# Staking Mechanics

Stake PRFI tokens inside your NFT to earn rewards. The NFT's value and earning potential grow as it levels up.

***

## How It Works

### 1. Stake PRFI

Deposit PRFI tokens into your NFT. This increases the NFT's level and activates its reward multiplier.

### 2. Earn Rewards

Your NFT earns from multiple sources:

| Source                | Description                                             |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| **PRFI Rewards Pool** | 100,000 PRFI distributed monthly across all staked NFTs |
| **NFT Royalties**     | Share of PrimePort marketplace royalties                |
| **PrimeFi Profits**   | 40% of PrimeFi protocol profits                         |

### 3. Level Up

As you stake more PRFI, your NFT progresses through levels (1–20). Each level increases the **added multiplier**, boosting your share of the reward pool.

## Multiplier System

| Component            | Description                                 |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| **Base Multiplier**  | Set by the NFT's rarity tier (fixed)        |
| **Added Multiplier** | Increases as the NFT levels up (1–20)       |
| **Total Multiplier** | Base + Added - determines your reward share |

## Interface Actions

| Action             | Description                                                                                                                         |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Stake**          | Deposit PRFI into the NFT to earn rewards and level up.                                                                             |
| **Get Surplus**    | Withdraw PRFI above 41,490 for free once the NFT reaches max level.                                                                 |
| **Burn to Redeem** | Destroy the NFT to withdraw all staked PRFI.                                                                                        |
| **Transfer**       | Move the NFT to another wallet.                                                                                                     |
| **Withdraw PRFI**  | Remove PRFI below the 41,490 threshold. A 20% fee applies, redistributed to other holders. Use **Get Surplus** first to avoid fees. |
| **Claim PRFI**     | Claim monthly rewards.                                                                                                              |
| **Sell**           | List or auction the NFT on [OpenSea](https://opensea.io/collection/primenumbers-prfi-onft) (Base).                                  |
| **Merge**          | Combine two same-rarity NFTs into a higher-rarity NFT.                                                                              |

## Growth

As your NFT levels up, it earns a progressively larger share of the reward pool. Rewards are available at the end of each month and contribute to the long-term value of your NFT.
