Idea: Repaying ETH fees from FX staking (until mainnet)

I would like to ask the Pundix team to consider repeating the same concept they did earlier:

Repay the ETH fees from staking FX - from now until the FX mainnet is launched.

This could potentially launch a decentralized FX blockchain before mid June and present a solution to the problems concerning the claim fees and upcoming deadline.

I would love to stake more FX to help launch the mainnet but I’m no whale. The only thing holding me back is the ETH fees. I don’t think I’m the only one.

I like the idea but I’m afraid it somewhat defeats the purpose of getting the community familiar with the whole decentralised staking idea. I’ve looked into some data yesterday for etherscan contract transactions and the fees seem to be slightly lower.

While some fees seem high, they definitely decreased since the peaks of 1.5k$+ fees for get reward calls. Good timing when the ETH network is less congested is crucial.

Maybe noob question…

… but when i use advanced option during the claiming, i can adjust the gasprice (fee) and gas limit to, for example 10 gwei manual.
So way less fee price.
Will this work? Or wil the transaction be be lost or cancelled or something?

Well when it comes to 10 gwei, probably lost; example

Here’s another example with 84 gwei that went through (with appropriate gas limit settings)

Here’s another example with 100 gwei that ran out of gas

This is the contract where you can check individual transactions and their fees based on their type.

Crazy cheap gas right now, maybe someone find this useful

With all do respect - I don’t think making anybody pay $300-500 in fees teaches anything about DeFi or staking. I can say for myself that the only thing I’ve learning so far is that ETH sucks! :joy:

If we wants to teach about staking, I think it’s wiser to do an in app tutorial. :wink:

Also: Thank you for the post about the cheap tx opportunity. Missed it but I will keep an eye out for this in the future and claim my tokens as cheap as possible before mid June. Better claim cheap and early than last minute and crazy expensive… :+1:

I waited for the fee’s to be under $200 and did both first claims expecting the fee’s total to be closer to a total of 350-380 usd, I always set to fast and the total fee’s ended up to be closer to 275 usd, the fee’s where on a reducing cycle so they probably dropped while i was in the the process, basic’s of what I’m saying is look for lower fee time but try to do it the reducing cycle, my claim was for 2500 fx so I was not to concerned to fee’s but i hope this is helpful for those with less.

I was under the impression that the APY’s offered were to cover the excessive gas fees until Mainnet; Im probably wrong but; Ask my wife….
