Staking FAQ

Has the staking contract been audited?

Yes. The newest staking contract went through two independent audits from Zellic and Hashlock, both of which found no significant issues with the contract. You can find the audits reports on our Contract Audits page.

Can I still use my PDT for voting in ParagonsDAO’s governance if it’s staked?

Yes. Snapshot (our voting platform) will recognize if you’ve staked PDT and allow you to vote with your total staked and unstaked PDT.

Where can I get PDT on Base?

You can get PDT on Aerodrome.

Alternatively, you can still buy PDT on Ethereum Mainnet through Uniswap or Cowswap to bridge it to Base. However, the gas fees and transaction costs will be significantly higher compared to purchasing on Base via Aerodrome.

What is a reward epoch?

A reward epoch is a period of time in which ParagonsDAO can earn rewardsto fund the staking reward pools and pay rewards to stakers. You can claim rewards during the epoch, where stakers will earn a share of the total reward pool based on the amount of PDT staked and how long they staked during the epoch. Each reward epoch is 30 days in length.

Are all reward epochs the same length?

Starting with Epoch 1, each epoch is designed to be 30 days long. Epoch length could be changed through a successful governance proposal.

Can I unstake my PDT at any time?

Yes, you can unstake your PDT at any time.

Can I unstake a portion of my staked amount?

Yes, you can unstake a portion of your staked amount. You can toggle if you would like to unstake 25%, 50% of your staked PDT. Alternatively, you can also specify the exact amount of PDT you want to unstake.

Can I claim staking rewards any time?

You can claim earned staking rewards from past epochs at any time.

However, during an epoch, your rewards are not claimable. You can only claim the current epoch’s rewards after the epoch ends. Your rewards are calculated based on the amount of PDT you’ve staked relative to the total PDT staked and the duration of your staking during the epoch.

What happens if I don’t claim my rewards?

If an earned reward is not claimed within 2 years of earning it, the rewards will expire and will be recycled into future reward epochs for all stakers.

What is $PROMPT?

$PROMPT is the native token of Wayfinder. PROMPT can be earned through caching PRIME—which ParagonsDAO has done in large supply.
