Why Staking?

Asset distribution based on token holdings is most effective when the token owners are confirmed as holding their tokens. There are many instances where a token owner might transfer tokens temporarily to a different wallet. In such cases, the token owner might be surprised not to receive their share of an asset distribution.

In order to best ensure that token owners are in fact holding their tokens at the time of distribution and that assets will be distributed to their intended recipients, Decent uses a staking model. With this strategy, token owners receive their share of distributed assets based on staked token holdings.

You can specify a length of time that tokens must be staked before they can be unstaked and once that time has elapsed, tokens can be unstaked and transferred immediately.
