How Aether Staking Rewards Work
- Every fee splits in two. Aether takes 5% of the fees your positions earn and 0.25% of each swap. Half goes to stakers, half to the buyback reserve.
- Rewards stream over 7 days. Each fee that comes in is released evenly over the next 7 days, and each second's release is shared by everyone's weight: stake times loyalty boost.
- You earn for the time you're in. Staking right before a big fee lands only earns the seconds you stay, so long-term stakers keep their fair share.
- The longer you stay, the more you earn. Your share is your stake times a loyalty boost that starts at 1x and rises steadily to 3x after 180 days. Adding AETHER starts the new part at 1x without resetting the rest. Unstaking part keeps the boost on what stays.
- No lockup. Unstake whenever you like and keep everything you earned. Unstaking everything resets your boost.
- Always paid in HYPE. Fees that come in other tokens are swapped to HYPE every few hours before they're streamed.
- The other half burns AETHER. The buyback reserve is spent on buying AETHER and burning it.

Aether Staking FAQ — Stake AETHER, Earn HYPE on Elysium
Answers about AETHER staking, HYPE reward distribution, the loyalty multiplier, unstaking and Aether token buybacks.
What is Aether Staking on Elysium?
Aether Staking lets AETHER token holders stake on Elysium and share in fees generated by Aether. Staking rewards are distributed in HYPE, while a separate share of protocol fees supports AETHER buybacks and burns.
How do I stake AETHER tokens?
Open the Stake section, connect an Elysium-compatible wallet, enter the AETHER amount and confirm the staking transaction. You need AETHER for the deposit and HYPE to pay network gas fees.
How do I unstake AETHER?
Switch to Unstake, choose an amount and confirm the transaction in your wallet. The staking system described on this page has no fixed lockup period, so users can unstake at any time.
What rewards can AETHER stakers earn?
AETHER stakers receive HYPE sourced from a share of Aether fees. Rewards depend on protocol activity, the total reward weight of participants and how long your AETHER remains staked; they are not a guaranteed fixed yield.
How are Aether staking fees distributed?
According to the staking mechanics shown here, Aether takes 5% of the fees earned by liquidity positions and 0.25% of each swap. Half of Aether’s fee share is allocated to stakers, while the other half goes to an AETHER buyback and burn reserve.
How long does it take to receive HYPE staking rewards?
New staking rewards stream evenly over seven days rather than paying all at once. Your share accrues over time based on your stake and loyalty multiplier, and accrued rewards can be claimed when available.
What is the Aether staking loyalty boost?
The loyalty boost multiplies staking reward weight. It starts at 1x and gradually increases to 3x after 180 days of staking. Reward weight is calculated from the amount of AETHER staked and its applicable loyalty boost.
Does adding more AETHER reset my loyalty boost?
No. Newly added AETHER begins with its own 1x multiplier, while the AETHER already staked retains its accumulated boost. This rewards existing staking time without applying it retroactively to new deposits.
What happens to the loyalty boost if I unstake?
Partially unstaking preserves the accumulated boost on the AETHER that remains staked. Completely unstaking resets the loyalty boost, so a later new position starts again at 1x.
Can I claim HYPE rewards without unstaking AETHER?
Yes. The staking mechanism separates earning and claiming HYPE from withdrawing AETHER. You can claim accrued rewards while keeping your tokens staked, subject to available rewards and network fees.
What is AETHER buyback and burn?
Half of Aether’s fee share is allocated to buying AETHER and burning the purchased tokens. The mechanism is intended to reduce token supply over time, but it does not guarantee token price appreciation.
Is Aether Staking on Elysium risk-free?
No. AETHER token prices can move sharply, HYPE rewards vary with trading activity, and smart contracts, wallets and the Elysium network carry technical risks. Review the protocol mechanics and any independent security information before staking.
