What is Crypto Staking ?

Crypto staking involves “locking up” a portion of your cryptocurrency for a period of time as a way of contributing to a blockchain network. In exchange, stakers can earn rewards, typically in the form of additional tokens or other benefits.

Crypto staking is similar to depositing money in a bank, in that an investor locks up their assets, and in exchange, earns coin rewards.

How to Start Before Staking ?

One of the first tasks you will want to do on Metamask is to install a wallet (or “vault” as Metamask calls it) to hold your cryptocurrencies. To do this, follow the instructions below.

1. You need to install Metamask Wallet

The first way you can download the wallet from MetaMask — download:

Or you can download it from Google Extensions:

Installing Metamask Wallet

Step 1. Click on the Metamask logo in the upper right-hand corner of your Google Chrome browser.

Step 2. Read and agree to the terms and conditions. You may have to agree to 2 to 3 pages worth of terms.

Step 3. Enter a password and click “Create” to create your wallet.

Step 4. You will see a set of 12 “seed words” for your vault. Click “Save Seed Words as File” and copy the “MetaMask Seed Words” file that is downloaded to a safe place. You will need it to access your vault.

Step 5. Click “I’ve Copied It Somewhere Safe” once your seed words file has been secured. You’ll be taken into your Metamask wallet!

How to Receive Coins for Staking ?

Step 1. Open Metamask and choose BSC Testnet.

If you don’t see BSC Network you need to add it to your Metamask wallet!

Click on “Add network” and add all fields as seen in the screen below:

Step 2. Copy your Ethereum address from Metamask

Step 3. Click on the BNB faucet and claim your test BNB. Enter your Metamask wallet and click on “Give me BNB”

Step 4. Check your BNB wallet in Metamask to be sure that you have at least one $BNB token.

Get/Mint test $LACE Token

Staking platform description

Crypto staking is a way for cryptocurrency investors to passively generate rewards or interest for owning crypto. If you have crypto assets and want to increase your holdings, staking could be one strategy that will allow you to do so.

Currently, we have 3 different pools for staking:

Guaranteed APY Staking
Unlimited Staking
LP Staking

Pool #1: Guaranteed APY Staking

This option is a limited(capped at 2 million) pool $LACE/$LACE(stake/earn) with a fixed reward, staked period 30 days, locked period — 30 days.

$LACE Balance: How many $LACE tokens you have on your Metamask wallet.

Stake: The button to start staking your $LACE tokens in Guaranteed APY Staking pool.

$LACE Staked: How many tokens you have staked in the pool.

Your reward: What have you already earned?

Pool Size: How many tokens can be staked in the pool.

APY: The total amount of interest you earn on a deposit account over one year, assuming you do not add or withdraw funds for the entire year.

Total Staked: How many $LACE tokens are already staked in the pool.

Beginning: The date when was the start of your staking in this pool

Endings: The date when staking will be over (for Guaranteed APY Staking pool 30 days)
