# Soneium Genesis Campaign

Neemo Finance is excited to introduce Soneium Genesis, a campaign hosted by top-tier [Soneium](https://soneium.org/) projects, where you can provide liquidity and earn rewards once Soneium mainnet goes live. This initiative provides nrETH/nsASTR and ETH/ASTR holders with new opportunities and actively contributes to the growth of the Soneium ecosystem.

**Purpose:** The Soneium Genesis Campaign allows users to earn rewards and points by providing liquidity of nsASTR/nrETH and the equivalent pair assets to partner DeFi protocols. This initiative incentivizes participation in Soneium’s ecosystem while fostering collaboration with various partner protocols, enhancing user benefits and ecosystem growth.

**Earning Rewards/Points:** The rewards from the Soneium Genesis Campaign can be redeemed from day1, while the points earned are exchangeable for tokens after the participating projects during their respective Token Generation Events (TGEs).

**Goal:** The goal of the Soneium Genesis Campaign is to incentivize early adopters to actively participate in the ecosystem by providing liquidity to nsASTR/nrETH and paired assets through partner DeFi protocols. This initiative aims to enhance liquidity, foster collaboration with partner projects, and drive the overall growth and adoption of the Soneium protocol, ultimately strengthening its position within DeFi.

# Liquid Staking Tokens

Neemo Finance is a multi-chain multi-asset LST protocol. Currently, we support LST for Soneium. By depositing ASTR on Soneium, you can mint nsASTR. Use the minted nsASTR in Soneium DeFi protocols to maximize your LST earnings.

For a more detailed overview of nsASTR, check out the [nsASTR: Liquid Staking for Soneium & Astar Network](https://docs.neemo.finance/neemo/liquid-staking-tokens/nsastr-liquid-staking-for-soneium-and-astar-network) page.


# nsASTR: Liquid Staking for Soneium &  Astar Network

Neemo Finance offers liquid staking for Astar Network and Soneium. You can stake ASTR on Astar Network and/or Soneium and mint nsASTR in return. Use nsASTR freely in Soneium DeFi to maximize LST rewards.

## **About nsASTR**

nsASTR is a yield bering token that appreciates in value over time as it accrues staking rewards. This offers users the ability to earn staking rewards from Astar Network’s dApp staking while also having the ability to participate in Soneium DeFi applications for increased rewards.

## **Benefits of staking ASTR with Neemo Finance**

* **Optimized Rewards**: By utilizing a design optimized for Astar’s dApp staking, you can achieve the highest possible APR, currently around 20%. This includes both Bonus Rewards and Staking Rewards, maximizing returns. To achieve this, you must deposit yours assets for the full duration of both the Voting Subperiod and the Build & Earn Subperiod. You have to lock your ASTR for 111 + 11 era (days) in Neemo to maximize rewards. You require a waiting period of 10 to 132 days to maximize your rewards
* **Instant** **Withdraw:**&#x20;
  * Users can receive optimized rewards while having the flexibility to redeem nsASTR for ASTR at any time through Instant withdraw. Instant withdraw allows users to access immediate liquidity on their unstaked ASTR without waiting for the standard unbonding period. Instead of going through the usual withdrawal process, users can instantly redeem their holdings by paying a small fee. This mechanism is made possible by reserving a portion of staked funds within the contract, creating a dedicated liquidity pool. When a user requests an Instant withdraw, no unstaking from dapp staking occurs. Instead, the withdrawn funds are sourced from the user-deposited liquidity pool or the existing liquidity primarily provided by Neemo. This feature is particularly beneficial for those who require immediate access to liquidity, ensuring flexibility and efficiency in asset management.
  * ex.

    Let’s assume a simplified scenario

    * Where 1 nsASTR = 1 ASTR.
    * The existing Instant withdraw Pool starts with 1M ASTR liquidity and 0 nsASTR.
    * The fee is set to 0

    When a user withdraws nsASTR

    1. The user withdraws 500k nsASTR to the contract.
    2. The contract sends 500k ASTR minus the withdrawal fee to the user.
    3. Final Instant withdraw contract state: 500k ASTR & 500k nsASTR remain in the pool.

