Everything you need to know about staking on PepuFactory. Earn rewards, build loyalty, grow your portfolio.
PepuFactory offers two staking options for every token. Each is designed for a different type of investor — choose the one that fits your strategy, or use both.
| Feature | 🌾 Reward Farm | 🔒 Locked Staking |
|---|---|---|
| Lock Period | None — stake & unstake anytime | Fixed duration (1–365 days) |
| Flexibility | Full — partial unstake allowed | Locked until pool ends |
| Buy Tax Rewards | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes (via the farm) |
| Bonus Rewards | ✅ Yes — anyone can deposit | ❌ No |
| Staking Reward | ❌ No | ✅ Yes — creator deposits upfront |
| FACTORY Tax Rewards | ✅ Yes (Featured Tokens) | ✅ Yes (Featured Tokens) |
| Best For | Flexible yield seekers | Long-term holders & community builders |
💡 Key Concept: Both staking methods share the same underlying Reward Farm. The Locked Staking Pool stakes into the Reward Farm on your behalf, so locked stakers also benefit from buy tax rewards and FACTORY rewards. The difference is that locked stakers get an additional Staking Reward (deposited by the pool creator) as an incentive for locking up.
The Reward Farm is the core staking layer. It runs forever — no expiration, no lock. You stake your tokens and earn a share of all buy tax rewards generated by the token's trading activity.
Every time someone buys the token on PepuSwap, a percentage of that buy goes to the Reward Farm as tax. These rewards accumulate in the smart contract and can be harvested by anyone. When harvested, the rewards are distributed proportionally among all stakers based on their share of the total staked amount.
Navigate to the Reward Farm page and connect your wallet. Find the token you want to stake.
Enter the amount you want to stake. If this is your first time, you'll need to approve the contract to spend your tokens (one-time transaction). Then confirm the stake.
As long as your tokens are staked, you accumulate rewards every time someone buys the token. Your share is proportional to your staked amount vs. total staked.
Click "⛏️ Harvest for All Stakers" to pull pending buy tax rewards from the token contract into the farm. This is a public action — anyone can do it, and it benefits all stakers at once.
Click "💰 Claim All" to withdraw your accumulated rewards (Buy Tax + Bonus + FACTORY) to your wallet.
You can unstake partially or fully at any time. Enter the amount and click "🔓 Unstake". Your unclaimed rewards are preserved — claim them whenever you want.
💡 Tip: You don't need to claim before unstaking. Your pending rewards are saved automatically and you can claim them later.
Locked Staking Pools are time-limited pools where you lock your tokens for a fixed duration. In exchange, you earn a guaranteed Staking Reward (deposited upfront by the pool creator) on top of all the buy tax and FACTORY rewards from the underlying farm.
A pool creator sets a duration (e.g. 30 days) and deposits reward tokens upfront. These rewards vest linearly over the pool duration and are distributed proportionally among all locked stakers. Meanwhile, the pool also stakes into the Reward Farm on your behalf, so you earn buy tax rewards too.
Navigate to the Locked Staking page and connect your wallet. Browse available pools.
Each pool card shows the token, lock duration, total staked, staker count, and Staking Reward. Pick one that fits your commitment level.
Enter your amount and click "🔒 Stake & Lock". Your tokens are locked until the pool ends — you cannot unstake early.
In the Rewards tab, click "⛏️ Harvest" to pull buy tax + FACTORY rewards from the farm into the pool. Anyone can do this — it benefits all locked stakers.
Click "💰 Claim All" to withdraw your accumulated rewards (Staking Reward + Buy Tax + FACTORY) to your wallet. You can claim anytime without unstaking.
Once the pool duration expires, the "🔓 Unstake" button becomes active. Click it to get your original tokens back.
⚠️ Important: Locked means locked. You cannot unstake before the pool ends. Only stake an amount you're comfortable locking for the full duration. The earlier you stake, the more Staking Reward you accumulate (it vests linearly from the moment the first person stakes).
PepuFactory staking can generate up to 4 types of rewards simultaneously. Not all tokens have all layers — it depends on how the token was configured at creation.
Available on all tokens with a buy tax. Every purchase generates a tax that goes to the Reward Farm. Stakers earn these rewards proportionally. Anyone can trigger the harvest — it's a public action that benefits all stakers at once. Rewards are paid in the token itself.
Reward Farm only. Anyone can deposit bonus rewards with a vesting schedule (1–365 days). These vest linearly and are distributed to all stakers. Great for community incentives, marketing rewards, or team distributions. Multiple bonus rounds can run simultaneously.
Locked Staking Pool only. The pool creator deposits tokens upfront when creating the pool. These vest linearly over the pool duration and are distributed to all locked stakers. This is the guaranteed yield for committing to a lock period.
Available on Featured Tokens (tokens with ≥3% FACTORY tax). Trading activity fills a tax pot. When the pot reaches a threshold, anyone can trigger a Batch Sell that converts the collected tokens into FACTORY tokens, which are then distributed to stakers. Rewards are paid in FACTORY — an additional reward on top of everything else.
| Reward Type | 🌾 Reward Farm | 🔒 Locked Pool | How to Trigger |
|---|---|---|---|
| ⛏️ Buy Tax | ✅ | ✅ | "⛏️ Harvest" button |
| 🎁 Bonus | ✅ | ❌ | Automatic (vesting) |
| 🔒 Staking Reward | ❌ | ✅ | Automatic (vesting) |
| ⭐ FACTORY Tax | ✅ | ✅ | "🔄 Batch Sell" + "⭐ Harvest FACTORY" |
Featured Tokens (those created with ≥3% FACTORY tax) have a special reward mechanism powered by the FACTORY token. This is an extra layer of rewards on top of the regular buy tax.
