Quick answer: Each day's reward budget is shared between all active stakes by weighted amount. A 12-month stake counts double (2.0x) compared with a 1-month stake (1.0x), so it receives twice the share for the same number of tokens. There is no cap and no fixed rate.
The weights
Lock term | Weight | Locked until |
|---|---|---|
1 month | 1.00x | 1 calendar month after activation |
3 months | 1.25x | 3 calendar months after activation |
6 months | 1.50x | 6 calendar months after activation |
12 months | 2.00x | 12 calendar months after activation |
Worked example
Suppose today's budget is 300 Club Token and there are only two stakes. Ana has 100,000 tokens locked for 1 month (weight 1.0, so 100,000 weighted). Ben has 100,000 tokens locked for 12 months (weight 2.0, so 200,000 weighted). Total weighted is 300,000, so Ana receives 100 tokens and Ben receives 200 tokens. The real daily budget is about 182,648 CLUB, shared across everyone who stakes.
Why the rate floats
The reward budget is fixed for each day. If more tokens are staked, the same budget is split more ways and each stake's rate goes down; if fewer are staked, it goes up. That's why ClubAffili never quotes a guaranteed rate.
Choosing a term
Choose 1 month if you may need the tokens soon.
Choose 12 months for the biggest share, if you're comfortable not touching the tokens for a year.
Leaving early costs a fee on your principal: 60% for a 12-month stake at any point before it matures, and up to 60% for shorter terms, falling as the unlock date gets closer. The rest is held for 30 days. Choose a term you're comfortable keeping.
Related questions
Does the weight affect staking binary points? No. Staking binary counts 1 point per staked token, whatever the lock term.
Do rewards compound? Not automatically. Rewards are booked to your CLUB balance in Club Token and never added to a stake on their own. Use Restake CLUB on the Staking page to put them into a new stake.
