​
Staking Overview

COM token staking through Streamflow is the primary mechanism for accessing Comput3 Network services without traditional payments. By locking your tokens in Streamflow’s secure staking protocol, you earn credits that can be used for API calls, GPU compute, and media generation.

Continuous Rewards

Earn credits 24/7 while your tokens remain staked in the network.

Flexible Terms

Choose from multiple staking periods with different reward rates.

Instant Access

Start using earned credits immediately after staking confirmation.

Compound Growth

Restake rewards to increase your earning potential over time.

Credit Earning System

​
How Credits Work

Credits are earned continuously while your tokens are staked and can be used to access all Comput3 Network services without additional payments.
Credits earned per day based on staked amount
// Credit calculation formula
dailyCredits = stakedAmount * baseDailyRate * periodMultiplier * tierBonus

// Example: 1000 COM staked for 90 days
dailyCredits = 1000 * 0.4 * 1.5 * 1.0 = 600 credits/day

​
Credit Optimization Strategies

Strategies to earn more credits per staked token
  1. Longer Staking Periods: Choose 90+ day periods for multiplier bonuses
  2. Tier Optimization: Stake amounts that reach next tier thresholds
  3. Compound Rewards: Restake earned tokens to increase base amount
  4. Early Bird Bonuses: Stake during promotional periods
Use credits efficiently to maximize value
  1. Batch Operations: Group API calls to reduce overhead
  2. Off-Peak Usage: Use GPU instances during lower-demand periods
  3. Model Selection: Choose appropriate models for your use case
  4. Caching: Implement caching to reduce redundant API calls
Spread risk across multiple staking positions
  1. Multiple Periods: Stake across different time horizons
  2. Staged Entry: Gradually increase stake over time
  3. Reserve Credits: Keep some credits for unexpected usage spikes
  4. Team Coordination: Coordinate staking across team members
