💸Staking & Lending
Introduction to Staking and Lending
The JamFi platform, powered by the $JAMI token, offers innovative staking and decentralized lending mechanisms, enabling users to earn passive income while supporting liquidity and microloans in South Africa and globally. Staking, available after the $JAMI token listing and presale completion, allows holders to earn platform fees. Lending enables users to become lenders, earning interest from loans. Both processes are automated via Ethereum smart contracts, ensuring transparency, security, and low fees.
Participating in the presale provides early access to staking and lending, allowing users to join as some of the first participants in the ecosystem. Inspired by leading DeFi protocols, our model is tailored for emerging markets, making financial tools accessible to newcomers and attractive to institutional investors.
How Staking Works
Staking on JamFi will launch after the $JAMI token is listed on Uniswap, following the multi-tiered presale. Holders can lock $JAMI in liquidity pools to support platform operations, such as microloan issuance, earning a share of platform fees (0.5%–1% of transactions, e.g., loan issuance or repayment). These fees are automatically distributed to stakers proportional to their pool share. Presale participants benefit by acquiring more tokens at a lower price, boosting their staking returns.
Staking Mechanism
Preparation: Users acquire $JAMI during the presale (via the JamFi website) or post-listing on Uniswap.
Staking: After listing, users connect a wallet to JamFi and lock $JAMI in a liquidity pool via a smart contract.
Income Distribution: Platform fees are collected by the smart contract and distributed weekly in $JAMI, proportional to each staker’s share.
Flexibility: Tokens can be withdrawn after a lock-up period (e.g., 30 days) or reinvested to increase the stake.
Example Return Calculation
Suppose a user buys 50,000 $JAMI during the presale at 2 cents ($1,000) and stakes them post-listing. The liquidity pool totals 2,000,000 $JAMI, with the user holding a 2.5% share. If the platform generates $20,000 in weekly fees, the staker receives 2.5% ($500), or 5,000 $JAMI at a 10-cent listing price. Annual percentage yield (APY) may range from 10% to 30%, depending on platform activity.
Who Are Stakers?
Stakers can be any $JAMI holder, from retail investors to large funds. The minimum staking threshold will be low (e.g., 100 $JAMI, or $10 post-listing) to ensure accessibility. Presale participants gain an advantage by acquiring tokens at a lower price, increasing their pool share and potential returns. Staking suits those seeking passive income without active loan management.
[User] → [Buys $JAMI in presale/DEX] → [Locks $JAMI in pool post-listing] →
→ [Receives weekly fees in $JAMI]How Lending Works
Lending on JamFi allows users to become lenders by providing liquidity for microloans secured by cryptocurrency collateral (ETH, USDT, USDC, etc.). Lenders earn interest paid by the borrowing process, automated via smart contracts to minimize risks and costs. Presale participation grants early access to lending pools, enabling users to join high-yield opportunities from the start.
Lending Mechanism
Registration: Users complete a streamlined verification on the JamFi platform, confirming wallet ownership and minimal transaction history. KYC/AML checks are minimal for accessibility.
Liquidity Contribution: Lenders deposit cryptocurrency into a lending pool, setting loan parameters such as the minimum interest rate or loan term.
Loan Issuance: Borrowers apply for loans by providing crypto collateral (130% of the loan amount). Smart contracts automatically assess the collateral and disburse funds.
Income: Loan interest is distributed to lenders proportional to their pool contribution. In case of default, collateral is automatically liquidated to cover losses.
Example Lender Return
A lender deposits 100,000 $JAMI ($10,000 at 10 cents) into a pool, representing 20% of a $50,000 pool. The pool issues $200,000 in loans at 10% annual interest, generating $20,000 in interest yearly. The lender receives 20% ($4,000, or 40,000 $JAMI), yielding 40% annually. Presale buyers at 2 cents amplify returns due to token price growth.
Who Are Lenders?
Lenders can include:
Retail investors with basic crypto experience, holding $JAMI or other assets.
Institutional investors, such as crypto funds, seeking high-yield microfinance opportunities.
Kenyan entrepreneurs, diversifying income by investing in local loans.
Presale participants, gaining priority access to lending pools for higher returns.
Lending Flow:
[Lender] → [Deposits crypto in pool] → [Smart contract issues loan with collateral] →
→ [Lender receives interest in crypto]Risk Mitigation
For Stakers: Price volatility of $JAMI is mitigated by flexible withdrawal options and pool diversification. Smart contract transparency prevents fraud.
For Lenders: Default risk is minimized by over-collateralization (130% of loan value) and automatic liquidation.
Security: Smart contracts will be audited by firms like Chainalysis, and partnerships with WapiPay and SolarisBank ensure regulatory compliance and transaction safety.
Economic Model
Platform Fees: 0.5–1% of transactions (loan issuance/repayment) feed staking pools.
Loan Interest: 10-30% annual return depending on the platform's load, distributed to lenders, with 10% allocated to platform operations.
Projected Returns: 10-30% APY, based on platform activity and market conditions.
Presale Advantage
The $JAMI presale allows early investors to acquire more tokens at a lower price, maximizing staking and lending returns. For example, $1,000 at 2 cents buys 50,000 $JAMI, worth $5,000 at listing, plus staking/lending income. The seed round funded initial development, and the presale attracts institutional investors for scaling.
Ecosystem Integration
$JAMI connects staking and lending to other JamFi features, such as payments for goods and services with partners like AgriTech Solutions. Future DAO governance will allow stakers and lenders to vote on platform decisions, like fee allocation or new pools. Integration with WapiPay will enable $JAMI for cross-border payments, enhancing its utility.
Getting Started
Presale: Buy $JAMI via the JamFi website for early access.
Staking: Post-listing, connect a wallet to JamFi and lock $JAMI in a pool (If you are a presale participant and you locked your tokens within the first month after the first unlock, you will receive an additional 10% to your annual return in the form of an airdrop).
Lending: Complete verification, deposit crypto, and set lending parameters.
Support: Guides and a mobile app will assist newcomers.
