AIP: Transition From Fixed 30-Day AMI Staking to a Flexible Daily-Reward Staking Model

Proposals
1

I. Abstract

This proposal recommends upgrading the current AMI staking mechanism from a fixed 30-day staking pool with preset rewards to a flexible, continuously accessible staking system. The new structure aims to improve accessibility, stabilize APR, increase liquidity, and strengthen long-term participation across Amnis ecosystem.

II. Motivation

The existing 30-day fixed staking pool limits participation to users who stake within a short monthly window. This results in unusually high APR due to low participation, reduced fairness in reward distribution, and lower liquidity throughout the month. A more flexible, continuous staking mechanism would eliminate these constraints, create a healthier incentive structure, and enable more sustainable ecosystem growth.

III. Specification

1. Flexible Staking

  • Users may stake AMI at any time during the campaign without needing to wait for a new 30-day pool.

  • Optional: introduce soft-lock or variable lock durations to align incentives with Amnis’s staking philosophy.

2. Reward Distribution (amAPT)

Rewards will be calculated based on:

  • Total AMI staked in the pool

  • Individual user’s proportional share

3. Dynamic APR

APR becomes automatically dynamic and adjusts based on:

  • Total AMI staked

  • Size of daily pool

This ensures that APR reflects real market participation and prevents extreme fluctuations.

Implementation Steps

  1. Finalize reward allocation model

  2. Deploy flexible staking smart contract or update existing logic.

  3. Update frontend UI to display real-time APR and user position.

  4. Test on devnet → testnet → mainnet.

  5. Announce new staking model and migrate users.

IV. Benefits and Risks

Benefits

  • Higher Accessibility: Users can stake anytime; no more missed entry windows.

  • Stable and Realistic APR: APR aligns with real participation and avoids unsustainably high returns.

  • Better Liquidity: Users are no longer locked into rigid 30-day cycles, encouraging ongoing engagement.

  • Long-Term Growth: A flexible model supports sustainable TVL growth and stronger token utility.

Risks

  • Requires development time for contract upgrade and UI adaptation.

  • Possible user confusion during transition unless clear communication is provided.

  • Daily reward distribution may require additional backend monitoring.

V. Expected Outcomes

  • Increased number of AMI stakers and greater user participation.

  • Smoother, more balanced APR across all staking participants.

  • Improved user experience through continuous entry.

  • A stronger, more sustainable token ecosystem with long-term alignment.

VI. Cost Summary

  • Development: Smart contract upgrade + UI updates (estimated internally by Amnis).

  • Rewards: Same existing reward allocation.

  • Operational: Minimal marketing or communication cost.

I fully support this proposal. The current 30-day fixed staking model is way too restrictive, and it leaves a lot of users out each month. Moving to a flexible staking pool with daily rewards makes much more sense for a project that’s growing like Amnis.
