# BEEKEEPER: Long-Term Staking & Reward Generation

BeeKeeper allows users to stake their HONEY tokens for predefined durations to earn periodic rewards in PLS.

Key Mechanics:

1\. Staking Options

     ○ Users can stake any amount of HONEY.

     ○ Minimum staking period: 69 days

     ○ Maximum staking period: 1,869 days

2\. Reward Intervals

Rewards are distributed at three distinct intervals for active stakers:

     ○ Every 9 days

     ○ Every 81 days

     ○ Every 243 days

3\. HoneyComb Elite Ticket Eligibility

     ○ Users who stake in multiples of 10,000 HONEY tokens for the maximum

duration (1,869 days) qualify for HoneyComb Elite Tickets.

     ○ 1 ticket is awarded per 10,000 HONEY locked for the max duration.

4\. Reward Distribution Visibility

     ○ Rewards are not distributed automatically.

     ○ Once the distribution is triggered on the Nectar Burn page, the rewards are:

          ■ Calculated and reflected on the Harvest page

          ■ Available for claiming by users from either the BeeKeeper or Harvest

interface.
