Stake $JACKSON, Evolve from Player to Platform Liquidity Provider

March 27, 2026

Platform Overview

Jackson.io is a decentralized game-matching platform responsible for connecting players, licensed game providers, and liquidity providers. All games are supplied by compliant, licensed providers and settled through a liquidity pool mechanism to ensure transparency and sustainability.

Staking Mechanism and Role

Users may stake $JACKSON to become platform liquidity providers (i.e., the house), participating in the overall profit-and-loss distribution of games on the platform. Upon staking, users share 100% of the platform's game P&L on a pro-rata basis, while the platform serves solely as a matching facilitator. This mechanism allows users to transition from being players to becoming platform liquidity providers.

The platform is currently in the Beta 2.0 phase, and no staking fees are charged at this time. As the platform's operational scale expands, overall quarterly returns have continued to grow.

Staking Schedule

Staking operates on a quarterly basis. A staking window opens once per quarter during the month preceding the upcoming quarter, specifically from the 15th to the last day of that month. Users must complete staking within the designated window to participate in the following quarter's P&L distribution.

2026 Q2 — Mar 15 to Mar 31, 2026
2026 Q3 — Jun 15 to Jun 30, 2026
2026 Q4 — Sep 15 to Sep 30, 2026
2027 Q1 — Dec 15 to Dec 31, 2026
2027 Q2 — Mar 15 to Mar 31, 2027
2027 Q3 — Jun 15 to Jun 30, 2027
2027 Q4 — Sep 15 to Sep 30, 2027
2028 Q1 — Dec 15 to Dec 31, 2027

For example, to participate in Q2 2026 profit distribution, users must complete staking between March 15 and March 31, 2026.

Returns and Renewal Mechanism

At the end of each quarter, principal and returns are distributed via airdrop to the wallet address holding the staking NFT. Returns and principal are calculated separately, and there is no automatic compounding.

For example, if a user stakes a principal of 100 and the quarter's return is 10, then 10 will be airdropped to the wallet upon quarter-end, while the principal of 100 may be withdrawn or rolled over to the next quarter.

If a user chooses to continue staking, they may use the original NFT to renew and extend the principal into the next quarter. After renewal, the new quarter's returns are calculated solely on the original principal. The previous quarter's returns are distributed independently and are not combined.

Staking Guide (Step by Step)

Step 1 Purchase $JACKSON
Acquire $JACKSON through Cetus at this link. Please confirm the assets have been deposited into your wallet.

Step 2 Connect Wallet
Click "Connect Wallet," select your wallet, and complete authorization.

Step 3 Access the Stake Page
Navigate to the "Stake" page.

Step 4 Enter Amount and Complete Staking
Enter the amount of $JACKSON you wish to stake, confirm the transaction, and complete the on-chain operation. This must be completed within the staking window.

Step 5 Receive Staking NFT Certificate
Upon successful staking, the system will issue a staking NFT to your wallet. This NFT serves as your sole proof of entitlement. Please keep it safe.

Step 6 Quarterly Settlement and Asset Collection
At the end of the quarter, principal and returns will be airdropped to the address holding the NFT.

Step 7 Renew for Next Quarter (Optional)
Use the original NFT to roll over your principal into the next quarter. Returns will be distributed separately.

Important Notes

Staking is only available during the designated window period. Late submissions will not be eligible for that quarter's distribution. The NFT certificate is the key credential for asset collection and renewal. Please safeguard it carefully. By staking $JACKSON, users participate in the platform's liquidity provision and become part of the P&L distribution, transitioning from a player into a platform participant.
