Pools

Stake VAN, earn VAN & other tokens!

VanSwap now offers one $VAN Pool with two staking options: flexible staking or fixed-term staking.

What’s the difference between “Flexible” and “Fixed-Term” staking?

With both, you can simply stake your $VAN tokens to earn more $VAN tokens or other tokens with no deposit fees—both staking options auto-compound $VAN rewards for you. Flexible staking allows users to stake $VAN and earn rewards with the ability to unstake whenever they please. Fixed-term staking allows users to maximise their yield and earn even more $VAN by locking their staked $VAN for a period of time they choose, earning a linearly boosted APY compared to flexible staking.

Flexible staking and fixed-term staking are both part of the same pool to allow users easy migration between the two staking options. Because of this, you can only choose one staking option at a time. More details about the differences are below.

Flexible Staking

Stake your $VAN and forget about it! The $VAN you stake in this Pool will be automatically compounded (reinvested) for you, minus a small fee.

If you have $VAN staked in flexible staking

• ✅ Add more $VAN to flexible staking

• ✅ Harvest rewards any time

• ✅ Withdraw any time (fees apply for the first 72 hours, see below)

• ✅ Convert all staked $VAN in flexible to fixed-term staking

• ❌ Add $VAN to fixed-term staking if you have any $VAB in flexible staking

• ❌ Convert part of the staked $VAN in flexible to fixed-term staking

Unstaking fee

• 0.1%
 if you unstake (withdraw) within 72 hours.

• Only applies within 3 days of manually staking.

• After 3 days, you can unstake with no fee.

• The 3-day timer resets every time you manually stake more $VAN in the pool.

• This fee only applies to manual unstaking: it does not apply to automatic compounding.

Performance fee

• 2%, subtracted automatically from each yield harvest.

• For example, if the harvest were 1 $VAN, then 0.02 $VAN would be subtracted as the performance fee.

Fixed-Term Staking

Stake your $VAN for a fixed amount of time to maximise yields and receive additional benefits! The staked $VAN will be automatically compounded during the entire lock duration.

• No performance fees

• The longer you lock, the higher the boost applied to the yield! Always offering a higher APY compared to flexible staking!

• $VAN rewards are auto-compounded and will unlock, along with your staked $VAN, when your lock duration expires

• Once staked in fixed-term staking, you cannot withdraw until the end of your lock duration.

Pool burn

If the lock-up is not released in time after the expiration of the lock-up period, or if your staked $VAN is not transferred to the flexible mode, your proceeds will burn linearly within 90 days after one week.

This is a good thing for $VAN holders because it reduces the overall amount of $VAN tokens in existence, which helps reduce inflation.

If you have $VAN locked in fixed-term staking

• ✅ Add more $VAN to lock

• ✅ Extend lock period

• ❌ Add $VAN to flexible staking

• ❌ Harvest rewards

• ❌ Withdraw before locked term ends
