Description of the staking contracts and how to use them on-chain

Staking is done on-chain and Crypticorn’s dashboard only works as an interface to make it easier to you to interact with the staking contracts on the BNB-chain. Nevertheless, you can at any time just go to BSCScan (see links below) and interact with the smart contract directly without the need to use the Crypticorn UI. So, in case the UI isn’t working for you, it’s offline, there is an error you can always go to BSCScan and do the exact same actions on-chain. Crypticorn’s UI is just easier and nicer to use.

Staking contracts

Crypticorn will offer two different staking contracts.

• Only staking, NO utility usage (not yet integrated into our dashboard, but working already): https://bscscan.com/address/0x0077ba14eF89B23Ecd1b6d67023f72448568d870

• Staking AND utility usage (integrated into our dashboard): https://bscscan.com/address/0x48ff5b08Fa127a96AA32a8D67F89181696D95972

Why are there two different staking contracts?

The majority of people will use the AI Trading Agents. For these you need to stake your AIC tokens first and then after one month or one quarter we are checking how much profit they made you so you can pay your AIC tokens. The AIC tokens are paid directly from the staking contract once you want to withdraw your AIC tokens. That means, the withdrawal and approval process of your AIC tokens could a little bit more time, as our back-end code first needs to check for the fees you need to pay in AIC tokens. The fees are then deducted from your balance, and you receive the remaining AIC tokens plus your staking reward.

Some people really don’t want to use the utility and just want to get AIC token rewards and profit from others that use the utility. For these people we have another very simple staking contract with no special functions like the first one. You can stake and withdraw your AIC tokens at any time – but you won’t be able to use the utility of Crypticorn. If you want to use the utility of Crypticorn you’d need to withdraw your tokens and put them into the other staking contracts that allow you to access our tools or pay for the services.

It’s up to you to decide what you want to do. You have the choice.

Usage 1: dApp Dashboard

The usage of the staking is pretty simple and is required to use the AI Trading Agents or pay for a monthly subscription in AIC tokens.

Steps:

1. Connect your wallet to the account where you hold your AIC tokens on the BNB-chain.

2. Select the pool you want to stake your AIC in. There are three different pools with different lock periods and APY.

3. Enter the amount of AIC tokens you want to stake.

4. Hit the “Stake AIC”-button and approve inside your hot wallet like MetaMask.

For unstaking your tokens you have to follow the same steps and select withdraw.

Usage 2: BSCScan

1. Got to: https://bscscan.com/address/0x0077ba14eF89B23Ecd1b6d67023f72448568d870 (or the other contract)

2. Then go to "Contract" and either use "Read Contract" to get information or "Write Contract" to perform an action.

3. Select "Connect to Web3" and connect your wallet with your AIC tokens on the BNB-chain.

4. Then do the operation you want to perform. Example:

   1. "Write Contract" -> "claimRewards" -> hit the write button, approve transaction and your AIC rewards will be sent from the smart contract to your wallet.

   2. Or use "stake" or "unstake" to stake or unstake your tokens. Enter the amount of AIC tokens (plus add 18 zeros because of the "wei-format"), hit "write", approve the transaction and done.