    When a user deposits ASTR

    1. The user deposits 750k ASTR into the contract.
    2. The contract sends 500k nsASTR from the nsASTR liquidity in the pool and mints 250k nsASTR directly for the user by depositing into dAppStakingManagerL2, so the user receives 750k nsASTR.
    3. Final instant withdraw contract state: 1M ASTR & 0 nsASTR, restoring the initial state.

    if there is an excess deposit amount, it will be deposited into dAppStakingManagerL2 every era (dairy).This mechanism ensures an efficient balance between Instant withdraw liquidity and new minting, enabling seamless deposit and withdrawal operations while optimizing staking rewards. Additionally, it ensures non-custodial automatic liquidity management and replenishment, maintaining a decentralized and efficient system.
* **Standard withdraw:** Standard withdraw aligns with Astar’s dApp Staking, requiring a waiting period of 10 to 132 days. This ensures users receive full rewards, as skipping this process would result in a 5.61% reduction in bonus rewards. Thus our nsASTR reward is the highest.
* **DeFi** **Utilization**: Neemo’s nsASTR exists as a DeFi primitive. Therefore, it is expected to be utilized in DeFi protocols. We aim to increase the utility of nsASTR by collaborating with major DeFi protocols such as DEX, lending, perpetuals, yield optimizers, and yield splitting protocols. Check out our partners page: [Partners & Campaign Rewards](/neemo/campaigns/soneium-genesis-campaign/partners-and-campaign-rewards)
* **Participation in Campaigns**: Get a chance to participate in varying reward campaigns hosted by Neemo Finance: [Campaigns](/neemo/campaigns)
* **Weekly Loyalty Reward Payouts**: Get weekly Loyalty Rewards when you stake the minimum threshold ASTR with our Loyalty NFT. Your weekly rewards are paid out in nsASTR, automatically credited each Monday. Check it out: [Loyalty Program](/neemo/loyalty-program)
* **Native Staking/Unstaking**: You can stake/unstake ASTR/nsASTR on Soneium with one click. This approach offers you a stress-free experience when minting/redeeming nsASTR, simplifying the process and minimizing complexity across networks.
* **Parachain** **Staking:** You can even stake your ASTR on Neemo Finance from the parachain. This does not require any manual bridging and saves you from unnecessary gas fees and hassles! Check it out here: <https://app.neemo.finance/native-stake/astar>
* **Curator Vaults (Coming soon)**: Deposit nsASTR in automated Curator Vaults to maximize your LST earnings without manually managing your LST positions. Simply deposit nsASTR in a Vault of your choice, sit back and earn double-digit returns!&#x20;

* **Ethereum Mainnet:** Deposit ETH, wETH, eETH, weETH, stETH, or wstETH. Your assets are converted into weETH on [Ether.fi](http://Ether.fi), and nrETH is minted on Soneium.
* **Soneium Mainnet**: Coming soon

nrETH can be used in Soneium DeFi protocols to earn boosted [Ether.fi](http://Ether.fi) Points, Neemo Points, and additional rewards from partner platforms.

## Phase 2 Development (Feb-Mar)

### **Vault Integration**

Neemo is preparing to optimize user deposits on Neemo Finance by depositing all funds into EtherFi’s liquid vault. This ensures users do not miss out on EtherFi rewards. While this integration increases the unbonding time you benefit from Ether.fi rewards while maintaining Soneium exposure through the nrETH liquid token. Note that the Ether.fi vault offers attractive yields but comes with associated risks, such as impermanent loss and liquidation. Read more here : <https://app.ether.fi/liquid/eth>.

### Staking from Soneium to Ethereum Mainnet

Deposit ETH or wETH directly. The assets are transferred to Ethereum mainnet, staked on [Ether.fi](http://Ether.fi), and nrETH is minted on Soneium.

### **Withdrawals**&#x20;

You can withdraw nrETH using two methods:

* **Standard Withdrawal:** Burn your nrETH on Soneium. The assets are unstaked on Ethereum and returned to Soneium after the unbonding period.
* **Instant Withdrawal:** Burn nrETH and pay a small fee to receive instant ETH liquidity from Neemo’s maintained liquidity pools or through DEX swaps.

## **Why We Partnered with** [**Ether.fi**](http://Ether.fi)

[Ether.fi](http://Ether.fi) is the largest LRT protocol in the Ethereum ecosystem, with 8x the market size of its closest competitor. This partnership ensures:

* Access to a secure and reputable restaking service.
* Enhanced liquidity and reward opportunities for Soneium users.

> Did you know? You can use your nrETH in Soneium DeFi to earn 3x ether.fi points and 3x Neemo points! You also earn partner protocol rewards and incentives.

