How do I invest using GYSR?
GYSR provides infrastructure for investors to earn tokens in return for staking in its contracts. Every Pool offers different rewards and requires a different staking token. Find a Pool offering a reward token you’re interested in, then stake the required token and earn rewards over time. Check out the open pools here
Who creates the different Pools?
GYSR is an open platform. Any project can launch their own Pool. The only Pools that the GYSR team have created are the community Pool where we are releasing 89% of our token supply over 4 years and the Token Redistribution Pool.
What is $GYSR for?
$GYSR is token investors can “spend” to increase the rewards they accrue from staking in Pools. The token is not required when investing on the platform, but it can help investors maximize their rewards. You can get some here.
Is GYSR audited?
Yes. You can see our audit here.
Why did my rewards go down?
If your claimable rewards went down, this is likely due to another user unstaking with a large bonus multiplier, reducing the overall rewards pool.
But fear not! You now have a higher proportion of the global share seconds, so you will see your claimable rewards increasing at a faster rate as more rewards unlock.What happens when the funding schedule(s) end?When the funding schedule ends, rewards will stop unlocking, and the claimable amount will gradually be depleted. You should check with the Geyser owner to find out if they will be extending the rewards with another funding schedule.If the funding is indeed ending, make sure to unstake and claim rewards before that date!
Do I need GYSR token in order to participate?
No, using GYSR is totally optional. But it’s extremely important if you want to maximize your rewards!
How do I optimize my rewards?
There are a few factors to consider and there's no single perfect strategy for everyone. Read more about various farming strategies in this article on staking mechanics.
Where does my spent GYSR go?
Spent GYSR goes to the Pool creator as a source of continuous funding for that project.
Has GYSR vetted these projects?
No. The GYSR platform is completely open and anyone is free to use these tools. Please do your own research before investing in any project.
How do I learn more about these projects?
From the Pool page, you can navigate to the Etherscan page for that project token. Here, there is typically a list of resources including website, community groups, and social handles.
