How locking up DIAN earns you KDU rewards, and why longer commitments pay more.
In the Stake widget on the Token Access page, choose a lock duration and stake an amount of DIAN. Your DIAN stays locked for that period, and you earn KDU as a reward — credited as locked KDU, which you release afterward through the Unlock widget. Staking is an on-chain transaction on Polygon Amoy, so a small amount of test MATIC is needed to cover gas.
Five lock tiers are available, each with a different reward rate:
| Lock Duration | Reward Rate |
|---|---|
| Flexible (1 day) | 0.3% APY |
| 7 days | 2% APY |
| 30 days | 7% APY |
| 90 days | 15% APY |
| 180 days | 30% APY |
DIAN is Kardian World's governance and asset token, hard-capped at 5,000,000,000 with zero initial supply. Staking is one of the primary ways citizens put DIAN to work between governance actions — converting a governance holding into a stream of KDU, the token that actually pays for labor, services, and infrastructure inside the world.
Once your lock period ends, your DIAN becomes available again and your earned KDU sits as locked KDU, ready to release through the Unlock widget — either gradually at no cost, or instantly for a 5% DIAN fee.
Go stake your DIAN →DIAN and KDU hard caps and issuance rules are from the Kardian World whitepaper's tokenomics section. Lock-duration reward rates are this staking feature's own testnet parameters.
