Q: What is the time frame for the StakeDrop event?
A: The Offering Period is from April 23, 2025, to May 24, 2025, at 8:00:00 UTC+8. Users can freely choose the staking duration based on the relevant levels and multiples of the phase's staking mechanism, or re-stake after canceling. The staking officially takes effect on May 24, 2025, at 8:00:00 UTC+8, and no further staking can be done afterwards. For example, if a user chooses to stake for 120 days, it will be counted from May 24, 2025, until the staking ends on September 21, 2025.
