How you get paid on Vana

Rewards vest over the next Rewards Cycle (21 days) after being granted.
Claim vested rewards incrementally with each block during next Rewards Cycle. Or wait for the entire amount to unlock.
Examples:
Example 1: John earns 2,100 $VANA in Rewards Cycle 1. She claims ~100 $VANA daily for 21 days during the Rewards Cycle 2.
Example 2: Jack earns 1,500 $VANA in Rewards Cycle 1 and waits 21 days to claim the full amount at once at the end of the Rewards Cycle 2.
Example 3: Amy earns 2,000 $VANA in Rewards Cycle 1, claims 1,000 $VANA on Day 10 during Rewards Cycle 2, and the remaining 1,000 $VANA on last day 21 of this Rewards Cycle.
The staking multiplier is a reward booster that increases the longer you keep your $VANA staked. It incentivizes long-term staking by giving your stake more weight in calculating rewards over time.
Starts at 1x: When you first stake in zLayer, your multiplier is 1x (no bonus).
Gradually increases: The multiplier grows over time:
1.5x at Day 21 (1 Rewards Cycle).
3x (maximum) at Day 63 (3 Rewards Cycles).
Example:
If you stake 10,000 $VANA for 63 days, your rewards are effectively tripled for that Rewards Cycle.
Start Early in an Rewards Cycle
Maximize rewards by staking from Day 1 of the 21-day Rewards Cycle.
Commit for Longer
Benefit from the multiplier effect by staking for at least 63 days to triple your reward potential.

Check the future dashboard regularly to ensure zLayer remains in the Top 16.
Can I unstake my $VANA at any time?
Yes, but tokens become accessible after a 7-day withdrawal period. Unstaked tokens during this stage won’t be counted toward further rewards.
What if I forget to claim my rewards?
Unclaimed rewards remain in your account and can be claimed at any time.
