Rarity determines share. | #### XDC Liquid Staking The simplest way to earn on your XDC. No NFT required. No minimum amount. 1. **Stake XDC** - Deposit any amount into the liquid staking contract. 2. **Receive psXDC** - You get psXDC at a 1:1 ratio, instantly. 3. **Earn rewards** - Rewards accrue continuously at \~4.5% APY. 4. **Stay liquid** - psXDC is a standard XDC Network token. Hold it, transfer it, or use it in DeFi. 5. **Withdraw anytime** - Burn psXDC to get your XDC back. Withdrawal requests are processed via the validator queue (\~35 days average based on real-world block times). → [Learn more about XDC Liquid Staking](https://docs.primestaking.xyz/products/xdc-liquid-staking) #### XDC NFTs A gamified staking layer on top of liquid staking. Deposit psXDC into collectible NFTs to boost your yield. * Each NFT has a **rarity** (Common → Legendary) that determines the base reward multiplier. * **Level up** by merging two same-rarity NFTs into a higher tier. * **Lock** your NFT for 1 year for an additional 1.25% APY bonus (up to 6% total). * Rewards are paid in XDC and claimable monthly. → [Learn more about XDC NFTs](https://docs.primestaking.xyz/products/xdc-staking-nfts) #### PRFI NFTs Staking for PRFI token holders. Deposit PRFI into NFTs to earn a share of the monthly reward pool. PRFI NFTs live on the **Base** network (Ethereum L2) and are tradeable on [OpenSea](https://opensea.io/collection/primenumbers-prfi-onft). * 100,000 PRFI distributed monthly across all staked NFTs. * Higher rarity = higher share of the reward pool. * Merge NFTs to unlock stronger multipliers and maximize yield. → [Learn more about PRFI NFTs](https://docs.primestaking.xyz/products/prfi-staking-nfts) → [Buy on OpenSea](https://opensea.io/collection/primenumbers-prfi-onft) #### How Reward Tokens Work | Product | Rewards paid in | Frequency | | ---------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------ | | **XDC Liquid Staking** | psXDC | Continuous accrual, claim anytime | | **XDC NFTs** | XDC | Monthly distribution, claim from app | | **PRFI NFTs** | PRFI | Monthly distribution, claim from app | #### The psXDC Ecosystem ``` XDC → psXDC → NFT → Boost ``` | Step | What Happens | | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Stake** | Deposit XDC into the liquid staking contract. | | **Receive** | Get psXDC (1:1).