# Loyalty Program

Neemo Finance’s loyalty program has been designed to incentivize long-term commitment to the protocol. We offer the following rewards:

* **Weekly Loyalty Reward payouts**: These weekly rewards in the form of nsASTR—paid out to all eligible ASTR stakers who stake the minimum threshold amount and hold a Loyalty Badge NFT.
* **Neemo Points**: These are distributed to all nsASTR and nrETH stakers on Soneium mainnet. You receive 1 point per $1 of nsASTR or nrETH you mint on Soneium per week.
* **Partner Rewards & Points**: All nsASTR and nrETH stakers who deposit their tokens in Soneium DeFi protocols are eligible to receive supply/deposit rewards and incentives from all partner protocols. You can find the complete list of our partners in Our Partners page and their offered rewards and incentives in the [Partner Points](https://docs.neemo.finance/neemo/partner-points) page.
* Contract Address: 0x49EE4460128a2C79dbb858b8481cFe16B166F732

Details pertaining to our Loyalty Program and Rewards can be found in the following pages.


# Weekly Loyalty Rewards

<figure><img src="/files/wyv6WKkSoayGsw1NZQ4u" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Our Loyalty Program comprises of a tiered system that rewards based on the amount of ASTR staked. When you stake a higher amount, you move to a higher tier. And higher tiers get greater nsASTR payouts every Monday. In Season 1 of the Loyalty Program, Neemo Finance offers 50% of its dApp staking owner rewards during 2024. This is applicable for 2025 too!

You need to fulfill the following to be eligible for these rewards:

* Mint a a minimum of 5000 nsASTR on our app (not via dApp staking) and mint nsASTR once Soneium goes live. Remember that nsASTR is a yield-bearing token. Thus when you mint nsASTR, ensure that you exceed (or at least) match 5000 nsASTR. Else, you won't be eligible to receive the rewards.&#x20;
* Hold a Loyalty Badge NFT. More details about our Loyalty Badge NFTs in the [Loyalty Badge NFTs](https://docs.neemo.finance/neemo/loyalty-program/loyalty-badge-nfts) page here.
  * The UI will be updated on every Monday
* **You keep earning Loyalty Rewards regardless of where you use your nsASTR but the calculation will take the nsASTR amount into account.**

### **Staking Tiers**

Membership tiers are determined by both the staking period and the tier thresholds. Users will automatically advance to the next tier when they meet both the staking period requirement and the tier threshold.

* If you meet the Entry tier conditions and the staking period requirement but have not yet reached the tier threshold, you will advance to the next tier once the required amount is staked.
* If you reach the tier threshold but the staking period has not yet been completed, you will need to wait until the required period is met before advancing.

> Please note that your staking tier is subject to your nsASTR balance. And not ASTR balance. Since nsASTR is a yield-bearing token, its price gradually increases over time. Thus, ensure that your nsASTR value exceeds (or at least matches) the tier threshold else you won't be eligible for Loyalty Rewards.&#x20;

You can track staking tiers and thresholds on the Loyalty Program page [here](https://app.neemo.finance/loyalty).

For example:

* Once you stake a minimum of 5,000 ASTR, you enter the Entry tier. After 3 months have passed, you user will need to stake a minimum of 100,000 ASTR to advance to the Elite tier. This process continues similarly for higher tiers.
* Conversely, even if you start by staking 300,000 ASTR, it will still take 7 months to reach the Ultimate tier.

| Tier     | Staking period | Weight (Wt) | Tier Threshold |
| -------- | -------------- | ----------- | -------------- |
| Entry    | 0 month        | 1           | 5,000          |
| Standard | 1 month        | 1.49        | 10,000         |
| Elite    | 3 month        | 2.68        | 100,000        |
| Ultimate | 7 month        | 4.3         | 300,000        |

The overall rewards earned are based on the below formula.

Rt=R∗PtWt/ΣPtWt*Rt*=*R*∗*PtWt*/Σ*PtWt*

**R**: Total rewards for all ASTR staked in the Loyalty program for the period.

**Pt**: Percentage of the total staked ASTR in the tier.

**Wt**: Weight for the membership tier.

**Rt**: Rewards for the tier for the period.

### Loyalty Rewards Calculation When Using nsASTR in DeFi

If you use nsASTR in DeFi, you can still earn loyalty rewards, but the calculation will take the nsASTR amount into account.

* For example, if you provide liquidity with 100 nsASTR/100 ASTR on a DEX, only the 100 nsASTR will be eligible for loyalty rewards.
* In the case of lending, if 100 nsASTR is supplied, the entire 100 nsASTR will qualify for loyalty rewards.
  * However, if 100 nsASTR is used as collateral to borrow other assets, the borrowed asset amount will be deducted from the calculation.

