How to activate Compound Mode?

Compound Mode is an innovative feature introduced by BitMax.io that automatically redelegates staking rewards once they are distributed. Users can choose to activate or deactivate this function when performing the delegation or under “Home Page”→"My Staking" at any time. Upon activation, staking rewards will be automatically redelegated once they are distributed.

How to use staked assets in margin trading?

Go to “Account Transfer” under “My Asset,” select the token that represents your staked assets, for example, ATOM-S will be used to represent your staked ATOM, and make a transfer from Cash Account to Margin Account. A percentage discount will be applied to the value of staked asset in the calculation of margin rates. This applies only to assets supported by the platform for margin trading.

How to unstake and stop staking?

Users can either choose Regular Undelegation or Instant Unbonding to unstake their assets:

 

Regular undelegation requires an unbonding period over time, before assets can be fully unlocked, depending on the staking mechanism implemented by the corresponding project. During this unbonding period, staked assets are still in "undelegation" process, which will be shown on "My Staking" page. Users can also view the undelegation process on “History” page. For example, the unbonding period for ATOM is 21 days, the system will show "Pending 15/21" on the 15th day after undelegation attempt.

 

If users choose to unstake via Instant Unbonding, assets can be redeemed instantly without the need to wait for the lengthy unbonding period. This is a service that BitMax.io provides in order to address the liquidity issue of staking, yet a fee will be charged.
