transferable?

Yes. Stake NFTs are on-chain assets and can be transferred between wallets.

Does transferring a Stake NFT transfer rewards?

Yes. Rewards and lockups are tied to the token.

If I transfer my Stake NFT, does the lock reset?

No. The lock follows the token, not your wallet.

How often are rewards distributed?

Once per epoch (every 24 hours), but Claim Day is once per week (every Tuesday).

Do rewards accumulate forever if unclaimed?

Yes. There is no expiration.

What happens if a Hotspot goes offline?

Stakers get no rewards until the Hotspot returns to active status. The rewards are based ONLY on Hotspot activity.
