A. Staking

Participating in Sure9 staking means you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted all the terms of the staking, and you acknowledge and agree that you will be subject to the regulations of the staking terms and are willing to comply with the terms. If you do not understand or accept all the terms of the pledging financing, please do not participate in this activity.

B. How to participate in lock-up staking

Once you subscribe, you agree that:

1. Sure9 staking all or part of the assets you staking; Sure9 may act as a validator on the applicable network; and entrusts the operator to use your staking assets for voting rights.
2. The minimum amount of staking assets required to purchase the pledging product or any purchasing restrictions. Your agreement cannot be revoked until the staking ends.

C. Staking reward calculation method

Staking rewards:

1. Accumulate from the day after the subscription (reward calculation day). Staking rewards accumulate every day and are calculated based on the number of days, with 365 days as one year. You will not earn any staking rewards on the first day of subscription.
2. Daily rewards will be distributed to your fund wallet between 00:00-08:00 (GMT+8) on the day of calculation, based on the staking interest rate accumulated on the same day; distributed in USDT.
3. Staking rewards and their calculation methods are rounded down to the nearest integer without exception.
4. Sure9 reserves all on-chain rewards. The amount may differ from the staking reward.

D. Calculation method for changing staking interest rates

1. Changing staking interest rates are posted on the website and may change from time to time.
2. Sure9 cannot guarantee that the staking rewards you actually receive can be calculated based on the changing staking interest rate displayed at the time of purchase. The statements regarding potential profits at the time of purchase are (i) estimates that cannot be guaranteed, and (ii) calculated based on changing staking interest rates, which may change at any time.

E. Redemption

1. You can redeem before the staking settlement date, but the profit already received and a 10% handling fee on the staking amount will be deducted.
2. After the settlement date (exchange date), Sure9 may allow you to redeem the staking currency in USDT.

F. Termination, suspension, or cancellation of access rights

In the following situations, Sure9 may terminate, suspend, or cancel your platform access rights, impose restrictions on any Sure9 account, suspend or cancel your participation in pledging financing, or delay specific transactions:
