Staking NFTs Explained
Prime Numbers Labs pioneered the concept of staking NFTs — NFTs that act as vaults for cryptocurrency tokens. By staking tokens inside your NFT, you earn a share of a monthly reward pool, and your NFT becomes a yield-generating asset.
PRFI ONFTs (Base)
The latest generation of staking NFTs lives on the Base network (Ethereum L2). These are called PRFI ONFTs (Omnichain NFTs via LayerZero).
Each PRFI ONFT has a base multiplier determined by its rarity. By staking $PRFI, you increase your level and added multiplier, which increases your share of the reward pool.
Key differences from the XDC staking NFTs:
The level is computed on-chain from the staked balance (not stored as a separate value)
There is no "Stake in Level" field — only total staked and PRFI needed to reach the next level
The merge system allows you to combine two same-rarity NFTs into a higher-tier NFT
PRFI ONFTs are omnichain — they can be bridged to other chains via LayerZero

Legacy: PRNT Staking NFTs (XDC)
Historical: PRNT Staking NFTs on XDC are the original staking collection and are no longer actively used. The ecosystem has migrated to PRFI ONFTs on Base. These contracts remain on-chain for existing holders.

Staking platform
XDC Staking NFTs (XDC) — Active
Gamified staking vaults on XDC. Each NFT holds psXDC (not raw XDC) and earns XDC rewards based on its rarity and level — offering higher yields than standard liquid staking.

Staking platform
How it works: Get psXDC (liquid-stake XDC or buy on a DEX) → deposit psXDC inside your NFT → level up and earn monthly XDC rewards. Optionally lock your NFT for 1 year for an additional 1.25% APY bonus.
XDC Staking NFTs include a merge feature — combine two same-rarity NFTs to create a higher-rarity one (both originals are burned). This makes the collection deflationary by design. Rewards are paid on the last day of each calendar month.
The collection also includes 15 exclusive handcrafted NFTs with a base multiplier of 2.0 — the highest in the collection.
How Staking Rewards Work
All staking NFTs follow the same core principle:
Stake tokens inside your NFT
Level up as your staked balance grows
Earn monthly rewards proportional to your total multiplier
Claim rewards through the staking platform at the end of each month
Your total multiplier = base multiplier (from rarity) + added multiplier (from levels). A higher total multiplier means a bigger share of the reward pool.
