# Staking & Returns

0.3% – 1.0% every 12 hours, term bonuses, the day-31 exit window, three settlement speeds with their burns, 20 generations of referrals and V1 – V12.

A staking deposit is swapped into XO and starts earning at once. **Settlement every 12 hours, 0.3% – 1.0% each time, at 08:00 and 20:00 Beijing time, twice a day.** Rewards land directly in XO.

```
Per settlement = staked amount × (0.3% – 1.0%) × (1 + term bonus)
Per day        = per settlement × 2
```

1,000 USDT staked earns 6 – 20 USDT a day; on the 540-day term with its +50% bonus, 9 – 30 USDT a day.

## Five terms <a href="#five-terms" id="five-terms"></a>

|     Term | Bonus | 1,000 USDT staked · per day | 10,000 USDT staked · per month | At maturity              | Cumulative lock |
| -------: | ----: | --------------------------: | -----------------------------: | ------------------------ | --------------: |
|  30 days |  base |                 6 – 20 USDT |             1,800 – 6,000 USDT | Day-31 exit window       |      1,200 days |
|  90 days |  +10% |               6.6 – 22 USDT |             1,980 – 6,600 USDT | Rolls into the next term |      1,170 days |
| 180 days |  +20% |               7.2 – 24 USDT |             2,160 – 7,200 USDT | Rolls into the next term |      1,080 days |
| 360 days |  +30% |               7.8 – 26 USDT |             2,340 – 7,800 USDT | Rolls into the next term |        900 days |
| 540 days |  +50% |                 9 – 30 USDT |             2,700 – 9,000 USDT | Principal returned       |        540 days |

## Exit and renewal <a href="#exit-and-renewal" id="exit-and-renewal"></a>

* **30-day term**: day 31 is the exit window — principal plus 30 days of rewards, no penalty. Miss the window and the order renews automatically, 90 → 180 → 360 → 540 days, for a cumulative lock of 1,200 days.
* **540-day term**: one step, +50% bonus, and a cumulative lock of only 540 days — the shortest lock and the largest bonus.
* Minimum order 100 USDT; once 100 USDT of rewards has accrued it can be staked as a new order, and the principal keeps compounding.

## Withdrawal and burn <a href="#withdrawal-and-burn" id="withdrawal-and-burn"></a>

Rewards can be withdrawn at any time, through one of three settlement speeds — the faster the settlement, the larger the burn:

<figure><img src="https://609249596-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FDuNfUDKKCaOvp6aLuQX1%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-e53767791c3b09e1167acf3190dc96de929ff6b4%2Fonepage-08-withdrawal-lanes.svg?alt=media" alt="Withdraw 1,000 USDT: immediate settlement burns 300 EXON, 30-day burns 200, 60-day burns 100 (at 1.0 USDT)"><figcaption><p>How much EXON each settlement speed burns on a 1,000 USDT withdrawal</p></figcaption></figure>

| Settlement    | Burned | EXON burned on a 1,000 USDT withdrawal (at 1.0 USDT) |
| ------------- | -----: | ---------------------------------------------------: |
| Immediate     |    30% |                                                  300 |
| 30-day linear |    20% |                                                  200 |
| 60-day linear |    10% |                                                  100 |

What burns is EXON from the fuel wallet, gone from circulation for good. If the fuel wallet holds enough, settle immediately; if not, pick a slower settlement or top up fuel through the private sale. Static rewards, referral rewards and leadership bonuses each burn on every withdrawal.

## Referral rewards: 20 generations, 76% in total <a href="#referral-rewards-20-generations" id="referral-rewards-20-generations"></a>

Referral rewards are calculated on each downline's daily static output, across up to 20 generations, settled in the same cycle as static rewards and always paid in XO.

<figure><img src="https://609249596-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FDuNfUDKKCaOvp6aLuQX1%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-b493c51fb8d3423a3f395d665a75ffbd65720673%2Fonepage-11-twenty-generations.svg?alt=media" alt="Referral rates across 20 generations: generation 1 15%, generations 2–3 10%, 4–8 5%, 9–12 2%, 13–20 1%, 76% in total"><figcaption><p>15% on the first generation, all the way down to the twentieth</p></figcaption></figure>

| Generation  | Rate | Unlock: own stake | Unlock: direct referrals (cumulative) |
| ----------- | ---: | ----------------: | ------------------------------------: |
| Gen 1       |  15% |          100 USDT |              4, each order ≥ 100 USDT |
| Gen 2 – 3   |  10% |          100 USDT |                                     4 |
| Gen 4       |   5% |          100 USDT |                                     4 |
| Gen 5 – 8   |   5% |          500 USDT |              8, each order ≥ 500 USDT |
| Gen 9 – 12  |   2% |        1,000 USDT |           12, each order ≥ 1,000 USDT |
| Gen 13 – 16 |   1% |        2,000 USDT |           16, each order ≥ 1,000 USDT |
| Gen 17 – 20 |   1% |        5,000 USDT |           20, each order ≥ 1,000 USDT |

## Leadership bonuses: V1 – V12 on the level differential <a href="#leadership-bonuses-v1-v12" id="leadership-bonuses-v1-v12"></a>

Leadership bonuses are paid as a **Differential Matching Bonus**: your rate minus your downline's rate. Assessment is cumulative on deposits — the largest leg plus all other legs combined — and a level once reached is never lost; from V6 upward, two separate legs must each produce the next level down.

| Level |   Own stake |     Largest leg | Other legs combined |            Rate |
| ----- | ----------: | --------------: | ------------------: | --------------: |
| V1    |    500 USDT |     20,000 USDT |         10,000 USDT |        1% – 15% |
| V2    |  1,000 USDT |     30,000 USDT |         20,000 USDT |       16% – 25% |
| V3    |  2,000 USDT |    100,000 USDT |         50,000 USDT |       26% – 35% |
| V4    |  3,000 USDT |    200,000 USDT |        100,000 USDT |       36% – 45% |
| V5    |  5,000 USDT |    500,000 USDT |        200,000 USDT |       46% – 55% |
| V6    |  6,000 USDT |  2,000,000 USDT |        2 × V5 teams |       56% – 65% |
| V7    |  7,000 USDT |  5,000,000 USDT |        2 × V6 teams |       66% – 75% |
| V8    |  8,000 USDT |  8,000,000 USDT |        2 × V7 teams |       76% – 85% |
| V9    |  9,000 USDT | 10,000,000 USDT |        2 × V8 teams |      86% – 100% |
| V10   | 13,000 USDT | 20,000,000 USDT |        2 × V9 teams | global pool 20% |
| V11   | 17,000 USDT | 30,000,000 USDT |       2 × V10 teams | global pool 30% |
| V12   | 20,000 USDT | 50,000,000 USDT |       2 × V11 teams | global pool 50% |

V10 – V12 share a global pool of 3% of all XO deposits, weighted 20 / 30 / 50 and split equally within each level. Referral rewards and leadership bonuses burn EXON from the fuel wallet on withdrawal in the same way.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Every order and every settlement records the parameter version it ran under.** The per-settlement range, term bonuses and leadership execution rates are set by market stage; later adjustments never rewrite historical accruals, and the interface tells the user which version governs their order.

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
