</aside>

Who Can Stake

• Trench members with subscriptions to a community can stake $ALTT into that community pool.

Type of Staking

• All staking is flexible. Users can stake and unstake anytime they want.

Trench Staking Pool Rewards

Rewards in a Trench pool come from Trench Owners sharing a chunk of the revenue they make in wETH. This wETH is converted into $ALTT and deposited into the community pool to be distributed as rewards to Trench Members who are staking $ALTT.

Trench Owners contribute to the community pool through:

1. Trench Subscriptions: 12% of every subscription paid to a Trench Owner through Altcoinist is automatically contributed to their Trench Pool for rewards.
2. Manual Giveaways: Trench Owners have the option to manually “top-up” their pool with additional $ALTT as an extra giveaway to their Trench stakers. (coming soon)
3. Brand Deal Requests: 12% of the revenue from any brand deal a Trench Owner makes through Altcoinist is shared into their Trench pool. (coming soon)

</aside>
