# Staking (Earn ETH)

### **ETH Payouts to** TITANX **Stakers**

**You get rewarded ETH whenever a "payout cycle" triggers based on your % of the total share pool.**

When you stake your TITANX, you get shares based on the current Share Rate.

This share rate goes up every day. More details in [The Daily Update](https://docs.titanx.win/titanx/titan-x/fair-creation-details-ended/the-daily-update).

Min stake length is 28 days, max stake length is 3500 days & all share bonuses cap at day 2888, see "Shares" section below.

### **The rolling payout cycles run:**

* **Every 8 Days**
  * so day 8, 16, 24, etc..., forever.
* **Every 28 Days**
  * so day 28, 56, 84, etc..., forever.
* **Every 90 Days**
  * so day 90, 180, 270, etc..., forever.
* **Every 369 Days**
  * so day 369, 738, 1107, etc..., forever.
* **Every 888 Days**
  * so day 888, 1776, 2664, etc..., forever.

**And the ETH is distributed like this:**

* 28% gets added to the 8-day rolling payout
* 28% gets added to the 28-day rolling payout
* 18% gets added to the 90-day rolling payout
* 18% gets added to the 369-day rolling payout
* 8% gets added to the 888-day rolling payout

And NEVER stop. These cycles will pay out forever as long as people participate in the protocol and 28% of the ETH flows into the payout cycles for TITANX stakers.

Yes, this also means that, sometimes, 2 payout cycles can trigger on the same day.

### Shares

When you stake your TITANX, you get shares in return; the number of shares you get depends on the current share rate at the time of your stake + the bonuses below:

**LongerPaysMore** bonus - the longer you stake for, the more shares you get, up to a +350% bonus at day 2888, after 2888 day stake length, the bonus stays capped at +350% but you can stake up to 3500 days to earn as much yield as possible for as long as possible as shares only get more expensive & much harder to get over time.

**BiggerPaysMore** bonus - the more TITANX you stake in a single stake, you get a up to 8% extra bonus on your shares, capped at 100B TITANX.

The number of shares you have compared to everyone else determines your % of the ETH payouts.

For example: if you have 1% of all shares, you get 1% of all the payout cycles triggered during your staking period, etc...

### Penalties

You pick a date for your stake to end when you start your stake, try to end your stake on that day.

If you're unable to on that specific day, you have a 7-day grace period to end your stake in which no penalties will get applied.

Stakes are not allowed to be ended before 50% maturity.

If stake ended after 50% maturity

* Lose -50% of TITAN in staked, gets sent to the dead address (burned).
* You get 50% of TITAN staked back.

If stake not ended for 1 week (grace period) after end date, lose 1% of TITAN per day until 99% lost after 100 days (calculated at end of stake)
