# 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**](/ding-token-metrics/distribution/community-dao-treasury.md).
{% 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](/the-basics/genesis-pxlz.md) holders.
* **11,368,314 $DING** will be allocated towards [metaPXLZ](/the-basics/metapxlz.md) holders.
* **6,790,119 $DING** will go into the [Community DAO Treasury](/ding-token-metrics/distribution/community-dao-treasury.md).

{% 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pxlz.org/ding-token-metrics/distribution/pxl-staking.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
