# The Journey (staking)

The Journey contract was created for two reasons: to reward OG holders of Realms, and to minimise gas fees for Lords/Ladies in the migration to StarkNet.

Once the Journey is complete, Lords/Ladies will be able to claim their Realms in the promised zero-knowledge proofed land of StarkNet (farewell mainnet fees).

To stake your Realm(s), head to [https://bibliothecadao.xyz/settling](https://bibliothecadao.xyz/settling).

## Rewards

To save on gas fees, rewards are distributed via epochs, which last for 7 days. You need to be staked for one entire epoch (7 days) to be entitled to your $LORDS. For example, if you stake at the end of epoch 2 and remain staked until epoch 4, you will receive the epoch 3 reward.

### **Epochs 1-10**

* 625x $LORDS per Realm, per epoch.&#x20;
* You can claim $LORDS immediately after each epoch.

### **Epochs 11-15**

There are two options for Realm Lords/Ladies:

1. **Continue in the same contract (The Galleon)**

* Lords/Ladies who remain staked in the original contract will automatically continue in this.&#x20;
* Single-sided NFT staking mechanic (you must stay staked the whole time to receive the full rewards on StarkNet).&#x20;
* You can unstake earlier, but you only will earn how many epochs you were staked for (claimed on StarkNet).&#x20;
* You will be able to claim all of the $LORDS up until week 10.&#x20;
* Rewards distributed in full once on StarkNet, directly on StarkNet&#x20;
* 350x $LORDS per epoch (a single-sided staking bonus of 12%)&#x20;
* You will still be able to stake in this contract in between epochs 11-15 and the rewards will be deposited directly onto StarkNet

&#x20;  2\. **New staking contract (The Carrack)**

* A new staking contract with the same mechanics as epochs 1-10&#x20;
* You can claim $LORDS immediately after each epoch&#x20;
* Will require unstaking from current contract and re-staking in the new one&#x20;
* New Realm Lords can stake in this contract 312.5x $LORDS per epoch&#x20;
* Epoch 11 will begin 48 hours after the end of epoch 10 (48 hours to stake for epoch 11 rewards)

### Epochs 16+

The Journey continues as the following until StarkNet is in beta (ETA mid-May)! As planned, emissions will be reduced to 25/day, but distributed via weekly epochs - 175/epoch. During this time, the Galleon will receive an additional 12% boost of rewards.

**The Galleon (V1)**

* $LORDS rewards: 196x $LORDS per epoch (28/day)&#x20;
* Length: Epoch 16 - until StarkNet is in beta and we have bridged.&#x20;
* Claiming $LORDS: Rewards are not claimable on mainnet and will only be claimable once on StarkNet. (ETA mid-may - awaiting StarkNet Beta)
* Rewards Eligibility: You will be rewarded for every full epoch staked.

_Your StarkNet $LORDS balance will appear on the staking page during epoch 16 and will be manually updated every epoch._

**The Carrack (V2)**

* $LORDS rewards: 175x $LORDS per epoch (25/day)&#x20;
* Length: Epoch 16 - until StarkNet is in beta and we have bridged.&#x20;
* Claiming $LORDS: You can claim $LORDS immediately after each fully staked epoch.&#x20;
* Rewards Eligibility: You will be rewarded for every full epoch staked.



## Staking FAQs&#x20;

**What does this staking contract do?**&#x20;

By boarding the ship now, you can begin to earn $LORDS. Once the StarkNet bridge is complete, your Realms will be available to claim directly on StarkNet.

**How long do you need to be staked for to be entitled to rewards?**&#x20;

You need to be staked for one entire epoch (7 days) to be entitled to your $LORDS. For example, if you stake end the end of epoch 2 and remain staked until epoch 4, you will receive the epoch 3 reward.

**Once staked, do you need stake again for future epochs?**&#x20;

No, once you stake and remained staked, you’ll be entitled to all future epoch rewards (unless you unstake).

**Why can’t I see my Realm(s) in OpenSea after staking?**&#x20;

Your realms won’t appear in OS while staking as they are transferred into the contract wallet in this process. You can view your staked Realms under 'My Adventurer' at https://bibliothecadao.xyz/.

**Can I list/sell my Realms on OpenSea while staking?**&#x20;

No, during staking you can’t list/sell your Realms as they are in the contract wallet. If you wish to list/sell your Realms then you must first unstake them.

**Do you have to claim $LORDS after each epoch?**&#x20;

No, you can let rewards accrue and claim in bulk to save gas. If you wish to avoid claiming on L1 we will have a solution to migrate your $LORDS to StarkNet and claim there to save further gas.
