1. Go to the Pools page here.
2. Connect to your metamask or other preferred wallet wallet by clicking the Connect button (top right-hand side).
3. Choose your wallet and connect.

Below that, you will find a summary of your position, including yield, lock duration, and unlock date and time. Double-check to make sure you are okay with the lock duration and amount staked, click Confirm and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
Changed your mind during the lock staking duration? No problem. You can always extend the time of your locked SHDW by simply clicking "Extend" and choose how much time you want to add on top of the initial lock duration. Remember, the longer you lock, the higher your yield will be boosted. The maximum locking duration is 52 weeks.
A user's new extended lock duration = initial lock duration + added duration
Example:
A user staked 1,438.45 SHDW in fixed-term staking with an initial lock duration of 10 weeks on 7th May 2023.
On 18th June 2023 (6 weeks later, 4 weeks until the user's SHDW unlocks), the user decides they want to add 5 weeks to their lock duration.
1. Navigate to the SHDW Shadow Pool and click Extend.
2. Select the duration you would like to add (5 weeks in this example). Note that your new lock duration will equal your initial lock duration of 10 weeks plus the added 5 weeks for a new lock duration of 15 weeks.
3. Double-check to make sure you are okay with the new extended lock duration and click Confirm.
Please note that you can not shorten the locking period nor withdraw your SHDW prematurely.
You can easily do that by renewing your fixed-term staking position. Simply click "Add SHDW" and choose how much SHDW you want to deposit.
Please note that adding more SHDW to an existing lock resets your staking term based on the remaining lock duration, essentially “renewing” your fixed-term staking position. This results in a lower yield boost because your new lock duration is lower than your initial lock duration.
Example:
A user staked 1,438.45 SHDW in fixed-term staking with an initial lock duration of 10 weeks on 7th May 2023. On 18th June 2023 (6 weeks later, 4 weeks until the user's SHDW unlocks), the user decides they want to add 100 SHDW to locked balance.
1. Navigate to the SHDW Shadow Pool and click Add SHDW.
2. Select the amount of SHDW you would like to add to your locked balance (for this example, we are adding 100 SHDW which is our max wallet balance). Note that your yield boost is lower than the initial yield boost because it is calculated using a 4 week lock duration instead of the initial 10 week lock duration.
2.1. Alternatively, users can check the box next to "Renew and extend your lock to keep similar benefits." to maintain a similar yield boost setting the lock duration equal to the initial lock duration (in this example, 10 weeks).
3. Double-check to make sure you are okay with the added SHDW amount and the lock duration and click Confirm.
ShadowSwap staking pools comes with two staking options: flexible staking or fixed-term staking.
With both, you can simply stake your SHDW tokens to earn more SHDW tokens with no deposit fees. Flexible staking allows users to stake SHDW and earn rewards with the ability to unstake whenever they please. Fixed-term staking allows users to maximise their yield and earn even more SHDW by locking their staked SHDW for a period of time they choose, earning a linearly boosted yield compared to flexible staking.Flexible staking and fixed-term staking are both part of the same pool to allow users easy migration between the two staking options. However, when you do fixed-term staking, there is an option to perform flexible SHDW staking on the side.
Stake your SHDW and forget about it! SHDW rewards will be automatically distributed and included in your staking balance, minus a small fee. If you have SHDW staked in flexible staking
✅ Add more SHDW to flexible staking
✅ Harvest rewards any time
✅ Withdraw any time (fees apply for the first 72 hours, see below)
✅ Convert all staked SHDW in flexible to fixed-term staking
❌ Add SHDW to fixed-term staking if you have any SHDW in flexible staking
❌ Convert part of the staked SHDW in flexible to fixed-term staking
Unstaking fee
0.1% if you unstake (withdraw) within 72 hours.
Only applies within 3 days of manually staking.
After 3 days, you can unstake with no fee.
The 3-day timer resets every time you manually stake more SHDW in the pool.
This fee only applies to manual unstaking: it does not apply to automatic compounding.
Performance fee
2%, subtracted automatically from each yield harvest.
For example, if the harvest were 1 SHDW, then 0.02 SHDW would be subtracted as the performance fee.
The SHDW collected via the unstaking fee and performance fee will be burned every week .This is a good thing for SHDW holders because it reduces the overall amount of SHDW tokens in existence.
Stake your SHDW for a fixed amount of time to maximize yields and receive additional benefits! SHDW rewards will be locked along with the staked SHDW until the staking duration ends.
No performance fees
The longer you lock, the higher the boost applied to the yield! Always offering a higher yield compared to flexible staking!
SHDW rewards will unlock, along with your staked SHDW, when your lock duration expires
Once staked in fixed-term staking, you cannot withdraw until the end of your lock duration.

If you have SHDW locked in fixed-term staking
✅ Add more SHDW to lock
✅ Extend the lock period
✅ Perform flexible staking on the side
❌ Harvest rewards
❌ Withdraw before the lock ends
You can choose from 1-52 weeks. What do you prefer?
Since flexible staking and fixed-term staking options are part of the same pool, the following variables affect the yield% (APR/APY) of both:
Total SHDW staked in flexible staking and fixed-term staking (the sum of both). The more SHDW staked, the lower the APR/APY.
Total locked SHDW in fixed-term staking. The more SHDW locked means more yield boosts, resulting in fewer SHDW rewards for others (especially flexible staking).
The average lock duration of all SHDW locked in fixed-term staking. If the average lock duration increases, APR/APY will decrease.
No. You can harvest the rewards only when the locked duration is ended. This is based on the yield/return we are providing as well as the technical implementations.
Yes. Extending the lock duration adds more time to your initial lock duration. When choosing to extend your lock duration, note:
New extended lock duration = initial lock duration + added duration
No. Your SHDW cannot be removed or withdrawn from fixed-term staking at any point in time until your lock duration ends and your SHDW is unlocked.
The "SHDW Locked" amount is a user's initial locked SHDW balance plus SHDW rewards to date.
SHDW Locked = Initial locked SHDW balance + SHDW rewards
When adding more SHDW to fixed-term staking, the "SHDW to be locked" amount is the user's initial locked SHDW balance, SHDW rewards to date, and the SHDW being added.
Yes, the fixed-term staking SHDW pool APR is variable, just like the old SHDW pools. The fixed-term staking SHDW pool APR is not fixed and is dependent on:
Total SHDW staked in the SHDW pool (the sum of both Flexible + Fixed-Term Staking).
The average lock duration of all SHDW locked in fixed-term staking.
A yield boost (similar to a multiplier) calculated from a user's initial lock duration. The longer you lock your SHDW, the higher the yield boost.
For example, if you lock your SHDW for 52 weeks, your yield boost will be larger than if you lock your SHDW for 26 weeks. The yield boost increases linearly the longer you lock your SHDW.
Yes!
Yes, when you are doing fixed-term SHDW staking. A flexible SHDW staking side-pool will automatically appear for you to choose from.
No. There are no additional fees for moving SHDW from flexible staking to fixed-term staking, only gas fees.
