Adjustment of Trojan & iliad regular staking APY from April 11

5 min readFeb 10, 2023

Dear Aresians, Ares Protocol has gone live on the mainnet and is currently adapting and upgrading its existing products. The team has decided to make changes to the Trojan & iliad regular staking. From 11 April 2023, the new round of regular staking will be based on the latest APY, ranging from 20% — 40%.

Until 11 April, all returns will still be calculated at the existing APY and you will be able to withdraw your award at any time. Withdrawals of the principal will be allowed after the completion of the ARES staking term of your choice. If you do not withdraw your rewards in time by 11 April, all your rewards will be affected and they will all be calculated at the latest APY.

To ensure your return on earnings, it is important that you withdraw your rewards by 11 April. In the meantime, you can opt for the higher APY mainnet Odyssey staking, currently at 91.4% APY!

Regular staking Adjustment APY

Starting from 11 April, the regular staking product will remain in 5 tranches, namely 60 days, 120 days, 180 days, 270 days, and 360 days. The APYs will be adjusted to 20% for 60 days; 25% for 120 days; 30% for 180 days; 35% for 270 days and 40% for 360 days respectively.

This adjustment to regular staking requires users to take out their previous rewards instantly, and from 11 April, rewards will be calculated at the latest APY. If you wish to participate in the new term staking, please confirm the relevant contract address at:
