# aPolWMATIC/WGSA Staking

🎯 **What is aPolWMATIC?**

aPolWMATIC is an interest-bearing token generated by the AAVE protocol when you deposit POL into its platform. This token represents your share in AAVE's liquidity pool and accrues interest generated by lending and other activities within the protocol. By staking aPolWMATIC in Goblin Saga, you not only maintain exposure to AAVE's interest but also earn additional rewards in WGSA Tokens.

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

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

## **📌 How does it work?**

<figure><img src="/files/nURHdurevqoUZsfuazyv" alt=""><figcaption><p>Interest distribution on unstaking Aave Polygon (aPolWMATIC)</p></figcaption></figure>

1. **Automatically Generated Interest:**
   * The contract deposits **aPolWMATIC 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 aPolWMATIC balance plus the accumulated interest**.
   * In the image, you can see a user withdrawing **1.6 aPolWMATIC**, 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 aPolWMATIC without moving their funds, leading to exponential growth in their investment.

* The contract distributes interest proportionally to each user based on their stake.

In summary: With this system, you earn WGSA tokens and more aPolWMATIC without moving your funds, optimizing your passive yield.

* **Liquidity and Stability:** The 20% of generated interest is allocated to the GSA liquidity pool, ensuring a stable and liquid market for token exchanges.
* **Security and Transparency:** The smart contract is audited and uses security mechanisms like ReentrancyGuard and AccessControl to protect your funds. All transactions are transparent and verifiable on the blockchain.
