IOST StakeDrop FAQ

Q: What is the duration of the StakeDrop event?

A: The Offering Period runs from April 23, 2025, to May 24, 2025, at 8:00:00 UTC+8. During this time, users can freely select staking or unstaking and restaking based on tiered levels and multipliers. Staking becomes effective at 8:00:00 UTC+8 on May 24, 2025. After that, staking cannot be modified. For example, staking for 120 days starts on May 24, 2025, and ends on September 21, 2025.

Q: How are rewards distributed, and when can I withdraw my principal?

A: Rewards are distributed over four years (48 months), starting from 8:00:00 UTC+8 on May 24, 2025. Users can withdraw their principal after staking ends, along with the initial reward. The first reward corresponds to the total staking duration; for example, user staking for 24 months allows claiming 24 months’ worth of rewards immediately, with remaining rewards released monthly over the following 24 months..

Q: Which wallets are supported for the StakeDrop?

A: All plugin wallets supporting BSC are compatible; MetaMask is recommended.

Q: Can I transfer IOST directly to the BSC network on Binance?

A: Yes, major exchanges like Binance support transferring IOST to the BNB Chain (BEP20 network).

Q: Has StakeDrop been audited and is it secure?

A: Yes, the IOST StakeDrop has undergone a security audit. The report is available here: https://assets.binenet.com/reports/IOST_StakingDrop_Solidity_Smart_Contract_Audit_Report_V1.0.pdf

Q: What is the IOST contract address on BSC, and where can I view token details?

A: Contract address:https://bscscan.com/address/0xaf48b7e315a52518cfbf7d96c455d9dfad94cb48
Token info:https://bscscan.com/token/0xaf48b7e315a52518cfbf7d96c455d9dfad94cb48

Q: What is the minimum staking period?

A: The minimum is 90 days. Staking less than 90 days yields no rewards.

Q: How is reward calculation handled if I unstake early?

A: If you withdraw before your chosen staking period ends (e.g., staking 120 days but withdrawing after 90 days), rewards are recalculated based on a 90-day period. A 30% penalty on rewards applies, meaning you receive 70% of the rewards accrued over 90 days. The principal remains unaffected. Early withdrawal under the minimum period results in no rewards.

Q: Why are there no rewards during the event period if I stake IOST?

A: During the event, users can select their staking amount and duration flexibly. You can modify your staking strategy (cancel, change amount or duration) at any time within the month. The principal is unaffected.

Q: Will I be able to claim rewards after May 21, 2029?

A: There is a 90-day claim window after May 21, 2029. During this period, any unclaimed rewards can still be received.
