## YieldBox Staking

### (Automatic, No Action Required by Investor)

With the new and better logic of Yield-Keys, wallet space is not limited. Investors can compound, but YieldBoxes would not be active until a Yield-Key is added.

YieldBox Staking allows investors, who create YieldBoxes that are not paired with a Yield-Key, to receive staking rewards automatically for the first 60 days from the day of creation.

### Benefits for Investors

* Receive 10% of regular rewards for 60 days from the day of creation without the need to purchase a Yield-Key, nor the need to pay any monthly fee.
* YieldBox Stakers will automatically entered into a whitelist for the next round of Yield-Key minting.

### Protocol Benefits

* Reduce selling pressure of the VALI token.
* Decrease the barrier of entry for new investors which increases buying pressure of the VALI token.
* Increase sustainability.

### What Does This Mean For New Investors

New investors who have not been able to acquire a Yield-Key will now be able to purchase YieldBoxes and start generating YieldBox Staking rewards without any fees. In doing so, they will also receive a whitelist spot for the next minting of Yield-Keys.

### What Does This Mean For Current Investors

Investors can now compound and start earning YieldBox Staking rewards without having to purchase a Yield-Key, nor pay the monthly fee. In doing so, they will also receive a whitelist spot for the next minting of Yield-Keys.
