Dear Geeq Community Members,
We are happy to have a new Geeq staking announcement: After the success of the last five rounds we have decided to open up 2 new pools. We will continue to bring you a webstaking options and are bringing back the Liquidity staking pool!

We will offer a new Geeq Staking 8 pool and a Geeq LP Staking pool. Due to the fact we have Geeq Staking 6 closing on March 20, 2022 and Geeq Staking 7 closing on April 4, 2022, we have decided to start both new pools on March 20, 2022 at 4 pm UTC with an extended contribution date.

Please notice the timing is exactly the same time that Geeq Staking 6 reaches full maturity.

The new staking pool and the LP staking pool will have a 21 day contribution period to allow all Geeq web-stakers to enter the new staking pools and not miss out.

General Overview

Geeq Staking can be likened to a savings account — it offers constant time-based returns based on the duration of your staking commitment. In other words, the longer you stake, the higher the rewards.

First, it is pool based. Meaning it is a group activity with multiple contributors for each staking contract.

Second, it is flexible. Meaning you have the option to withdraw early, stake until full maturity, or withdraw somewhere in between. But be warned: leaving early comes at a cost.

Third, it is all about liquidity. Meaning you have the option to stake your UNI-LP tokens for the Geeq/ETH pair, thus earning both uniswap fees + a great APY.

There will be 2 staking pools: Geeq Staking 8 and Geeq LP Staking. The terms of each staking pool (rewards, lengths, minimum contribution, etc.) are detailed below.

On Sunday, March 20th at 4 pm UTC, Geeq will update its Staking page. All information regarding the Token, including staking, is in the top navigation of the website.

Simply click on the contract that interests you to see its details. Then connect your ERC-20 Web 3 wallet to the contract, deposit your $GEEQ into the pool, and stake until you wish to withdraw. When you wish to withdraw, have your principal and rewards sent back to your wallet. Easy!

Requirements for Staking

Here are the requirements:

Metamask: GEEQ Staking requires an ERC-20 wallet extension such as Metamask, or a compatible Web 3 wallet which will automatically link to our staking contracts. This is the wallet address you will contribute from and where your earned rewards will be distributed upon withdrawal.

Once the staking pools are opened, a progress bar will be updated daily to show how much the contract has been filled. If you wish to know the exact percentage, please click through to the contract.

Full Maturity

Stake until full maturity to receive maximum rewards. Maturity will have a date and time assigned at which time full rewards will be available for withdrawal, so you will know exactly when you can withdraw to receive the maximum rewards.

Early Withdrawal

GEEQ Staking offers an early withdrawal option for flexibility. Early withdrawal will have a date and time assigned so you will know exactly when you can withdraw early.

Although rewards are lower for early withdrawal, they increase linearly every day — past the early withdrawal date right up until full maturity.

In other words, if you withdraw after the early withdrawal date and closer to full maturity, rewards will be higher, but still less than full maturity.

Here are the details of the next round of Geeq Staking, which opens Sunday March 20th at 4:00 pm UTC.
