Stake

Fanify offers two distinct staking modalities, each tailored to different user profiles and designed to maximize the utility of both CHZ and Fan Tokens within the betting ecosystem.

---

1. CHZ Stake – Single Match Bettor

This mode is ideal for casual users who prefer one-off bets without long-term commitments.

Flow:

1. Stake CHZ: The user stakes their CHZ tokens through the platform.

2. **Mint $HYPE:** In exchange, they receive an equivalent amount of$HYPE, pegged to USD (e.g., $10 worth of CHZ → 10$HYPE).

3. **Bet with $HYPE:** The$HYPE can be used to place bets on any team, in any match available on the platform.

4. Unstake: After the match concludes, users can unstake their $HYPE to reclaim a proportional amount of their original CHZ—**only if they still hold$HYPE**.

Risk Awareness:

If a user loses all of their $HYPE in bets, they forfeit their staked CHZ permanently. This mechanism ensures responsible betting behavior and prevents farming abuse.

2. Fan Token Stake – Season Supporter Mode

This mode is designed for committed fans who want to support their team throughout the season while earning exclusive yield and loyalty benefits.

🔁 Flow:

1. Stake Fan Token: The user locks Fan Tokens tied to a specific team for the duration of the season.

2. **Mint $HYPE (+50In return, they receive$HYPE pegged to USD, plus a +50% loyalty bonus on the total amount minted. (e.g., $100 worth of Fan Tokens → 150$HYPE)

3. Bet with Loyalty: This $HYPE can only be used to bet on the user’s chosen team throughout the season. Bets are restricted to predicting a win or skipping the match to preserve capital. Betting against the supported team is not allowed.

4. Unstake (Post-Season): Once the season ends, the user may unstake their Fan Tokens. They receive:

   • A USD-equivalent return of their staked value (via $HYPE)
   • Plus any yield rewards accumulated throughout the season.
