# Stronghold Staking

## House of Titans PFP Staking

You can stake **Titans PFPs** on any Stronghold to unlock a variety of perks.  The number of **Titans PFPs** you can **Stake** is determined by the Stronghold's **Class**.  The following is a list of the bonuses you get from **Staking**:

* Generate **Staking Points** through the **Town Hall Site**
* Unlocks access to **20%** of our **Crypto Mining + $IAG** revenue distributed exclusively to Stronghold holders with **Staking Points**.&#x20;
* Reduce the **Cycle** rate of specific Sites determined by the **Class** of Staked Titans PFP

#### Staking Slots

The **Class** of a Stronghold determines how many *Staking Slots* that Stronghold can accommodate.  This amount *cannot* be changed.  The amount for each **Class** can be found below:

| Stronghold Class | Staking Slots |
| :--------------: | :-----------: |
|     Garrison     |       2       |
|     Fortress     |       5       |
|      Citadel     |       10      |

#### Staking Points Generated

The amount of **Staking Points** generated by the **Town Hall** site each **Cycle** is determined by both the **Quantity** and **Class** of all staked **Titans PFPs.**  The **Town Hall** does not generate *any* **Staking Points** unless at least 1 **Titans** **PFP** is Staked.  Below is a list of each **HoT PFP Class** and the amount of **Staking Points** they add per **Cycle**:

| PFP Class | Staking Points / Cycle |
| :-------: | :--------------------: |
|  Peasant  |       +1 / Cycle       |
| Townsfolk |       +2 / Cycle       |
|  Military |       +3 / Cycle       |
|   Mystic  |       +5 / Cycle       |
|   Royal   |       +10 / Cycle      |
|   Titan   |       +20 / Cycle      |

#### Staking Cycle Reduction

Staking specific **Titans** **PFPs** reduces the **Cycle** rate of certain **Sites** on the Stronghold by a percentage amount.  These reductions apply to every applicable **Site** on the Stronghold, stacking additively for each staked PFP of that Class.  This total **Cycle** reduction can *never* reduce a Site's Cycle Rate to lower than 96-hours (4-days). Below is a chart outlining these values:

| PFP Class | Affected Site(s) | Cycle Reduction (%) | Cycle Reduction (HRs) |
| :-------: | :--------------: | :-----------------: | :-------------------: |
|  Peasant  |    Distillery    |     -1% / Cycle     |        1.2 HRs        |
| Townsfolk |       Mine       |     -1% / Cycle     |        1.2 HRs        |
|  Military |  Fortifications  |     -1% / Cycle     |        1.2 HRs        |
|   Mystic  |   Mystic Guild   |     -2% / Cycle     |        2.4 HRs        |
|   Royal   |        ALL       |     -5% / Cycle     |        6.0 HRs        |
|   Titan   |        ALL       |     -10% / Cycle    |        12.0 HRs       |
