Part 5: Staking and Rewards
Introducing $DADA in a 10-part series – Part 5
Staking site and APY examples
The official DADAMO site provides a staking site that is simple and intuitive to use.
Current staking balance, yield (APY), and reward balance can be checked.
Rewards are designed to be distributed over 10 years, ensuring long-term stability.
Additionally, the whitepaper mentions preferential measures linked to NFTs, which are scheduled to be implemented in the future. Although not yet started, the announcement of benefits for NFT holders is something to look forward to.
Securing staking capital
According to the whitepaper, 290 million DADA over 10 years has been secured as staking capital.
50% is allocated to regular $DADA staking
50% is allocated to NFT staking (details to be announced later)
In this way, a mechanism for providing stable long-term rewards has been established.
Staking status (as of September 2025)
As of September 2025, approximately 80% (32 million DADA) of the circulating supply purchased in the presale and on DEXs has already been staked. Due to this high staking rate,
selling pressure in the market is significantly suppressed, creating a structure that is likely to lead to future price increases.
Restaking strategy
The final return varies significantly depending on whether you 'receive' the staking rewards as they are or 'restake' them.
Strategy 1: Daily restaking
A method of adding the rewards earned each day directly to the principal.
Effective when the compounding effect is maximized and gas fees are low.
Strategy 2: Restaking every two days
Enjoy some compounding effects while keeping gas fees low.
An intermediate strategy that balances risk and cost.
Strategy 3: Weekly Re-staking
Prioritizes saving on gas fees.
Compounding effects are slightly lower, but it still makes a significant difference in the long run.
Relationship between Gas Fees and Compounding (Numerical Example)
Assumptions:
Staking Principal: 10,000 DADA
Assumed APY: 45% (Actual value as of September 2025)
Duration: 1 year
Gas Fee: 0.002 USD per transaction (Base chain)
A. Daily Re-staking (365 times)
Final Balance: Approx. 16,500 DADA
Total Gas Fees: 0.73 USD
Effective Yield: Approx. 65%
B. Re-staking Every 2 Days (183 times)
Final Balance: Approx. 16,200 DADA
Total Gas Fees: 0.37 USD
Effective Yield: Approx. 62%
C. Weekly Re-staking (52 times)
Final balance: approx. 15,800 DADA
Total gas fees: 0.10 USD
Effective yield: approx. 58%
👉 Result: On the Base chain, where gas fees are low, "daily compounding" is the most efficient. However, for long-term investors, "once a week" is sufficient to secure a good yield.
Implications for Investors
Flexibility of choice: You can choose a strategy based on gas fees and your investment style.
Power of compounding: A simple 45% APY grows to an effective yield of over 60% through re-staking strategies.
Integration with NFTs: Details on NFT staking will be announced in the future, which is another factor for investors to look forward to.
Market structure: As of September 2025, approximately 80% of the circulating supply is staked, significantly suppressing selling pressure. The foundation for medium- to long-term price appreciation is in place.
