Dear Nexus Community Members,
To further expand the innovative boundaries of the platform's staking mechanisms and enhance synergies between tokens, Nexus is about to launch a brand-new staking model—"Burn Staking." This mechanism will introduce on-chain burning scenarios for ecosystem projects such as RWA (Real World Assets), promoting the release of multi-asset synergistic value.
I. New Mechanism: Burn Staking
"Burn Staking" is a novel dual-token staking mechanism. Users are required to stake two types of assets simultaneously, each serving a different function:
Asset A (e.g., ASC): Burn upon staking. Asset A staked by the user will be completely burned at the time of staking and cannot be redeemed.
Asset B (e.g., ANT): Will be redeemed according to the rules after the staking period expires.
This mechanism deeply integrates the act of burning with the staking process. While ensuring a mechanism for principal recovery, it introduces an active deflationary path, creating scarcity and long-term value for assets both inside and outside the ecosystem.
Note: Burn Staking only supports fixed-term staking and does not support flexible (demand) modes.
II. Yield Calculation Method
Although Asset A is burned at the time of staking, its value will still be counted towards the staking value for yield calculation purposes. The specific calculation is as follows:
Total Staking Value = (Quantity of Asset A × Price at Staking) + (Quantity of Asset B × Real-time Price)
Staking rewards will be allocated based on the Total Staking Value according to the platform's yield calculation model. This mechanism ensures that even though users undertake the burning operation, they still receive reasonable returns based on the full value of the assets pledged.
III. Debut Product: ASC + ANT Burn Staking Combination
As the first application of this model, Nexus will soon launch the ASC + ANT Burn Staking product with the following rules:
Users must simultaneously stake equivalent values of ASC and ANT.
All ASC will be immediately burned upon staking to drive the ASC deflation mechanism.
ANT will be redeemed according to the rules after the staking period expires.
IV. Significance and Ecosystem Outlook
The Burn Staking mechanism will provide a new value absorption pathway for various assets, including RWA. This not only helps optimize the platform's asset structure but also brings new participation incentives and deflationary dividends to users.
In the future, Nexus will gradually expand the range of tokens supported by this mechanism, creating a more flexible and sustainable staking ecosystem, and establishing it as essential infrastructure for the synergy of on-chain assets like RWA.
We invite more users to participate in the pilot and help build a diversified, long-term sustainable ecosystem!
Thank you for your attention and support!
