About Stake:

What is cWFIL

cWFIL is a cryptocurrency token created to symbolize staked or deposited tokens used as collateral to back the Filecoin storage network. The token is built on the decentralized finance protocol HashMix and serves as a liquidity token. Users can stake FIL into the HashMix smart contract on FVM and receive roughly 1:100 cWFIL tokens in exchange. These tokens can be traded, exchanged, borrowed against, or utilized for other liquidity purposes

How to get cWFIL

FIL Holders will receive cWFIL in their wallet right after they staked FIL successfully on HashMix FIL Liquid Staking Protocol: https://fvm.hashmix.org/

How to exchange cWFIL to FIL

By simple ‘Unstake’ FIL on HashMix FIL Liquid Staking Protocol, cWFIL in your wallet will be directly exchanged into FIL. Or you can swap cWFIL for FIL on DEXs in the future.

Why can't I see my cWFIL in my wallet?

If you are unable to see cWFIL in your wallet, it may be because the contract address for cWFIL has not been added to your wallet. To resolve this issue, you can add the contract address by connecting your wallet to the fvm.hashmix.org page and clicking the '+' sign on the page, then you can see your cWFIL in your wallet.

Where do my earnings come from?

Earnings are the interest of the loan. The storage provider borrows FIL from HashMix and uses FIL to continue sealing, thereby generating FIL income. SPs will pay FIL as the loan's interest, which is the income of HashMix stake users.

Can I unstake at any time?

As long as there is available liquidity in the Staking Pool, users can unstake their FIL tokens without any temporal constraints. HashMix FIL Liquid Staking Protocol features an interest rate model that is determined by the market's supply and demand dynamics. This model is meticulously designed to maintain equilibrium between supply and demand, ensuring ample liquidity within the Staking Pool. The Staking Pool has a maximum utilization rate of 90%. This implies that Storage Providers (SPs) cannot borrow from the pool once the utilization rate reaches this threshold. Such a restriction aids in safeguarding the liquidity of the HashMix staking pool. Nonetheless, it is essential to bear in mind that there may still be instances where users encounter difficulties with unstaking due to high redemption pressure. During such scenarios, users will need to exercise patience until new liquidity enters the pool. By maintaining confidence in Filecoin, any temporary redemption pressure can be alleviated.
