# aPolUSDT/WGSA Staking

🎯**What is aPolUSDT?**

aPolUSDT is an Aave aToken that represents a deposit of USDT (Tether) into the Aave protocol on the Polygon network.

Here's the breakdown:

* a: Prefix used by Aave to indicate *aTokens*, which are interest-bearing tokens.
* Pol: Refers to the Polygon blockchain.
* USDT: The underlying asset, in this case, Tether (USDT).

So, aPolUSDT is the token you receive when you deposit USDT into Aave on Polygon.\
It automatically earns interest, and your balance of aPolUSDT increases over time as you earn yield through the protocol.

#### Example: If you deposit 100 USDT into Aave on Polygon, you'll receive 100 aPolUSDT. Over time, your aPolUSDT balance will grow to reflect the interest earned.

## 💡 **How Does Staking Work in Goblin Saga?**

By staking **aPolUSDT**, users earn **WGSA constantly** while their **aPolUSDT balance grows with the interest generated** by the contract and AAVE.

## **📌 How does it work?**

1. **Automatically Generated Interest:**
   * The contract deposits **aPolUSDT into AAVE**, where it earns interest over time.
   * Interest is distributed proportionally to each user based on their staking position.
2. **Rewards When Unstaking:**
   * When a user **unstakes**, the contract releases their **staked aPolUSDT balance plus the accumulated interest**.
   * In the image, you can see a user withdrawing **1.6 aPolUSDT**, which was their staked balance.
   * Upon unstaking, the contract **automatically distributes the earned interest**.
3. **Interest Distribution:**
   * **80% of the interest** goes directly to the user, increasing their balance and allowing them to earn even more interest.
   * **20% of the interest** stays in the contract to continue generating returns on AAVE and sustaining the system.

### **🔥 Additional Benefit: Bigger Staking, Higher Rewards**

* The larger a user’s staking position, the greater their interest rewards.
* Keeping funds staked for longer increases profitability.
* This system offers a higher return than simply supplying on AAVE, as users receive AAVE interest, WGSA rewards, and automatic reinvestment of earnings.

In summary, this system optimizes passive earnings, allowing users to earn WGSA and more aPolUSDT without moving their funds, leading to exponential growth in their investment.
