FAQ
Everything you need to know about UdonFi’s Liquid Staking for CHR (stCHR).
Q: What is stCHR?
A: stCHR is a Liquid Staking Token (LST) created by UdonFi. When you stake your CHR through UdonFi, you receive stCHR — a token that represents your staked CHR and continuously accrues staking rewards. You can use stCHR in DeFi activities (such as supplying or farming) while still earning staking yield.
Q: How is staking via UdonFi different from staking directly on Chromia Vault?
A:
Token received
None (locked CHR)
stCHR (liquid token)
Liquidity
Locked for 14 days
Freely usable
Rewards
3% APR + validator fees
Auto-reflected in stCHR value
Unstaking
14-day delay
Same 14-day rule
Use in DeFi
❌ No
✅ Yes, stCHR usable in DeFi
UdonFi adds liquidity to your staked CHR — giving you both staking rewards and the ability to use your capital elsewhere.
Q: What happens when I stake my CHR on UdonFi?
A:
Your CHR is transferred to a dedicated staking account that UdonFi creates for you on the Chromia Economy Chain.
That account stakes your CHR on your behalf.
You receive stCHR in your wallet — representing your staked CHR.
Rewards in CHR are automatically distributed daily to that staking account.
You can track this account on the Chromia Wallet or Account UI, though it’s non-accessible (for security reasons).
Q: How much can I earn?
A: Stakers earn approximately 3% APR in native CHR, plus a share of network fees from the validator they delegate to. The total reward rate varies depending on:
Network size and validator occupancy
Cluster performance
Your share of total delegated CHR
Q: Are there any fees?
A: Yes — UdonFi applies a small operational fee:
Staking fee: 0.3% of the staked CHR amount → Example: Stake 100 CHR → receive 99.7 stCHR (0.3 CHR used as fee).
Unstaking fee: 0.3% of the redeemed CHR (after the 14-day unstaking period).
These fees support validator operations and protocol maintenance.
Q: How long does unstaking take?
A: Chromia’s native network requires a 14-day unstaking period. During this time:
Your CHR is locked and not earning rewards.
After 14 days, your CHR is automatically released to your wallet.
UdonFi follows the same unstaking rule as the Chromia Vault.
Q: Is stCHR always equal to 1 CHR?
A: Not exactly. The value of stCHR gradually increases compared to CHR as staking rewards accumulate. Over time, 1 stCHR = 1.x CHR, reflecting the rewards earned by your staked CHR.
Q: How do I view my rewards?
A: Go to: https://udon-frontend-seven.vercel.app/staking?tab=reward
You’ll see:
Upcoming Rewards – Next daily rewards to be distributed.
Accumulated Rewards – Total CHR earned.
Claim History – Historical reward distribution.
Rewards are automatically sent to your staking account — no manual claiming is required.
Q: Can I access the staking account UdonFi created for me?
A: No. The staking account is non-custodial and programmatically managed by UdonFi to stake on your behalf. You can view it on the Chromia Economy Chain Explorer, but you cannot transfer or withdraw directly from it. This ensures transparency and security.
Q: Can I use stCHR in other DeFi protocols?
A: Yes. stCHR is a Liquid Staking Token that can be integrated into other DeFi applications — such as lending, borrowing, or liquidity pools. As the UdonFi ecosystem grows, more integrations will become available.
Q: Can I earn extra rewards for staking on UdonFi?
A: No, UdonFi does not currently offer additional incentive rewards for staking. Your yield comes solely from Chromia’s native staking rewards and validator fee sharing.
