A Guide to Elitium Staking
The day has finally arrived — after months with our noses to the grindstone, Team Elitium is proud to release our very first product into the wild.
Introducing…. the Elitium Staking Program.
Finally, we can reward you, The Elitium Network, for your patience. And you’ll be pleased to hear, it’s a reward worth waiting for — up to 6.5% for staking the Elitium Luxury Network.
It couldn’t be simpler to grow your balance of EUM, just hold our new staking coin.
Interested? Great!
….let’s dive into what makes the Elitium Staking Program such a compelling proposition.
6.5% Reward—Just For Staking
It is worth repeating: the Elitium Staking Program is very rewarding.
You’ll receive up to 6.5% of your balance for as long as you stake your coins, and we’ll distribute rewards on a weekly cycle.
As yields go that pits Elitium in the higher ranks of the staking chain.
Though the program hides a few secret weapons outside of the 6.5% reward — so, keep reading to learn of the extra benefits on offer.
Keep Control of Your Crypto
Elitium staking is a great way to keep your crypto under personal control.
You’re able to stake your coins on your own private device, meaning you have complete authority over what happens to your coins:
- No leaving funds outside your personal wallet
- No risk of seeing your coins diverted for use elsewhere
- Full access to all the coins you need, whenever you want
…and in just a few clicks, you can be up-and-running.
Simply download a private wallet onto your device; send your coins to your staking wallet; then, sit back as your balance grows — we’ve even built auto-staking into the software.
So, you can maximize your rewards without any extra effort.
Absolute Privacy. Hyper Secure.
We know privacy is important. So, we’ve made it super easy to keep your private key, well, private.
This sensitive information is yours — and yours only — leaving it up to you to decide who can access your funds. Once you’ve passed KYC, you won’t have to share additional information with a third-party.
You can just get on and stake — keeping your personal information, and your coins, 100% secure.
More Eco & Easy-to-use
Aside from the rewards, the reason we chose to create a staking coin is that Proof of Stake (PoS) networks are incredibly energy efficient compared to Proof of Work (PoW).
Proof of Work protocols — like Bitcoin — need vast amounts of energy to mine coins, whereas PoS requires minimal computing power to run (not to mention PoS uses simple software that anyone can download in seconds, giving everyone the chance to start receiving rewards in a few short steps).
PoS isn’t only rewarding for the hodler, it offers a more positive environmental outcome as well.
Existing Coin Ecosystem
Before we delve into our actual staking coin, let’s recap our existing technologies: our ecosystem uses three protocols to power three distinct use cases:
- EUM — our tradable ERC utility coin that’s compatible with most wallets and exchanges (and will become an EOS coin after the release of the dApp—supporting features like customized smart contracts, scalability, and fast settlement)
- EUMX — our native loyalty coin to incentivize platform adoption and engagement
- EUMI — our non-tradeable insurance token that keeps your funds safe in the event of fraud or malicious activity
This combination of coins and tokens creates a valuable offering for traders, hodlers, partners, and members alike. While the use of distinct protocols means we can keep each solution separate, so a breach in one part of the network won’t adversely impact the EUM price.
Still, we wanted to offer a direct rewards system to members as well as to release a product ASAP.
So now, we’ve introduced a fourth staking protocol.
Elitium Staking Coin—EUMS
EUMS is our staking-specific coin paired 1:1 with EUM.
We’ve based EUMS on Quark technology. And it’s a fork of PIVX, which is a fork of Dash, which is a fork of Bitcoin—so, you could say…
EUMS is the great-grandchild of the father of cryptocurrency, meaning it shares the same robust, security-minded feature set of all the best coins that have come before — but that’s not all.
Given the way we’ve built our staking network, EUMS itself has one specific feature that other coins do not.
→ Fake-Stake Resistance ←
So, if you’re still wondering, “Yes, but why did you create a separate staking coin?” Well, here’s the answer….
— As much as we like PoS, every protocol has its shortcomings.
One concern is how cheap it can be to mint a fake block (as well as how little information a user needs to verify it).
This means that while PoS can claim higher security against 51% attacks; its design creates a different vulnerability: a weakness to something known as a Fake Stake Attack.
A Fake Stake Attack happens when a blockchain fails to properly validate network data before committing resources like disk space and RAM. If this happens, an attacker can crash a node by filling up disk space with fake data — and it doesn’t take much of a stake (perhaps none at all) to do so.
This can allow an attacker to mint a stash of coins, then dump them on the market to make a quick profit.
EUMS Creates a ‘Fake-Stake-Resistant’ Network
However, we’ve designed our staking program to be entirely unhackable. How? By introducing a new coin to create a fake-stake-resistant network through the following process:
- Network participants must first pass Elitium KYC
- Only then can they exchange EUM for EUMS
- Only then can they stake a balance of EUMS
- And they must use Elitium to switch EUMS back to EUM to trade
Our combination of coin protocols makes our system one of the most robust there is — as we can both secure the network and prevent bad actors from being able to dump coins.
