💰Staking in Datahub
Datahub offers two types of staking programs:
1. Progressive Collateral Staking
Stake collateral to participate in tasks. This system promotes high-quality contributions and accountability. Staking rules may change based on user behavior.
How Progressive Collateral Works
Here's a practical example using a 20-day campaign where you earn 50 PUBLIC per day:
Days 1–3: Get Started
Stake the minimum: 100 PUBLIC
Contribute and earn normally
No adjustments needed
Day 4: First Adjustment
The formula: Required Collateral = 2 × your daily average earnings
Let's calculate:
Total earned: 50/day × 3 days = 150 PUBLIC
Daily average: 150 ÷ 3 = 50 PUBLIC
Required collateral: 2 × 50 = 100 PUBLIC
✅ Your 100 PUBLIC stake covers you
Day 8: Check-In
Total earned: 50 × 7 = 350 PUBLIC
Daily average: 350 ÷ 7 = 50 PUBLIC
Required collateral: 2 × 50 = 100 PUBLIC
✅ Still covered
Power Contributor Example (200 PUBLIC/day)
Day 4:
Total earned: 200 × 3 = 600 PUBLIC
Daily average: 600 ÷ 3 = 200 PUBLIC
Required collateral: 2 × 200 = 400 PUBLIC
⚠️ Need to add 300 PUBLIC to continue uploading
Day 10:
Total earned: 200 × 9 = 1,800 PUBLIC
Daily average: 1,800 ÷ 9 = 200 PUBLIC
Required collateral: 2 × 200 = 400 PUBLIC
✅ Covered if you topped up to 400

Key Points
Collateral recalculates daily based on your average earnings
Modest earners: your initial 100 PUBLIC stake may cover the entire campaign
Higher earners stake more to match the value they're extracting
Uploads pause if you don't meet the required collateral (can resume after topping up)
Full collateral is returned at campaign end if your data passes review
2. AAR Staking Program
Earn 8% by staking any amount of $PUBLIC.
What is AAR?
AAR (Annualized Average Return) is the rate you'd earn if those rewards ran for a full year. By staking $PUBLIC, you'll earn an 8% annual return on your staked tokens.
How to Stake
Connect your wallet — Use a supported NEAR or BNB wallet on the staking dashboard
Enter your stake amount — Must meet the minimum requirement
Confirm the transaction — Your stake activates immediately
Track your rewards — Monitor your rewards in real-time through your dashboard
Why Stake?

No interest earned during the cooldown period
