Staking Terms and Conditions

1. Acceptance of Terms

By participating in the staking of iO Beats Tokens (IOB), you agree to these Staking Terms and Conditions, the iO Beats Terms of Use, and all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree to these terms, you should not participate in staking.

2. Eligibility

  • Staking is open to individuals over the age of 18 with the legal capacity to enter into contracts.

  • Users must hold the necessary amount of IOB tokens in their wallets to participate in staking.

  • By staking, you confirm that you are not located in a jurisdiction where staking or cryptocurrency activities are prohibited by law.

3. Staking Rewards

  • Staking rewards will be distributed based on the amount of IOB tokens staked and the length of the staking period.

  • Reward rates are subject to change at any time, and iO Beats reserves the right to adjust the staking rewards or suspend rewards distribution without prior notice.

  • Rewards will be automatically added to the staker's balance at the end of the staking period unless stated otherwise.

4. Lock-up Period

  • Staking tokens may involve a lock-up period during which you cannot withdraw your staked IOB tokens.

  • The lock-up period is determined by the staking option you select and will be clearly indicated at the time of staking.

  • Early withdrawal of staked tokens may result in a penalty or forfeiture of rewards, as described in the staking agreement.

5. Risks

  • Market Risk: The value of IOB tokens and staking rewards may fluctuate due to market conditions, and iO Beats cannot guarantee the value of tokens at the time of staking or at the end of the staking period.

  • Smart Contract Risk: iO Beats uses blockchain technology, including smart contracts, to operate staking. While the smart contracts are audited, there is always a risk of bugs or vulnerabilities that could impact staking performance.

  • Regulatory Risk: Changes in legal or regulatory frameworks in your jurisdiction could affect your ability to participate in staking or the legality of holding or staking tokens.

6. Slashing Conditions

  • Under certain circumstances, such as network attacks or misconduct by a validator, a portion of your staked tokens could be slashed (i.e., lost).

  • iO Beats will take reasonable steps to minimize slashing risks but cannot be held liable for losses due to slashing.

7. Withdrawal of Tokens

  • At the end of the staking period, you may withdraw your staked tokens along with any applicable rewards.

  • The withdrawal process may take a specified amount of time to ensure network security. During this time, your tokens will be unavailable for transactions or transfers.

8. Taxes

  • You are solely responsible for any taxes or duties related to staking and rewards. iO Beats does not provide tax advice and recommends consulting with a tax professional regarding your staking activities.

9. Termination or Suspension of Staking

  • iO Beats reserves the right to suspend or terminate staking services for any reason, including legal or security issues.

  • In the event of termination, staked tokens and applicable rewards will be returned according to the terms set out in these conditions.

10. No Guarantees

  • Participation in staking is voluntary, and iO Beats provides no guarantee of profitability, future token value, or staking reward rate.

11. Dispute Resolution

  • Any disputes arising from these Staking Terms and Conditions shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution terms of the iO Beats Terms of Use.

12. Changes to Terms

  • iO Beats reserves the right to modify these terms at any time. Any significant changes will be communicated through official channels.
