# FAQ

<details>

<summary><strong>Q: What is stCHR?</strong></summary>

**A:** stCHR is a **Liquid Staking Token (LST)** created by **UdonFi**.\
When you stake your CHR through UdonFi, you receive **stCHR** — a token that represents your staked CHR and continuously accrues staking rewards. You can use stCHR in DeFi activities (such as supplying or farming) while still earning staking yield.

<summary><strong>Q: How is staking via UdonFi different from staking directly on Chromia Vault?</strong></summary>

**A:** UdonFi adds liquidity to your staked CHR — giving you both staking rewards **and** the ability to use your capital elsewhere.

| Feature        |   Chromia Vault Staking |         UdonFi Liquid Staking |
| -------------- | ----------------------: | ----------------------------: |
| Token received |       None (locked CHR) |          stCHR (liquid token) |
| Liquidity      |      Locked for 14 days |                 Freely usable |
| Rewards        | 3% APR + validator fees | Auto-reflected in stCHR value |
| Unstaking      |            14-day delay |              Same 14-day rule |
| Use in DeFi    |                    ❌ No |   ✅ Yes, stCHR usable in DeFi |

<summary><strong>Q: What happens when I stake my CHR on UdonFi?</strong></summary>

StepYour CHR is transferred to a dedicated staking account that UdonFi creates for you on the Chromia Economy Chain.StepThat account stakes your CHR on your behalf.StepYou receive stCHR in your wallet — representing your staked CHR.StepRewards in CHR are automatically distributed daily to that staking account.You can track this account on the Chromia Wallet or Account UI, though it’s non-accessible (for security reasons).

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Q: How much can I earn?</strong></summary>

**A:** Stakers earn approximately **3% APR** in native CHR, **plus a share of network fees** from the validator they delegate to.\
The total reward rate varies depending on:

* Network size and validator occupancy
* Cluster performance
* Your share of total delegated CHR

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Q: Are there any fees?</strong></summary>

**A:** Yes — UdonFi applies a small operational fee:

* **Staking fee:** 0.3% of the staked CHR amount\
  Example: Stake 100 CHR → receive 99.7 stCHR (0.3 CHR used as fee).
* **Unstaking fee:** 0.3% of the redeemed CHR (after the 14-day unstaking period).

These fees support validator operations and protocol maintenance.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Q: How long does unstaking take?</strong></summary>

**A:** Chromia’s native network requires a **14-day unstaking period**. During this time:

* Your CHR is locked and not earning rewards.
* After 14 days, your CHR is automatically released to your wallet.

UdonFi follows the same unstaking rule as the Chromia Vault.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Q: Is stCHR always equal to 1 CHR?</strong></summary>

**A:** Not exactly. The value of stCHR **gradually increases** compared to CHR as staking rewards accumulate. Over time, **1 stCHR = 1.x CHR**, reflecting the rewards earned by your staked CHR.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Q: How do I view my rewards?</strong></summary>

**A:** Go to: <https://udon-frontend-seven.vercel.app/staking?tab=reward>

You’ll see:

* **Upcoming Rewards** – Next daily rewards to be distributed.
* **Accumulated Rewards** – Total CHR earned.
* **Claim History** – Historical reward distribution.

Rewards are **automatically sent** to your staking account — no manual claiming is required.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Q: Can I access the staking account UdonFi created for me?</strong></summary>

**A:** No. The staking account is **non-custodial and programmatically managed** by UdonFi to stake on your behalf. You can view it on the **Chromia Economy Chain Explorer**, but you **cannot transfer or withdraw** directly from it. This ensures transparency and security.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Q: Can I use stCHR in other DeFi protocols?</strong></summary>

**A:** Yes. stCHR is a **Liquid Staking Token** that can be integrated into other DeFi applications — such as lending, borrowing, or liquidity pools. As the UdonFi ecosystem grows, more integrations will become available.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Q: Can I earn extra rewards for staking on UdonFi?</strong></summary>

**A:** No, UdonFi does **not** currently offer additional incentive rewards for staking. Your yield comes solely from Chromia’s native staking rewards and validator fee sharing.
