With **Blood Sharks staking**, you can put your `$USDC` to work in a **secure, transparent and traceable** way, directly within the official app. \
The objective is simple: **you lock your funds, we make them grow for you.**

***

### **⚙️ How it works**

1. **Deposit your `$USDC`**\
   Transfer the amount you wish directly within the Blood Sharks app.
2. **Activate staking**\
   Access the **"Staking"** section of the app and choose the amount to stake.
3. **Lock period: 365 days**\
   Once activated, your capital will remain locked for exactly **one year.**\
   During this period, it will generate **automatic rewards** based on the expected return.
4. **Claim your profits**\
   At the end of the **365** days, you can **withdraw your initial capital plus the accrued rewards** directly in the app, in a single simple and secure operation.

### **📈 Returns**

Blood Sharks offers **two** return levels based on your rank:

| Rank                  | APY     |
| --------------------- | ------- |
| All users             | **6%**  |
| Bronze rank or higher | **21%** |

{% hint style="info" %}
**Example: 1,000** `$USDC` staked at **Bronze rank** → **1,210** `$USDC` after **12** months.
{% endhint %}

The more active you are in the ecosystem and the higher your rank, the more your capital earns. One more reason to climb the leaderboard.

All rewards are generated **sustainably** through **diversified yield management activities**, **controlled pools** and **low-risk strategies** supervised by our team.
