Staking
Staking on Planck
Planck’s staking architecture is built to power real-world AI infrastructure while offering flexible opportunities for participation and yield generation. Whether you're a GPU operator, token holder, or ecosystem participant, Planck enables you to earn from compute demand through a capital-efficient and reward-aligned staking system.
1. GPU Staking: Contribute Compute, Earn Yield
What It Is GPU staking is the foundation of the Planck network. GPU operators connect high-performance hardware (e.g. H100s, A100s, 4090s) to the Planck network and receive rewards for providing verifiable compute.
How It Works
Operators onboard their GPUs via the GPU Console.
Proof-of-Connectivity (PoC): Earn base rewards for maintaining uptime and availability.
Proof-of-Delivery (PoD): Earn additional rewards when your GPUs are actively utilized by real AI workloads (e.g. training, inference).
Payouts are made in $PLANCK based on a transparent model (see Appendix B in our emissions model).
Why It Matters
You earn from idle and active compute time.
Decentralized compute helps reduce reliance on hyperscalers.
Ideal for professionals, miners, and infrastructure providers.
2. Liquid Staking with LPLANCK: Flexible, Composable Yield
What It Is Liquid staking allows token holders to stake $PLANCK and receive LPLANCK, a yield-bearing, liquid representation of their staked assets. LPLANCK enables on-chain participation without locking up liquidity.
How It Works
Stake $PLANCK and receive LPLANCK at a 1:1 ratio.
Your staked assets earn rebasing rewards over time.
LPLANCK can be used in DeFi protocols, governance, and GPU co-staking.
You can unstake at any time and redeem your original $PLANCK plus accrued rewards.
Why It Matters
Retain liquidity while earning staking rewards.
Participate in future integrations across the Planck ecosystem and external DeFi.
No lockups; flexible and user-friendly.
3. Co-Staking (Delegated GPU Staking): Earn from Infrastructure, No Hardware Needed
What It Is Co-Staking allows LPLANCK holders to delegate their stake to GPU operators and earn from the network’s real compute usage — even if you don’t own hardware.
How It Works
Choose a GPU operator or pool to co-stake with.
Delegate your LPLANCK to support GPU uptime and usage.
Receive a share of PoC and PoD rewards based on your contribution.
High-performing GPUs may offer boosted yields.
Why It Matters
Gain exposure to AI compute returns without owning a GPU.
Support network decentralization and real-world utility.
Align your capital with infrastructure performance.
4. Key Advantages of the New Planck Staking Architecture
Dual Yield Streams: Earn from both emissions and real usage-based fees.
No Lockups: LPLANCK enables composability and freedom across the ecosystem.
Performance-Driven Rewards: Co-stake with high-performing GPU operators for enhanced returns.
Decentralized Governance: LPLANCK holders can vote on protocol decisions and emissions adjustments.
Emission Control by DAO: Reward curves can be dynamically adjusted to meet supply/demand needs.
How to Get Started
GPU Owner? → Set up your machine via the GPU Console and start earning immediately.
Token Holder? → Stake $PLANCK to receive LPLANCK and start earning yield. → Use LPLANCK to co-stake or participate in governance.
Coming Soon
Governance Participation: Use your LPLANCK to vote on emissions, DAO proposals, and network upgrades.
LPLANCK Liquidity Pools: Stake LPLANCK in decentralized liquidity pools across supported DEXs.
DeFi Integrations: Use LPLANCK across Planck-native and external DeFi protocols.
