# NFT Staking

## NFT Staking Mechanism

NFT Staking allows players to earn Pixel tokens by locking up their NFTs. To participate in NFT Staking, players must:

1. Own a creature card (NFT).
2. Stake the creature card in the staking pool.

**Allocation and Vesting**

* **Allocation:** 10% of the total Pixel token supply is reserved for NFT Staking.
* **Vesting Period:** There is a 24-month vesting period during which staked tokens will be released progressively.

**Staking Rewards**

Rewards are distributed on a periodic basis and may depend on a number of factors, including:

* The rarity of the staked creature card.
* The duration for which the card is staked.
* The total number of participants in the staking pool.

**NFT Staking with Cyber Hamster**

The *Cyber Hamster* is an example of a "creature" NFT. Creatures like this have the special ability to help users **generate Pixel tokens** through the NFT Staking process.

**4 Ways to Generate PIXEL Tokens**

1. **Initial Purchase**: Buying PIXEL tokens from the initial liquidity pool at the Token Generation Event (TGE).
2. **Creature Mining**: Using "creature" NFTs to mine PIXEL tokens.
3. **Material Scrapping**: Collecting materials from a Pixel Extractor and converting them into PIXEL tokens.
4. **Pixel wallet**: A seamless multichain wallet that launches in Telegram in one click. Mass adoption is near. We will distribute 4% of tokens total supply.
