# PXL Staking

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:orange;">**Update #1 - September 2022**</mark>\
The PXL Staking Programme has ended as planned, on August 30th 2022.

**57,769,840 DING** were released into circulation via this programme.

As per the rules of the programme, all unclaimed rewards (totalling **10,440,040 DING**) were added to the [**Community DAO Treasury**](https://docs.pxlz.org/ding-token-metrics/distribution/community-dao-treasury).
{% endhint %}

**75,000,000 $DING** will be put into circulation via the **Genesis PXLZ & metaPXLZ** staking program as follows:

* **56,841,567 $DING** will be allocated towards [Genesis PXLZ](https://docs.pxlz.org/the-basics/genesis-pxlz) holders.
* **11,368,314 $DING** will be allocated towards [metaPXLZ](https://docs.pxlz.org/the-basics/metapxlz) holders.
* **6,790,119 $DING** will go into the [Community DAO Treasury](https://docs.pxlz.org/ding-token-metrics/distribution/community-dao-treasury).

{% hint style="info" %}
The PXL Staking program is taking place between May 2nd 2022 - July 31st 2022 on <https://getding.gg>
{% endhint %}

Genesis PXLZ can accrue from 4,985 $DING up to 10,000 $DING / PXL staked whilst metaPXLZ can get from 997 $DING up to 2,000 $DING / metaPXL staked.

Items from both collections will see varying rewards based on each staked token’s rarity.

There is no lock-up period on staking and as such, holders can stake or unstake whenever they wish to.

A penalty applies to those who harvest earlier than the 90 day fixed staking term: 25% of the total accrued $DING / unstaked PXL if unstaking takes place before 60 days of the staking program have passed and 20% between 60 and 90 days.

**Reward calculation formula** (result will be rounded upwards):

$$
f(x)=\frac{1}{3}\times\left(2-BR-NoAR+\frac{1}{NoA}(NoA-AR\_1-AR\_2-\dots -AR\_n)\right)\times ST
$$

Where:

**BR**: Base Rarity

**NoAR**: Number of Attributes Rarity

**AR**: Attribute Rarity

**NoA**: Number of Attributes

**ST** = 10,000 for PXLZ & 2,000 for metaPXLZ

\*Rarity is the probability of a given trait. For example the Dead base probability is this:

$$
\frac{9820}{10,000}=0.982
$$

{% hint style="info" %}
0-attribute, 8-attribute & Legendary PXLZ/metaPXLZ are an exception and will receive 10,000 $DING / 2,000 $DING respectively for a full staking term.
