Previous Staking Mechanism

The old staking model on Arbitrum utilized a two-token system consisting of WINR and vested WINR (vWINR). While this model provided staking incentives, it also introduced limitations in liquidity and flexibility, which have been addressed in the new WINR Chain staking system.

How the Old Model Worked:

• Users staked WINR or vWINR in exchange for WLP tokens, earning real yield.

• vWINR was non-tradable and non-transferable, acting as a locked representation of WINR.

• Vesting Period Requirement: Users had to go through a predefined vesting process to convert vWINR back into tradable WINR.

Challenges of the Old Model:

❌ Lack of Liquidity – Staked assets were locked, reducing market flexibility. ❌ Limited User Control – Users had to wait through vesting periods, restricting their ability to adjust holdings.

The new WINR Chain staking system resolves these issues, offering a more efficient, flexible, and user-friendly staking experience that better aligns with the evolving needs of the ecosystem.
