Hey Animalians, we hope you&rsquo;ve been well! We bring you glad tidings! Finally, at long last, our Staking article is here! For Sigma members who have been with us since the NFTitan Phase, your incredible patience and diligence is about to pay off! The Crown Staking Feature is expected to go live by the end of November!&nbsp;&nbsp;
Huge reminder for those who supported us during the early private round sales, please note that we have airdropped the NFTitan to you during January 2022, you would not want to miss out the incredible staking feature that we have for you!&nbsp;
Nevertheless, we are grateful to have had your undying support through the thick and thin of the past year!&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Crown Staking&nbsp;
What's exactly at stake here? Does it involve a grill and some prime ribs? No, of course not, but it sure is just as delectable, let us tell you that! Animalia&rsquo;s crown staking model heavily incentivises long term NFTitan staking with bonuses provided so you can also level up your Crown quickly! The longer &amp; the more you stake, the higher your tier and rewards! Do note that the numbers stated in this guide is subject to change, rates may be adjusted as the development progresses.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Crown Tier&nbsp;
In the Animalia Kingdom, only the original 8,700 Titans can embrace themself through channelling their inner energy in their respective Crown. The act of staking your NFTitans is to increase and unlock high crown tiers.&nbsp; Your Titans will channel levels every 24 hours to your Crown. As your total embracing time accumulates, you&rsquo;ll see your Crown achieve new tier levels, thus upgrading your Crown.&nbsp; There is a minimum number of Titan(s) required for each Crown Tier for the users to claim the rewards, refer to the chart below.&nbsp;

Duration Bonus
The act of staking a NFTitan means you will not be able to list it in the marketplace for the duration of time that the NFT is staked, you may still use your NFTitan in-game and it comes with great bonus value. In any case that your Titan is unstaked during the Crown Staking period, duration bonus will be voided and reset.&nbsp;

Embrace Bonus&nbsp;
The rarity of your Ursa &amp; Toro plays a key role in determining the Embrace Bonus Stat. Our system will distribute the bonus stat based on the rarity listed in the <a href="https://raritysniper.com/animalia-titans">Rarity Sniper</a>. However, not all NFTitan comes with bonus stats, only Individual Ursa &amp; Toro Titans ranked Top 500 will be entitled for Embrace Bonus buff.&nbsp;
