Start Staking

This guide walks you through staking your LGM tokens as a delegator to earn rewards.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have:

1,000+ LGM tokens for minimum stake
Web3 wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, etc.)
Referral key or direct invite from a validator

Understanding Staking

When you stake as a delegator:

Your LGM is locked in the ResonanceSystem contract
You earn rewards proportional to your stake
Rewards are subject to proximity distribution (87% to uplines)
You keep 13% of your rewards, minus 10% tax
Unstaking requires a 25,000 block (~7 hour) lock period

Reward Calculation Example

Your Stake: 5,000 LGM
Validator Total Stake: 100,000 LGM
Epoch Reward to Validator: 100 LGM
Your Share: 100 × (5,000 / 100,000) = 5 LGM

After Proximity (13%): 0.65 LGM
After Tax (90%): ~0.585 LGM per epoch

Daily (~432 epochs): ~253 LGM
Annual: ~92,000 LGM (~1,840% of stake)

Actual returns vary based on network conditions, validator performance, and your position in the proximity chain.

Staking Process

Connect Your Wallet

Go to https://app.fene.network
Click "Connect Wallet"
Select your wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, etc.)
Approve the connection

Add Living Mission Network:

Network Name:     Living Mission
RPC URL:          https://rpc.fene.network
Chain ID:         5881
Currency Symbol:  LGM
Explorer:         https://explorer.fene.network

Get Whitelisted

Before staking, you need to be whitelisted by a validator.

Option A: Use Referral Key

If you have a referral key from a validator:

Go to "Join Validator" page
Enter the referral key
Click "Use Key"
Confirm transaction

// Programmatically
const NFT_PASSPORT = "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000001001";
const passport = new ethers.Contract(NFT_PASSPORT, ABI, signer);

const referralKey = "0x..."; // From validator
await passport.useReferralKey(referralKey);

Option B: Request Direct Invite

Contact a validator and ask them to whitelist your address directly.

Option C: Use Promo Code

Some validators offer public promo codes:

Go to validator's page
Enter promo code
Click "Apply"

Choose a Validator

Select a validator to stake with. Consider:

Factor	What to Look For
Commission	Lower = more rewards for you (5-10%)
Total Stake	Higher = larger share of epoch rewards
Uptime	Higher = more consistent rewards
Delegators	Your position affects proximity rewards
Reputation	Established validators are safer

View Validators:

const RESONANCE_SYSTEM = "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000001000";
const contract = new ethers.Contract(RESONANCE_SYSTEM, ABI, provider);

const validators = await contract.getActiveValidators();
for (const va of validators) {
  const info = await contract.getValidatorInfo(va);
  console.log(va, {
    status: info.status,
    totalStake: ethers.formatEther(info.totalStake),
    commission: info.commissionRate / 100 + "%",
    delegators: info.stakerCount.toString()
  });
}

Stake Your LGM

Once whitelisted, stake your tokens:

Using the DApp:

Navigate to the validator's page
Enter stake amount (minimum 1,000 LGM)
Click "Stake"
Confirm transaction in wallet

Using Contract:

const validatorAddress = "0x...";

const tx = await contract.stakeToValidator(validatorAddress, {
  value: ethers.parseEther("1000") // 1,000 LGM
});
await tx.wait();

console.log("Successfully staked!");

Your position in the proximity chain is determined by when you stake. Earlier stakers receive proximity rewards from later stakers.

Monitor Your Stake

Track your staking position and rewards:

View Your Info:

const [status, stakeAmount, pendingRewards, joinedAt, stakerIndex] =
  await contract.getDelegatorInfo(myAddress, validatorAddress);

console.log({
  status: ["NOT_EXIST", "ACTIVE", "UNSTAKING"][status],
  stake: ethers.formatEther(stakeAmount),
  pending: ethers.formatEther(pendingRewards),
  position: stakerIndex.toString()
});

Estimate Rewards:

const [pending, afterProximity, afterTax] =
  await contract.getEstimatedDelegatorReward(myAddress, validatorAddress);

console.log({
  grossPending: ethers.formatEther(pending),
  afterProximity: ethers.formatEther(afterProximity), // 13%
  netReceive: ethers.formatEther(afterTax)            // After 10% tax
});

Managing Your Stake

Claim Rewards

Claim your accumulated rewards:

const tx = await contract.claimDelegatorReward(validatorAddress);
const receipt = await tx.wait();

// Parse event for details
const event = receipt.logs.find(
  log => log.topics[0] === contract.interface.getEventTopic('DelegatorRewardClaimed')
);
const decoded = contract.interface.parseLog(event);
console.log({
  gross: ethers.formatEther(decoded.args.gross),
  net: ethers.formatEther(decoded.args.net),
  tax: ethers.formatEther(decoded.args.tax)
});

When you claim, 87% of your rewards are distributed to the 8 delegators who staked before you (proximity rewards).

Add More Stake

Top up your existing stake:

const tx = await contract.addDelegatorStake(validatorAddress, {
  value: ethers.parseEther("500") // Add 500 LGM
});
await tx.wait();

Adding stake does NOT change your position in the proximity chain.

Unstake

To withdraw your stake:

// Step 1: Initiate unstake
const tx1 = await contract.unstakeDelegator(validatorAddress);
await tx1.wait();
console.log("Unstake initiated. Lock period: 25,000 blocks (~7 hours)");

// Step 2: Wait for lock period...

// Step 3: Withdraw
const tx2 = await contract.withdrawDelegatorStake(validatorAddress);
await tx2.wait();
console.log("Stake withdrawn!");

Warning: Unstaking removes you from the proximity chain. You will:

Stop earning rewards immediately
Lose your position (can't get it back)
Miss proximity rewards from downstream delegators

Exit from Validator

Remove yourself from the whitelist after unstaking:

const passport = new ethers.Contract(NFT_PASSPORT, ABI, signer);
await passport.exitFromValidator(validatorAddress);

Proximity Rewards Explained

The proximity system rewards early stakers:

Staking Order:  D1 → D2 → D3 → D4 → D5 → D6 → D7 → D8 → D9 (you)

When you claim 100 LGM:
├── D8 receives: 5 LGM  (Level 1: 5%)
├── D7 receives: 7 LGM  (Level 2: 7%)
├── D6 receives: 8 LGM  (Level 3: 8%)
├── D5 receives: 10 LGM (Level 4: 10%)
├── D4 receives: 12 LGM (Level 5: 12%)
├── D3 receives: 13 LGM (Level 6: 13%)
├── D2 receives: 15 LGM (Level 7: 15%)
├── D1 receives: 17 LGM (Level 8: 17%)
└── You receive: 13 LGM (13%)
    └── After tax: ~11.7 LGM

Maximizing Proximity Rewards

To receive proximity rewards from others:

Stake Early: Lower position = receive from more people
Stake More: Meet minimum for each level:
- Level 1: 1,000 LGM
- Level 2: 3,000 LGM
- Level 3: 5,000 LGM
- Level 4: 7,000 LGM
- Level 5: 9,000 LGM
- Level 6: 11,000 LGM
- Level 7: 13,000 LGM
- Level 8: 15,000 LGM
Stay Active: Don't unstake (removes you from chain)
Stake Age: Must be staked for 100+ blocks
