# Staking / Rewards

The SolarWise Own The Sun AG introduces a staking and rewards program that incentivizes SolarNFT holders and offers discounts based on engagement and staking duration. The program is structured to ensure full ownership rights for participants, complying with Swiss regulatory guidelines.

#### Payouts to NFT Holders:

SolarWise OTS ensures transparent payouts to SolarNFT holders through a structured reward system. The new SolarNFT price is $352 USD (excluding a 10% markup fee), with each NFT representing a full solar panel. Staking tiers are based on this USD value to unlock reward.\
\
Unlocking Discounts:\
By staking VeChain ($VET), SolarNFT holders can reduce the administration fee and hereby unlock a higher percentage of rewards. This staking mechanism complies with the regulatory structure laid out in the NAL, ensuring that SolarWise OTS offers legally sound incentives for long-term commitment:

* **Base Reward:**\
  Upon purchasing a SolarNFT, holders receive 19% of the total returns generated by the energy production of the solar panels they own. This base reward corresponds to approximately 2.85% APR and reflects the potential returns generated based on the solar farm's performance.
* **Administration Fee:**\
  An administration fee of 81% is applied to the potential rewards. This fee covers the operational and administration costs associated with managing the solar panels and ensures the ongoing sustainability of the project. This means that without any staking, only 19% of the generated rewards are available for payout.



**Maximum Unlockable Rewards:**\
With full staking (Tier 2), holders can unlock up to 70% of the total rewards, with the remaining 30% covering the administration fee.

**Payouts in $VET:**\
For the first solar farm, payouts will be made in VeChain ($VET), directly to the wallet associated with the SolarNFT. In future phases, FIAT and stablecoin payout options will be introduced, allowing for more flexibility. A monthly payout limit of 1,000 CHF per user will be enforced to comply with Swiss regulations.

**VeBetterDAO and B3TR Token Allocation:**

Now that we're live on the mainnet and listed on VeBetterDAO, SolarNFT holders can start benefiting from weekly $B3TR airdrops. It's important to know that these $B3TR tokens are a bonus on top of the main electricity rewards you'll receive in $VET from owning a real-world solar panel. Unlike other dApps that focus solely on $B3TR rewards, with SolarWise, your $B3TR payouts are fully passive, adding a unique dimension by combining real-world asset ownership with sustainability rewards.

Each week, 25% of SolarWise’s $B3TR allocation will be distributed across different tiers—the higher your tier, the more $B3TR you’ll get. To receive these bonuses, all you need to do is hold and stake your SolarNFT on our platform.

Keep in mind that because SolarWise operates under Swiss regulations and incurs real-world company costs, such as yearly audits and legal structuring, we include a 10% markup on SolarNFTs, which helps cover these expenses and ensures project sustainability. Our platform is more complex and secure compared to other dApps, making it incomparable to those distributing only $B3TR rewards. This approach guarantees balanced rewards while supporting renewable energy expansion and a more sustainable future.

**Future Integration:**\
In the future, SolarWise OTS plans to introduce the $SUN utility token, providing additional opportunities for discounts and rewards. This integration will further enhance the staking program by adding new layers of engagement.&#x20;

The opportunity to earn SUN-XP for a future $SUN airdrop will continue until our launch. After that, all XP will be recorded, and once the $SUN token goes live, participants will receive their airdrop based on the XP they've accumulated.

**Future Staking on SolarWise Website:**&#x20;

SolarWise OTS is developing a DApp (currently on Testnet) that will provide a seamless staking experience directly on the SolarWise platform. The DApp will be user-friendly, enabling SolarNFT holders to easily participate in the staking program, manage their rewards, and unlock tiered discounts. The platform will ensure that all staking activities are transparent, secure, and compliant with the regulations set forth by Swiss law.

**Future Staking Platform Security:**&#x20;

Security is a top priority for SolarWise OTS. The staking platform will employ robust encryption and authentication protocols to protect users' assets during staking and reward distribution. By implementing advanced security measures, SolarWise OTS will ensure the safety and reliability of the staking platform.

**Future Staking Capabilities:**&#x20;

SolarWise OTS offers flexibility in staking SolarNFTs, allowing participants to stake based on their buying strategy. However, Swiss law imposes a monthly limit of 1,000 USD on payouts to any single user, ensuring compliance with financial regulations while offering participants flexibility in managing their staked assets.
