Staking Mechanics: Unlocking Alignment, Influence, and Yield
Staking is the foundation of Telgather’s value loop. It converts passive $TOG into power, access, and control—while rewarding players who commit, hold, and engage across the platform.
🔒 1. Core Staking: $TOG → $esTOG
Staking $TOG through the Game Portal mints $esTOG, a non-transferable asset that:
Grants governance voting power
Unlocks Diamond bonus rates and POG reward multipliers
Whitelists players for airdrops, limited Game Passes, and seasonal NFT drops
Enables platform-wide spending discounts
Staking is non-custodial. $TOG remains locked in the smart contract and $esTOG is issued in return.
⏳ 2. Time-Lock Boosters: Increase Your Reward Yield
Players can choose to lock their $TOG for a fixed period to gain higher $esTOG reward multipliers.
30 Days
1.2x
10% of principal
90 Days
1.3x
10% of principal
180 Days
1.5x
10% of principal
Early unlock = penalty burn (sent to Telgather treasury)
Rewards are calculated based on both amount and duration commitment
🎯 Higher lock = higher influence + better benefits.
🔗 3. POG Synergy: Gameplay-Driven Reward Boosts
Telgather introduces staking multipliers based on POG balance.
If your wallet holds more POG at the time of staking or claim, you receive extra staking benefits:
100,000
+5% yield boost
250,000
+10% yield boost
1,000,000
Up to 2x cap
This creates a strategic synergy between gameplay and token staking, encouraging players to earn before they stake.
💡 Delay your POG burn to supercharge your staking outcomes.
