# Staking Staking in Clash of Coins is designed to support ecosystem stability and reward participants who actively contribute to it. ### **How Staking Rewards Work** Staking rewards are divided into two parts: 1. **Dynamic APY (Annual Percentage Yield)**: * The APY rate changes based on three factors: the size of your stake, the duration of your staking period, and the total amount of tokens staked in the pool. * The larger your stake and the longer you keep it locked, the higher your potential rewards. 2. **Activity Points**: * Activity Points are generated based on the size and duration of your stake. * These points give players the opportunity to receive token rewards at the end of each season. ### **Unstaking Process and Penalties** If you decide to unstake your tokens, please note that there is a **3-day cooldown period** for security purposes. * To start the process, initiate the unstake request. After the cooldown, manually withdraw your tokens. * Both actions require your confirmation through your wallet. **Early Unstaking Penalties** If you withdraw your stake before the end of the chosen lock period, your APY earnings will be reduced: * **75% penalty** if you unstake after half of the staking period. * **100% penalty** if you unstake before reaching half of the staking period. * The principal (staked amount) is returned in full, and the penalty only affects your earned APY rewards. *** ### Activity Points Distribution * **Minimum Stake for Points**: Points are awarded only if you stake at least **10,000 $OWB**. * **Earning Points**: Points start accumulating from the moment you stake, but you receive the first batch after the first full month. * **Monthly Payout**: After the initial month, points are credited on a monthly basis.\ Once points are credited to your balance, they remain yours regardless of when you decide to unstake. * **Pending Points for the Current Month**: * Unstaking before the **middle of the month** results in losing **100% of the points** for that month. * Unstaking after the **middle of the month** results in a **75% reduction** of the month’s points. * **Passive Income after Lock Period**: * If you continue staking after the initial lock period ends, your stake will automatically generate passive income without requiring any additional actions. *** ### How to Stake Your OWB Tokens 1.
