Staking QTS
The step-by-step process to stake QTS on the Quintes platform.
Staking QTS is how you actively participate in the growth and governance of the Quintes Protocol.
By locking your QTS tokens for a chosen duration, you strengthen the system, contribute to decentralized decision-making, and earn a share of real protocol revenue through a dynamic APY model that adjusts with performance and staking participation.
Overview
Staked QTS is used to:
Support governance votes and risk parameter decisions.
Back the Protection Pool, which safeguards QNT redemptions.
Earn proportional rewards from protocol revenue and yield strategies.
Staking QTS strengthens the entire Quintes ecosystem, aligning individual incentives with protocol stability and long-term sustainability.
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Go to the Staking Page
Click the “Staking” tab on the menu bar.
2. Connect Your Wallet
Click the “Connect Wallet” button (top right corner of the Quintes app).
Select the wallet your QTS exists in.
3. Enter QTS Amount
Enter how much QTS you'd like to stake.
Note: The amount you enter can't exceed the amount in your connected wallet.
4. Select Staking Period
There are 5 options to choose from:
Flexible (No Lock)
1.0x
3 Months
1.3x
6 Months
1.7x
12 Months
2.5x
24 Months
4.0x
Your selected staking period applies a multiplier to your rewards — longer lock durations earn proportionally higher yields.
5. Confirm and Stake
Your expected rewards should appear after inputting the QTS amount and selecting a staking period.
Click “Stake QTS Tokens” to initiate the transaction.
Your wallet will prompt you to confirm. Once approved, your QTS will be locked and you'll begin earning rewards.
