Frequently Asked Questions

Do I earn more tokens by staking?

No. Staking FRT or FPT does NOT generate more tokens. There is no APY, no yield, no interest. You stake to unlock platform features and benefits.

What’s the difference between FRT and FPT staking?

Aspect	FRT Staking	FPT Staking
Purpose	Access power features	Get convenience perks
Examples	Org registration, hosting	Fee discounts, cosmetics
Lock Periods	Longer (3 months - 2 years)	Shorter (flexible - 180 days)
Who Needs It	Organizations, serious users	All players, creators

Can I have multiple stakes?

Yes! You can:

Stake FRT in multiple tiers for different features
Stake FPT separately for perks
Have both FRT and FPT stakes active simultaneously

What happens when my stake unlocks?

When the lock period ends:

Benefits continue as long as you keep staked
You can unstake anytime without penalty
If you unstake, benefits stop immediately

Is staking required to use FortisArena?

No. Staking is completely optional:

Basic platform use: No staking required
Social features: No staking required
Free tournaments: No staking required
Advanced features: Staking required

Can I lose my staked tokens?

Only in these situations:

Early unstaking → 10-20% penalty
Reputation slashing (FRT only) → If your org violates rules
Smart contract hack → Extremely unlikely, but possible

How is this different from DeFi staking?

DeFi Staking	FortisArena Staking
Lock tokens	Lock tokens
Earn yield/APY	Unlock features
Financial return	Utility return
Risk of impermanent loss	No LP risk
Compound rewards	No compounding

Risks & Considerations

Staked tokens cannot be accessed until the lock period ends (unless you pay the early penalty). Mitigation:

Only stake what you don’t need immediately
Use flexible staking for uncertain situations
Plan your token needs in advance

While our contracts are audited, all smart contracts carry some risk. Protections:

Multiple professional audits
Bug bounty program
Emergency pause functionality
Time-delayed on critical functions

Benefit Change Risk

Platform benefits associated with staking tiers may change over time. Policy:

Grandfathering for existing stakes
30-day notice for major changes
Community input on adjustments