Every time someone trades a Featured Token, a portion of the transaction is collected in a "tax pot" inside the token contract. When this pot reaches a certain threshold, anyone can trigger a Batch Sell — a smart contract operation that swaps the collected tokens for FACTORY tokens via PepuSwap.
In the Rewards tab, the Batch Sell section shows the "Pot Balance" (how much tax has been collected) and "Threshold" (how much is needed). The progress bar shows how close it is.
When the pot reaches the threshold, the "🔄 Convert Pot → FACTORY" button becomes active. Anyone can click it. The smart contract swaps the tokens for FACTORY and sends them to the Reward Contract.
Click "⭐ Harvest FACTORY TAX" to pull the FACTORY tokens from the Reward Contract into the farm. This distributes them proportionally to all stakers.
Your FACTORY rewards appear under "Your Rewards → FACTORY TAX Rewards". Click "💰 Claim All" to send them to your wallet along with any other pending rewards.
⭐ Featured Token Bonus: When a token with ≥3% FACTORY tax graduates from the bonding curve, it automatically receives 15 million FACTORY tokens as a gift. These vest over 7 days and are distributed to all token holders through the Reward Contract. Stakers in the farm get the lion's share since the farm holds the most tokens.
The FactoryRewardContract distributes FACTORY proportionally to ALL holders of the token — not just stakers. However, since the Reward Farm smart contract is typically the largest single holder (it holds all staked tokens), it receives the biggest share. The farm then re-distributes its share among individual stakers proportionally.
Imagine a token with 600M eligible supply:
• Wallet A holds 100M → receives 16.7% of FACTORY directly
• Wallet B holds 200M → receives 33.3% of FACTORY directly
• Reward Farm holds 300M (staked) → receives 50% of FACTORY
— Staker X: 250M staked → gets 5/6 of the farm's 50%
— Locked Pool: 50M staked → gets 1/6 of the farm's 50%
Key takeaway: The more people stake, the more tokens the farm holds, the bigger slice of FACTORY rewards goes to stakers. Staking is always better than just holding.
Every token can have one Reward Farm. It runs forever and starts earning buy tax rewards immediately when people stake. Creating is simple and free (just gas).
Click "Create Farm", enter your token address, and confirm. Done — your community can now stake and earn buy tax rewards.
Anyone can create locked pools for any token that already has a Reward Farm. You deposit the reward tokens upfront — they vest linearly to all stakers over the pool duration.
Click "Create Pool", enter the token address, reward amount (how many tokens to distribute as Staking Reward), and duration (1–365 days). The reward tokens are transferred from your wallet when you create the pool.
Share the link with your community. The more stakers join, the more committed your holder base becomes. Staking Reward vesting starts from the moment the first person stakes.
Want to incentivize stakers without creating a locked pool? Anyone can deposit bonus rewards into the Reward Farm. Go to the Bonus tab, enter an amount and vesting duration (1–365 days), and deposit. These rewards vest linearly and are distributed to all farm stakers.
💡 Pro Tip: You can create multiple locked pools for the same token with different durations and reward amounts. For example: a 7-day pool with small rewards for newcomers, and a 90-day pool with larger rewards for committed supporters.
Harvesting is a public action — anyone can do it and it benefits all stakers equally. You don't need to be the one who presses the button. When you click "💰 Claim All", it automatically harvests first, so you always get the latest rewards.
Yes! You can split your tokens between the Reward Farm (flexible) and one or more Locked Pools (fixed duration). Each earns its own set of rewards independently.
Nothing — they accumulate safely in the smart contract. There's no expiration or penalty for delayed claiming. Claim whenever you want.
Buy tax rewards accumulate in the token contract until someone triggers a harvest. The rewards are never lost — they just sit there waiting. Harvesting is free for anyone to do (just gas costs).
The APY shown in the interface is an estimate based on current rewards and total staked amount, projected over 365 days. Actual APY depends on future trading volume, number of stakers, and reward deposits. It's a live estimate, not a guarantee.
No. Locked means locked. Your tokens are locked until the pool's duration expires. Only then can you unstake. Make sure you're comfortable with the lock period before staking.
Buy tax rewards are paid in the token itself — you stake TOKEN and earn more TOKEN. FACTORY tax rewards are paid in the FACTORY token — an additional reward on top. Only Featured Tokens (≥3% FACTORY tax) generate FACTORY rewards.
Not from the farm. Buy tax rewards, bonus rewards, and staking rewards only go to stakers. You must stake your tokens to earn. The only exception is the FACTORY gift vesting from the Reward Contract, which distributes to all holders — but stakers get the biggest share since the farm holds the most tokens.
In the Reward Farm, "Claim All" sends your pending Buy Tax + Bonus + FACTORY rewards to your wallet. In the Locked Pool, "Claim All" first harvests from the farm (pulling in the latest buy tax and FACTORY), then sends your Staking Reward + Buy Tax + FACTORY to your wallet. It's a single click for all your rewards.
Yes — both are permissionless. Anyone can create a Locked Staking Pool for any token that has a Reward Farm, and anyone can deposit Bonus Rewards into any Reward Farm. You just need the tokens to deposit as rewards.
