This encourages longer-term staking and reduces circulating supply by locking up tokens for extended periods. ## Optional Auto-Compounding Mechanism Eden offers an optional auto-compounding feature where staked rewards are automatically reinvested into the users stake, growing the user's overall staking position. This creates a snowball effect where the longer someone stakes, the more their position grows, increasing future rewards. This is attractive to users looking for passive, long-term growth. However, tokens that are auto-compounded into an existing stake will not receive new E-Rank Bonuses, only new stakes can receive E-Rank Bonus. One of the primary goals of the Eden Protocol is to become hyper-deflationary fast. If the protocol were to provide additional bonuses for auto-compounding unneeded inflation will occur and dilution of the existing Staker class. ### Further Details Regarding the Auto-Compounding Feature It’s important to note that **only Eden tokens** are staked. If a User decides to Auto-Compounded their TitanX Rewards back into the Existing Eden Stake the process is as follows: * First, the Smart Contract takes the **TitanX Rewards** and uses them to Buy **Volt** from the **Volt/TitanX** liquidity pool on Uniswap V3. * Next, the Smart contract uses **Volt** and Buys **Eden** from the **Eden/Volt** liquidity pool Uniswap V3 * Lastly, the newly purchased **Eden tokens** are then added to your E**xisting Eden Staking Position** by the Smart Contract. * This increases the **number of Eden tokens staked**, allowing for a **larger staking position** that will yield even more **TitanX** rewards in future payout cycles. #### Summary of the Process: * **TitanX rewards** are **automatically converted** into **Eden tokens** by buying from the **Uniswap V3 liquidity pools**. * These **Eden tokens** are then **added to your existing Eden stake**, thereby increasing the size of your stake. * This **larger Eden stake** will then generate more **TitanX rewards** over time, creating a **compounding effect**. This process ensures that users can passively grow their Eden staking position. ## **No Penalties for Late Claims** Unlike many DeFi protocols, Eden does not penalize users for claiming rewards late. This feature ensures flexibility and fairness for all participants while still incentivizing longer staking periods.
