How do I participate in X Stake event?
On the App
Go to the Web3 page > Tap Boost > select X Stake
On the Web
Go to the Web3 page > Boost > X Stake
During the event, the system takes a daily snapshot of your Boost Volume and Boost Balance. If you’re eligible, you can select the Join button on the event page and stake the required tokens on X Layer to participate in the event. Your rewards will be calculated from the start of your participation.
During the event period, if you don't meet the participation requirements, you can increase your Boost volume and Boost balance to qualify for the event on the following day. Requirements are shown on the event details page, and may vary across different events.
Note:
You must select Join to be eligible for staking interests.
Both staking and redeeming assets will incur X Layer network fees.
What is the Bonus Multiplier?
Bonus multiplier increases your staked amount and earnings, and is calculated from your Boost volume at a specific reference time. The higher your Boost volume, the higher your bonus multiplier.
For example, only users A and B participated in the event:
User A staked 1,000 USDT with a bonus multiplier of 1.5x. Weighted staked amount: 1,000 × 1.5 = 1,500 USDT;
User B staked 1,500 USDT with a bonus multiplier of 1.0x. Weighted staked amount: 1,500 × 1.0 = 1,500 USDT;
Since both users have the same weighted staked amount, they each receive 50% of the reward pool.
Each X Stake event page indicates the specific reference time and provides a conversion table to show the relationship between your Boost volume and bonus multiplier. Your multiplier won’t fall below 1x after you join, so your stake always qualifies for rewards.
How is the APR calculated?
The estimated APR is updated every hour based on the total staking amount and Bonus Multipliers of all participants in the previous hour.
Your hourly reward = Hourly reward tokens × Your staking amount in the previous hour × Your Bonus Multiplier ÷ Total weighted staking amount of all users
Your hourly APR = (Your hourly reward × Reward token price) ÷ (Your average hourly staking amount × Staked asset price) × 24 × 365
Note: the APR displayed on the page is for reference only. Actual returns may vary depending on market conditions and final reward distribution.
How is my hourly staking amount calculated?
OKX Wallet takes 3 random snapshots of your staked assets every hour and uses the average of those 3 snapshots as your staking amount for that hour. If your staking amount exceeds the event cap, your rewards will be calculated based on the cap.
Examples:
User A stakes 1,000 USDT at 4:10 PM (UTC), and the amount stays the same across all 3 snapshots. Their staking amount for the 4–5 PM window is recorded as 1,000 USDT.
User B stakes 2,000 USDT at 4:50 PM (UTC), but all 3 snapshots for the 4–5 PM window have already been taken. Their staking amount for that window is recorded as 0 USDT.
User C stakes 1,000 USDT at 4:10 PM (UTC) and is captured in 1 snapshot, then stakes an additional 1,500 USDT at 4:30 PM (UTC+8) and is captured in 2 more snapshots. Their staking amount = (1,000 + 2,500 + 2,500) ÷ 3 = 2,000 USDT.
Note: the times above are examples only and do not reflect actual event rules. Bonus multiplier doesn’t affect your snapshot amount or staking limit. It only applies to reward distribution.
When are rewards distributed?
The system calculates rewards at the end of each hour and distributes them within the following hour. There may be a short delay in reward calculation.
Example: Rewards calculated for the 15:00–16:00 (UTC) window will be distributed between 16:00–17:00 (UTC).
How do I claim my rewards?
During the claiming period, go to the event page and tap Claim. You may choose not to claim repeatedly, as your rewards accumulate automatically and can be claimed all at once before the claim period ends.
How do I redeem my staked tokens?
You can redeem your staked tokens at any time by tapping the Unstake button. A small network fee applies.
Note: only staked assets captured in the snapshot are eligible for rewards.
If I don't unstake after an event ends, will my tokens automatically earn rewards in future events?
Your staked tokens remain in the staking protocol after the event ends. However, to participate in a future event and earn its rewards, you'll need to go to the new event page and manually tap Join button— only then will your staking amount count toward that event's reward calculation.
