On September 10, 2024, AgentLayer, a groundbreaking decentralized artificial intelligence blockchain network, ushered in an important milestone. AgentLayer's staking function was officially launched, bringing new opportunities and income channels to investors. By staking AGENT tokens and APGN node income, participants will have the opportunity to obtain rich returns. AgentLayer has created a decentralized platform designed for autonomous AI Agent collaboration with an innovative technical model. Its core products include AgentOS, AgentLink and AgentFi, etc. Through the synergy of these components, it provides powerful operation support for AI Agent.
Staking income is closely related to multiple factors, including the number of AGENTs staked, the length of staking, and whether APGN node income is staked. For example, as the staking time increases, users can obtain a higher staking time gain coefficient, providing greater incentives for long-term investors. For users who hold APGN, the staking plan brings unique advantages. APGN nodes will not only continue to receive regular AGENT rewards, but also receive additional staking income. The dual income mechanism greatly improves the overall investment income. At the same time, APGN daily income will be automatically added to the staked principal to increase the position weight.
Before TGE, APGN users can stake the income generated by the node. The specific steps include clicking Staking on the official website, selecting APGN Yields as the Stake source, selecting the node to be staked and determining the staking period (1, 3 or 6 months), and finally clicking Stake to stake. It should be noted that token staking in the wallet is not supported before TGE, and the minimum staking period is 1 month, and no withdrawal is involved. You can also go to the Dashboard → Nodes page on the APGN website, click Stake on the corresponding Node, and you will be redirected to the above Staking and select the corresponding node.
After AgentLayer's upcoming TGE, the staking method will be different, and only tokens in the wallet will be supported for staking. After the user clicks Staking on the official website, the Stake page will display the number of tokens that can be staked in the current connected wallet and the number of tokens that the user has already staked. Next, the user enters the number of tokens to be staked in the staking input box and selects the staking duration (1, 3 or 6 months). The corresponding dynamic APR will be displayed at this time. When clicking Stake to stake, the user needs to confirm the transaction in the wallet.
In addition, there is also a clear mechanism for the distribution of rewards. The rewards are distributed based on the proportional weight of each staking user in the system. Daily income = (personal staking weight / total staking weight) × daily reward pool. The daily reward pool allocates 10,000 AGENT to staking users every day for two years, and the minimum amount of staking is 10 AGENT. As AgentLayer TGE approaches, investors are preparing for this new investment opportunity with great anticipation.
FAQs about AgentLayer staking:
1. What is AGENT staking?
AGENT staking is a mechanism provided by AgentLayer for AGENT token holders, where participants can earn income by staking AGENT tokens and (optionally) APGN node income. The income is related to factors such as the number of AGENTs staked, the length of time staked, and the APGN gain coefficient. The minimum amount staked is 10 AGENT.
2. What are the differences between staking before and after TGE?
Before TGE, APGN users can stake the income generated by the node. Staking of tokens in the wallet is not supported. The minimum staking period is 1 month, and no withdrawal is involved. After TGE, only tokens in the wallet can be staked. The staking period can be 1, 3 or 6 months. When staking, users need to confirm the transaction in the wallet. After the staking period ends and the vesting period has passed, withdrawals can be made.
3. How to stake before TGE?
Before TGE, APGN users can perform the following operations to stake: Click Staking on the official website, select APGN Yields as the Stake source, if the user has an APGN node, the number of staking tokens and the number of staked tokens will be displayed, select the node to be staked in the staking input box, select the staking period (1, 3 or 6 months), the corresponding dynamic APR will be displayed, and finally click Stake to stake. Before TGE, token staking in wallets is not supported, and the minimum staking period is 1 month, and no withdrawal is involved.
4. How to stake after TGE?
After TGE, only tokens in the wallet can be staked. Click Staking on the official website. The Stake page will display the number of tokens that can be staked and the number of tokens that have been staked in the currently connected wallet. Enter the number of tokens to be staked in the staking input box, select the staking duration (1, 3 or 6 months), and the corresponding dynamic APR will be displayed. Click Stake to stake. At this time, the user needs to confirm the transaction in a wallet such as MetaMask.
5. When does the AGENT staking cycle start and end?
Before TGE, it starts when the staking operation is performed and ends at the selected staking duration; after TGE, it also starts when the staking operation is performed and ends according to the selected 1, 3 or 6 months duration.
6. When does my staking end? When can I withdraw the staked tokens?
Before TGE, there is no withdrawal after the staking period ends, because the minimum staking period is 1 month; after TGE, the staked tokens and income can be withdrawn after the staking period ends and after a 3-day vesting period.
7. How are rewards distributed?
Rewards are distributed based on the proportional weight of each staker in the system. Daily income = (individual staking weight / total staking weight) × daily reward pool. The daily reward pool allocates 10,000 AGENT to the staker every day for two years.
8. When can I claim the rewards?
After TGE, you can view the income in the dashboard on the second day of staking (T+1). Rewards can be withdrawn after the vesting period ends.
9. How do the amount and duration of staking affect rewards?
The more staking is and the longer the duration is, the higher the staking weight is, and the higher the reward ratio is. At the same time, as the staking duration increases, the staking duration gain coefficient will also increase, further increasing the income.
10. How does the reward calculation work in practice?
First, calculate the personal staking weight, weight = number of staking AGENTs × staking duration gain coefficient × (1 + APGN gain coefficient). Then calculate the daily income according to the daily income formula Daily income = (personal staking weight / total staking weight) × daily reward pool.
11. How can I increase my reward power to get more weekly rewards?
You can increase the stake weight by increasing the number of staked AGENTs, extending the stake duration, and staking APGN node income, thereby increasing the reward power.
12. How is the stake duration gain coefficient determined?
It is determined by dividing the total number of staked months by 6. There are different gain coefficients for different stake duration intervals, such as Stake 0 months - 6 months (not included): Stake duration gain = 6; Stake 6 months - 12 months (not included): Stake duration gain = 7, etc.
13. How long is the income vesting period?
The income vesting period is 3 days. After the staking period ends, the income enters the 3-day vesting period, and the income can be withdrawn after the vesting period ends.
14. Is the pledge effective immediately? When will the income be calculated?
Staking takes effect immediately, but the income calculation starts from the next day. For example, if the staking is completed today, the income will be calculated from tomorrow.
15. How to view the staking and income records?
Click Staking on the official website and select History. The page will list all the staking, withdrawal and income distribution records.
16. Can the staking duration be changed after staking?
Once the staking pool is started, it will be locked in the selected time and the staking duration cannot be changed.
17. If I need funds during the staking period, can I withdraw them in advance?
You cannot withdraw in advance during the lock-up period and vesting period. You can only redeem AGENT and APGN nodes and receive rewards after the staking period ends and the vesting period has passed.
18. Can the staked AGENT tokens be used for other transactions during the staking period?
During the staking period, AGENT tokens are locked and cannot be used for other transactions.
