# Staking One of these services is the opportunity for users to earn passive income by staking their tokens in three different staking pools: flexible staking, locked staking, and pro wallet staking.

{% tabs %} {% tab title="Flexible" %}

Total Pool Size	Daily Distribution	Staking Deposit Limit	APR (%)
750.000.000	277.777	Unlimited	Flexible

Individuals who have invested in the contract can receive a share from the daily reward pool based on the total value of the staked ratio of the VSTR amount they have invested. Rewards are distributed to participants every 24 hours, and those who leave the contract can withdraw both their principal balance and rewards without any penalties. For example, let's assume the total amount of VSTR invested in the contract is 10 million, and 500,000 belongs to you. Assuming your share in the pool is 5%, your daily reward share from the pool, based on 277,777, would be 13,888.85. If the next day your staked amount remains the same but the total VSTR amount in the pool increases to 20 million, your entitlement from the pool would be reduced by half. As a result, early participants in the pool can start earning a higher APR. After a certain period, more predictable ratios will begin to form. The distribution of the entire initially allocated 750 million total flexible staking pool on the con- tract will be spread over approximately 7.5 years. With additions to the contract, this period can be extended, ensuring sustainability. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Locked" %}

Total Pool Size
750.000.000

This section includes four different staking pools with different APR rates within four different time periods. Monthly distributions for each pool are 1,875,000 tokens. However, the APRs corresponding to the deposited amounts based on the contract's term are reflected to wallets via the contract at the end of the term along with the principal. The contract cannot be canceled until the end of the term. Below are the details for each pool regarding the term, reward pool, APR rates, maximum participation, and maximum token amount per participant:

Duration	Reward Pool Size	Yield	Max Cap Per Participant	Total Cap.
1 Month	1.875.000	4%	500.000	46.875.000
3 Month	5.625.000	8%	750.000	70.312.000
6 Month	11.250.000	12%	1.000.000	93.750.000
12 Month	22.500.000	16%	2.000.000	140.625.000

According to the statistics above, assuming that each category will reopen at the end of the year, the annual total distribution will be 90,000,000 (90 million) VSTR. Distributing the total 750 million tokens specified in the contract will take approximately 8.5 years if fully distributed at maximum stake in all these pools. In this case, 351,562,500 VSTR tokens will be held locked from circulating tokens. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Pro Wallet" %}

Total Pool Size	Daily Reward Distribution	Mandatory Amount	Upper Limit
1.000.000.000	500.000	2.000.000	1

This section is created for individuals who wish to have 200 voting power in the DAO governance model, create proposals, and receive a share of profits from the profits of institutions associated with the Vestra DAO Organization by locking 2 million VSTR tokens in the contract. These wallets can also benefit from additional rights by gaining "Pro Wallet" status. A user creating a Pro Wallet will commit to locking 2 million VSTR tokens in the contract for a period of 2 years. If they wish to leave the contract at an earlier date, 20% of this amount (400,000) will be deducted as a penalty. The deducted amount will be added to the contract pool. All Pro Wallets in the contract will equally share 500,000 VSTR tokens from the daily reward pool every 24 hours. For example, if there are 200 wallets in the contract, the daily reward per wallet will be 2,500 VSTR. The reward amount will vary based on the total locked wallet count. The pool will be equally distributed. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Regular Wallet" %} This section does not have a dedicated stake return. It is created for wallets wishing to have 1 voting power in DAO votes, requiring them to deposit 10,000 VSTR tokens into the contract. These wallets can earn returns based on the percentage allocated to them from the profits arising from the activities of all applications associated with the Vestra DAO organization and profit-sharing pools with the community. The 10,000 VSTR tokens deposited into the contract will be sent to the automatic burning mechanism, reducing the circulation supply. Wallet addresses with "Regular Wallet" status will have 1 voting power indefinitely. The amount sent to burn cannot be reclaimed. Additionally, wallet addresses with Regular Wallet status will have unrestricted access to many sections with limited access on all platforms associated with Vestra, including Brolyz. {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} Additionally, Pro Wallet holders can propose offers for project developments and have 200 voting power in governance. Each pool has its own liquidity, allowing wallet holders to join any or all of these pools according to specific rules. The three staking methods aim to reward contributors to the ecosystem by reducing selling pressures on token prices. Moreover, users who wish to have 1 voting power in the DAO governance model can stake 10,000 VSTR, but they won't earn staking rewards. However, a certain percentage of the net profit in the quarterly income statement resulting from the activities of organizations associated with VSTR can be shared with stakeholders from the pool, up to 5%, as detailed in the "DAO Mechanism" section. The total amount allocated to all Staking Pools is equivalent to 2.5 billion VSTR, which represents 5% of the maximum supply. Users will continue to receive regular rewards at a fixed rate over the initial amount in this contract for eight years. Every institution associated with Vestra DAO is obligated to transfer a certain percentage of their earned profits to the staking contracts to feed these pools. This ensures that the staking contracts will be sustained in a viable structure for many years.
