A Complete Guide to Staking on the Alpaca Network with Paca Launch

The Alpaca Network introduces Paca Launch, an IMO Launchpad. It’s designed to reward dedicated users with tier-based benefits while maintaining a fair allocation structure for all participants. This guide will walk you through the staking process, staking tiers, how Paca Launch works, and tips to maximize your participation in token launches. Stake here.

What is an IMO and Why Participate?

What is an IMO?

An Initial Model Offering (IMO) is a funding mechanism for AI projects, allowing developers to tokenize their AI models’ revenue streams. IMOs enable investors to benefit directly from the success of AI models by providing tokens tied to a model’s revenue.

Why the IMO Model Matters

Capital is critical for building impactful AI projects. IMOs solve the funding problem by offering a transparent, blockchain-based solution. Tokens created via IMOs, based on the ERC-7641 standard, allow token holders to claim a share of the model’s revenue, creating a direct link between token value and the model’s success.

Unlike traditional funding methods, IMOs:

• Democratize access to AI funding by involving broader communities.
• Provide liquidity through tradable tokens.
• Empower token holders to participate in governance and share in revenue.

Overview of Paca Launch

The Paca Launch uses a Weighted Allocation + First Come First Served (FCFS) system. This system ensures that larger stakers (those with more PACA tokens staked) are rewarded with proportionally higher allocations during future IMO token launches. At the same time, it offers fair opportunities for smaller participants to secure allocations via an FCFS pool. Here’s how it works:

• Weighted Allocation Phase: Stakers are divided into tiers based on the amount of PACA they stake. Higher tiers receive larger guaranteed allocations using a weight multiplier.
• FCFS Pool: Unsold tokens from the weighted allocation phase are offered to all stakers in an open, first-come-first-served round.

• Benefits: Minimum guaranteed allocation, access to FCFS.

Little Paca:

• Required Stake: 400K PACA+

• Weight Multiplier: 2x

• Benefits: Small guaranteed allocation, access to FCFS.

Chief Paca:

• Required Stake: 800K PACA+

• Weight Multiplier: 4x

• Benefits: Moderate guaranteed allocation, access to FCFS.

Elder Paca:

• Required Stake: 2M PACA+

• Weight Multiplier: 10x

• Benefits: Large guaranteed allocation, access to FCFS.

Alpha Paca:

• Required Stake: 4M PACA+

• Weight Multiplier: 20x

• Benefits: Highest guaranteed allocation, access to FCFS.

How to Participate in the Paca Launch

1. Stake Your PACA

• Stake at least 50K PACA (Open Paca) to qualify for the FCFS unsold token or 200k PACA (Baby Paca) for IMO allocation.
• Increase your stake to unlock higher tiers with larger weight multipliers.
• Keep your stake active throughout the sale period to maintain your tier and allocation.

2. Check Your Tier

• Your staking tier is automatically determined by the amount of PACA you have staked.
• You can increase your stake anytime before the sale to move to a higher tier.

3. Register and Participate in Sales

• Register for the token sale when it’s announced.
• Buy your guaranteed allocation based on your tier during the weighted allocation phase.
• Optionally participate in the FCFS round to grab additional tokens if available.

Staking Details: Duration, Lockup, and Incentives

Staking Duration and Lockup

• No mandatory lockup: You can unstake your PACA anytime. However, unstaking during an ongoing sale will forfeit your allocation for that sale.

Staking Incentives

• Gain access to Initial Model Offerings (IMOs) on Paca Launch.

Unstaking Penalties

1. 25% Penalty: If unstaking occurs within 3 days since the last IMO.

2. 20% Penalty: If unstaking occurs between 3 to 7 days since the last IMO.

3. 15% Penalty: If unstaking occurs between 7 to 10 days since the last IMO.

4. 10% Penalty: If unstaking occurs between 10 to 14 days since the last IMO.

5. 0% Penalty: No penalty applies after 14 days since the last IMO.

Example Scenario

Let’s say a project is raising $100,000 and you are an Elder Paca (10x weight multiplier). Here’s what happens:

• During the weighted allocation phase, you receive 10x the allocation of a Baby Paca staker. If the Baby Paca allocation is $100, yours would be $1,000.
• If there are unsold tokens, they go into the FCFS pool, where you can participate on a first-come, first-served basis to acquire additional tokens.

Final Thoughts

By staking your PACA tokens strategically and staying up to date with the network’s announcements, you can make the most of Paca Launch system and secure your share in the growth of new AI projects.
