Unlock the Power of xVITA

Staking VITA transforms your tokens into xVITA, unlocking governance rights, protocol revenue sharing, and enhanced rewards. Join the community of long-term aligned participants building the future of DeFi on NEAR Protocol.

Prerequisites

Before you begin staking, ensure you have:
  • A NEAR-compatible wallet connected (supports 23 different wallets)
  • VITA tokens in your wallet (18 decimals)
  • Small amount of NEAR for gas fees (~0.1 NEAR)
  • Understanding of the xVITA system
Vita doesn’t currently have an SDK. Use the web interface or direct contract calls.

Common Questions

No minimum amount, but consider gas costs. We recommend at least 100 VITA for efficiency.
Yes! You can stake instantly anytime. Unstaking requires either a 15-day cooldown or accepting a redemption penalty for faster access.
Rewards accumulate and can be claimed anytime. They don’t expire, but only staked xVITA continues earning new rewards.
Both VITA and xVITA use 18 decimals precision, not 24 like NEAR. Make sure to use the correct decimal places in your calculations.
