Zentachain Staking Platform - How to Stake Guide
Overview
Stake your CHAIN tokens and earn rewards while supporting the Zentachain network. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the staking process on the Zentachain Staking Platform.
Getting Started
1. Access the Staking Platform
Visit the official Zentachain Staking Platform:
2. Connect Your Wallet
Connect your Web3 wallet (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, etc.)
Ensure your wallet contains CHAIN tokens
Make sure you're connected to the correct network
3. Understanding Pool Information
Before staking, review each pool's details:
APR (Annual Percentage Rate): The yearly reward rate
Minimum Stake Amount: The minimum CHAIN tokens required to participate
Maximum Stake Per User: Individual staking limit (if enabled)
Pool Size: Total capacity of the pool
Claim Time Lock: Minimum time between reward claims
Unstake Time Lock: Minimum time tokens must remain staked before unstaking
Staking Process
Method 1: Standard Staking
Choose a Staking Pool
Browse available pools and their reward rates
Check pool status (active/paused)
Review lock-up periods and terms
Enter Stake Amount
Specify the amount of CHAIN tokens to stake
Ensure amount meets minimum requirements
Verify you don't exceed maximum limits (if applicable)
Approve Token Spending
Approve the contract to spend your CHAIN tokens
This requires a separate transaction
Confirm Staking Transaction
Review transaction details and gas fees
Confirm the staking transaction in your wallet
Method 2: Staking with Permit (Recommended)
For supported wallets and tokens
One-Transaction Staking
Select your pool and enter stake amount
Use the "Stake with Permit" option
Sign the permit message and staking transaction together
This saves gas by combining approval and staking in one step
