Reward eligibility
Users may stake AYNI for a fixed term to become eligible for variable rewards in PAXG. Reward calculations take into account staked throughput, reported gold output and grade, operating expenditure, reference prices, and applicable fees or multipliers.
Accrual and claiming
Eligibility accrues on a working-day basis.
Sundays are excluded, and certain Saturdays may also be excluded.
A daily snapshot is taken at 14:00 UTC.
Accrued rewards are not distributed automatically.
Eligible rewards become claimable in 90-day cycles.
Users must initiate the claim.
Rewards are not automatically compounded.
Staking terms
Available staking durations are 12, 24, 36, and 48 months. Early withdrawal is generally not permitted. Different allocations and durations may have different fees and Target VR estimates.
Simplified calculation
Gold extraction value − operating costs − applicable Programme or Success Fee = estimated reward.
The Programme page includes illustrative examples. They are based on reference prices and assumptions stated on that page and are not live quotes or guaranteed outcomes.
Buyback and burn
The current Terms describe buyback and burn as an intended future mechanism. It is not yet implemented. Its parameters may change, and it does not create a redemption obligation, guarantee liquidity, or guarantee any increase in AYNI’s price.
Governance
DAO governance is not live. The current Terms target a future governance framework for Q4 2026. For a worked reward-calculation example, see Staking and Payouts.
