Key Features
- Decentralized Security: Provides a trustless environment for staking OKT tokens
- Liquid Assets: Users receive stOKT tokens representing their staked position
- DeFi Integration: Enables participation in on-chain financial activities with staked assets
How OKT Liquid Staking Works
When users stake OKT tokens through this platform, they immediately receive stOKT tokens. The system automatically:
- Calculates the stOKT/OKT ratio based on current market conditions
- Issues the corresponding amount of stOKT to the user's wallet
- Delegates the OKT tokens to validators within the OKTC network
Understanding stOKT Tokens
stOKT is a KIP-20 standard token that:
- Represents your share of the total staked OKT pool
- Has immutable properties on the blockchain
- Changes in value based on staking rewards accumulation
Unstaking Process and Timeline
The OKTC network follows a strict 14-day unstaking cycle for all tokens. When processing unstake requests:
- Batches are processed every 2 days
- Actual processing time ranges between 14-15 days
- No rewards accumulate during the unstaking period

NFT Certificate System
Upon successful unstaking initiation, users receive an NFT certificate:

Earning Mechanism
Staked earnings manifest through:
- The increasing OKT equivalent value of your stOKT holdings
- Compound interest effect where earnings generate additional earnings
Reward Calculation Example
Initial Stake:
- Exchange rate: 1 OKT = 0.99 stOKT
- Stake: 1,000 OKT → Receives 990 stOKT
Later Withdrawal:
- New exchange rate: 1 OKT = 0.98 stOKT
- 990 stOKT → 1,010.2 OKT
- Net earnings: 10.2 OKT
This demonstrates how the changing exchange rate reflects accumulated rewards.
