QDAY Staking User Guide

Prerequisites

Before you begin staking, please ensure you have the following:

• An EVM-compatible wallet (MetaMask recommended)
• Sufficient QDAY tokens in your wallet for staking
• A small amount of QDAY for transaction fees

Tip

If you don't have a MetaMask wallet yet, please refer to the MetaMask Wallet User Guide.

1. What Is the Purpose of QDAY Staking?

QDAY Staking allows you to stake your existing QDAY tokens and earn more QDAY tokens every day---exactly as it sounds: as long as you hold QDAY, you can grow your QDAY holdings through staking.

Staking Benefits

• Passive Income: Earn stable daily rewards through staking
• Secure and Reliable: Smart contracts execute automatically without trusting third parties
• Flexible Options: Freely choose your lock-up period; longer lock-ups yield higher rewards

2. How It Works?

To participate in the QDAY Staking, follow these two simple steps:

1. Stake QDAY:

   Visit portal.qday.io and click the QDAY Staking page, choose your lock-up period, and stake your QDAY tokens.

2. Claim QDAY Rewards:

   Once staked, you begin receiving daily validator rewards in QDAY automatically.

Staking Mechanism

• When staking, the system automatically converts QDAY to WQDAY (wrapped token)
• Longer lock-up periods result in higher share allocations
• Rewards accumulate daily and can be claimed and withdrawn to your wallet anytime

3. Tutorial

Follow these steps to start staking:

Step 1: Set up your wallet

• Log in your EVM wallet(e.g., MetaMask) and "Add custom network" with QDAY Mainnet information as below:

  Network Name: QDay Mainnet RPC: https://rpc.qday.io Chain ID: 44001 Symbol: QDAY Explorer URL: https://explorer.qday.io

  

• Switch your wallet to QDay Mainnet.

Step 2: Access to QDAY Staking

• Go to the https://portal.qday.io/

• Click the "QDAY Staking" tab and it will redirect to QDAY Staking.

  

• Click "Connect Wallet" and link your wallet.

  

Step 3: Stake QDAY

• Enter the amount of WQDAY/QDAY to stake → Select your lock-up period in days → Click "Convert & Stake" and confirm the transaction in your wallet.

  Note：When you stake, your QDAY will be automatically converted to WQDAY (the wrapped token) if you have a sufficient balance.

  

• Check your staking status in Your Staking Stats" section

  

Step 4: Rewards and Withdraw

Daily rewards accumulate automatically → Claim your pending rewards → Withdraw from your vault balance to your EVM wallet .

4. Reward Details

A. Reward Pool 50% of the total QDAY supply (approximately 11.259 billion tokens) is allocated for staking rewards.

B. Daily Distribution Each day, 1/1000 of the remaining rewards in the pool is distributed to stakers. The daily payout decreases gradually over time.

C. Reward Share Calculation Your daily reward is determined by your Share, which is calculated as: Number of QDAY staked × Remaining lock-up days

Example:

You stake 100 QDAY with a 1,460-day lock-up: Your Share = 100 × 1,460 = 146,000

Meanwhile, another user stakes 200 QDAY with a 730-day lock-up: Their Share = 200 × 730 = 146,000

Stake more tokens or choose a longer lock-up period to increase your daily rewards.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can an Abelian network be added to MetaMask?

Answer: No.

Abelian is an independent post-quantum blockchain network that uses a different technical architecture from EVM. MetaMask is designed specifically for Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible chains and therefore cannot support the Abelian network.

Note

If you need to use the Abelian network, please use the Abelian Pro mobile wallet application.

Q2: Can a QDAY network be added to MetaMask?

Answer: Yes.

The QDAY network is an EVM-compatible blockchain that fully supports MetaMask wallet. You can easily add the QDAY Mainnet to MetaMask and use MetaMask for QDAY token management, transfers, and staking operations.
