# $ATS Staking

### Benefits of Staking

Staking allows long-term token $ATS holders to be passively rewarded with more $ATS over time.

* ✅ | $ATS stakers earn 75% of the trading fees from our DEX platform
* ✅ | $ATS stakers will be able to access exclusive benefits, such as pre-sale lists for new projects, airdrops and giveaways.

### About xATS Tokens

* Staked $ATS = **xATS**
* **APY** indicates Annual Percentage Yield on your xATS
* **The ratio of xATS to $ATS** = the conversion of xATS to ATS on the day if you stake or unstake

xATS tokens can be swapped over to $ATS tokens anytime. There's also no minimum or maximum on how much you can stake.

### How to stake $ATS tokens 

1. Connect your Wallet

We are currently supporting Solana wallets such as Phantom and Sollet.

2\. Enter the amount of $ATS tokens you would like to stake 

The amount of xATS you receive is based off the 1 xATS = \_\_ ATS ratio at the time. See **'How to calculate your ATS rewards'** below.

3\. Approve the transaction

And your $ATS tokens have been successfully staked. In your wallet, you would have received some xATS tokens (Staked Atlas DEX token).

### How to calculate your ATS rewards

The amount of xATS you receive is based off the 1 xATS = \_\_ ATS ratio at the time. 

For example:

* If the current ratio is 1xATS = 1.17 ATS and you stake **1000 ATS**;
* Then you will receive 1,000 ATS / 1.17 = **854.7 xATS**

As the 1xATS = \_\_ ATS ratio grows over time, the ATS value of your xATS will grow.

For example:

* At a later period, 1xATS = 1.3 ATS, and you unstake your **854.7 xATS**;
* Then you will receive 854.7 xATS x 1.3 = **1,111.11 ATS**

### xATS Reward Tiers (coming soon...)
