Stake NFTs, Earn Rewards 🏆️

Introducing: Pre-Built, Audited Staking Contracts 🥩 

One of the most interesting web3 features that has gained popularity over the past year is NFT staking: where users ‘lock up’ their NFTs in a smart contract and receive rewards in exchange.

NFT staking has become a cornerstone of many web3 projects, providing an innovative way to incentivize users, reward supporters, and build: 

• Communities that reward long-term participants

• Large-scale economies in web3 games

• Customer loyalty programs for brands

But locking up assets can sound scary for users, and creating a secure NFT staking smart contract is even more daunting for developers. So today, we’re launching a collection of pre-built, audited, gas-optimized staking contracts — fully open-source & deployable on any EVM chain:

• StakeERC721: Stake ERC721 NFTs for ERC20 tokens as rewards

• StakeERC1155: Stake ERC1155 NFTs for ERC20 tokens as rewards

• StakeERC20: Stake ERC20 tokens for other ERC20 tokens as rewards

Scroll down for our tutorial on how to create an NFT staking app in under 1 hour, use our Staking app template, and start building today:
