How to farm and stake NFTs at Node Runners?
Your step by step guide
To join our squad of Node Runners you need to own at least one of our Hero NFTs. As you may already know, there are 2 ways of how you can acquire Hero cards — one is to farm them and the other one is to buy them using ETH.
Buy NFTs using ETH
1.) Visit our website and click on ‘Get Heroes’ tab. Once you have connected your wallet you will see all the Heroes and Support cards available for sale. Each card has its own rarity level: common, rare, epic, and legendary, with each level having different strength/defense points. The more points your card has, the higher your rewards will be when staking, have this in mind before purchasing.
2.) Pick your favorite card and click on ETH price underneath the card to purchase it. Simple! Now click on ‘My Cards’ in the navigation bar to check your cards collection — your newly purchased card should be there.
Note: 90% of all ETH received from card sales is used to buy NDR Tokens back from the market and lock them together with ETH in the liquidity pool forever. Also, each card goes up in value with every next sale!
Farm NFTs:
1.) In order to farm NFTs you must first provide some liquidity to our pool on Uniswap by adding NDR/ETH in a 50/50 ratio. If you don’t have any NDR, click on ‘GET NDR’ and buy some on Uniswap. If you already have both NDR and ETH in your wallet, then click on ‘GET UNI-LP’ to add liquidity.
2.) Once you are on Uniswap, click on ‘+Add Liquidity’:
3.) In order to start farming Heroes, you need to have at least 1 LP Token (a minimum required stake), which, at the time of writing this article, is worth $210 (you can check its price in Zerion app). 1 LP Token is a combination of 5.5 NDR and 0.20 ETH, which you should enter in the fields below and click ‘Supply’. After your transaction is verified on Metamask, you should receive 1 UNI-V2 Token into your wallet. This Token is essentially your proof of providing liquidity on Uniswap. Great job!
4.) Now go back to our website’s ‘GET HEROES’ tab, refresh it, and you will see in the table that your NDR/ETH UNI-LP Balance is now equal to 1.
5.) Now it’s time to stake your liquidity. Click on ‘Stake’ on the right hand-side of the table, and input the amount of UNI-LP Tokens you are willing to stake. In this case it is 1. Then click ‘Approve’, confirm on Metamask, then click ‘Stake’ and confirm on Metamask again.
Awesome job comrade, you are now staking your liquidity with us! If you refresh the page again, you will see in the table that your UNI-LP Staked is now equal to 1, and your UNI-LP Balance is now 0.
1 UNI-LP Token is the minimum required stake and will yield you 5 hashes per day. The maximum allowed stake is 22.5 UNI-LP Tokens, which would yield you 100 hashes per day. Once you have accumulated enough hashes, you can exchange them for the Hero you like: common, rare, epic, or legendary. Support cards can only be acquired with ETH.
6.) If, for example, you like Stani Kulechov, click on ‘400 Hash’ and confirm the transaction on Metamask. Now click on ‘My Cards’ in the navigation bar to check your collection — your newly purchased the card should be there.
Staking NFTs
Once you’ve acquired your Heroes, it is time to put them to work — to stake them and earn NDR.
1.) Click on ‘Stake’ in the navigation bar. This is your staking dashboard, where you can stake up to 4 different cards (both Heroes and Support cards).
First you need to click the ‘Approve All’ button, confirm the transaction in Metamask, and then click ‘Stake’ to choose the card you want to stake. Staking rewards are calculated based on the total amount of strength points that you have staked (explained further below).
2.) Say you have staked all 4 Heroes as in the example below:
Total number of points that your staked cards have is 24, which you can see in the table under ‘My Staked Strength’. The whole pool of staked cards amounts to 730 points, so your share of the pool’s rewards is equal to 24 / 730 = 3.28%.
At the time of writing this article, there are 7200 NDR in the staking rewards pool, which will be stretched over the course of 180 days. This makes it 40 NDR per day, and since your share in the pool is 3.28%, your daily reward is 40 x 0.0328 = 1.3 NDR.
3.) At any point, when you feel like you’ve accumulated enough NDR to withdraw it, simply click ‘CLAIM NDR’ and get your well-deserved tokens right into your connected wallet!
Enjoy the farming and staking comrade! In our next guide, we will explain how to fight Villains and win their cards.