The calculation is strictly based on the nsASTR amount.


# Loyalty Badge NFTs

We’re issuing a total of 500 Loyalty Badge NFTs to our users. These NFTs entitle their holders to receive 50% of the overall dApp staking owner rewards that Neemo Finance earns on the Astar Portal [here](https://portal.astar.network/astar/dapp-staking/dapp?dapp=0xb0369b70ab98dcd40188b6cf2b2b002d74e1c42a). You must stake your ASTR and achieve a tier to be eligible for these rewards. You need to stake at least 5K ASTR for the Entry Tier to earn rewards. Read more about staking tiers in the [Weekly Loyalty Rewards](https://docs.neemo.finance/neemo/loyalty-program/weekly-loyalty-rewards) page. If you don't stake ASTR and still hold the NFT, you will be at "No Tier" and will not be eligible for the rewards.

There are 2 ways to get these NFTs:

* **250 NFTs** will be whitelisted through campaigns with [Sonova](https://sonova.one/astar-zkevm/launchpad) and other partners and subsequently airdropped on AstarEVM. Protocols included:
  * Starlay Finance
  * Walkmon | TeamSoNoisy
  * Arthswap
  * Bonsai NFT Club
  * Sonova
* **250 NFTs** will be allocated to ASTR stakers after the mainnet launch:
  * The top stakers and
  * Random stakers who stake even 1 ASTR!
  * Remaining NFTs: campaign coming soon!

Note: The top stakers on Neemo Finance protocol will always be considered first for the NFTs!


# Neemo Points

Neemo points are points rewarded to nrETH/nsASTR holders. These points can be earned by either minting nrETH or nsASTR. Neemo point is calculated by $ value every day. They are shown on the [Neemo Dapp](https://app.neemo.finance/stake/astar) once you connect your wallet. These points will accrue in real time.​

### **Where will Neemo Points be displayed.**

They are shown on the [Neemo Dapp](https://app.neemo.finance/stake/astar) once you connect your wallet. These points will accrue in real time.​

### What can I do with Neemo Points

Neemo Points will be converted to NEEMO tokens upon TGE. We are planning to conduct our TGE in 2025.

### How to earn Neemo Points

The easiest way is to simply stake your ETH/ASTR on Neemo Finance. We continue to rollout our partnerships and integrations, we will implement programs for users to begin earning additional points for LP’ing into DeFi protocols that we integrate with, referring frens, quests to L2’s, etc. Please be aware that you will only continue to earn Neemo Points if your wallet is holding nrETH, nsASTR, or if you have followed one of the ecosystem paths that we have provided in our official [Integrations - Neemo Points](/neemo/neemo-points/integrations-neemo-points).

### Neemo Points Formula

You earn 1 point for every $1 worth of nsASTR or nrETH as basic point&#x20;

### Point multiplier

* [Soneium Genesis Campaign](/neemo/campaigns/soneium-genesis-campaign)
  * 3X points with liquidity provision with our partners [Integrations - Neemo Points](/neemo/neemo-points/integrations-neemo-points)
* Point multiplier with our partners
  * 3X points with liquidity provision with our partner DEXs and 2X points with other partners.

### Can I lose Neemo Points?

No, once you earn Neemo points you cannot lose them. You will continue to earn Neemo points even after using nrETH/nsASTR actively in [our partner's DeFi](/neemo/neemo-points/integrations-neemo-points) protocols. However, the amount of points you earn in realtime will fluctuate based on the nrETH/nsASTR balance in the pools when you utilize nrETH/nsASTR in Defi protocols.

### Neemo points from liquidity pools

Note that the weightage of nsASTR in nsASTR/ASTR pool and nrETH in nrETH/ETH pools will affect the realtime accrual of your Neemo points. For example, if the ratio of nsASTR in a pool reduces in relation to ASTR in the pool, the number of your Neemo points will reduce. However, since these fluctuations will happen continuously, you might need to manage your positions for maximum accrual. We might even add boosts to compensate for these fluctuations. For example, during Soneium Genesis campaign, we’re offering a 3x boost to Neemo points for all users who mint nsASTR or nrETH. Read more about Soneium Genesis in [Soneium Genesis](https://docs.neemo.finance/neemo/campaigns/soneium-genesis-campaign) page.

### Earning partner points

When you deposit nsASTR/nrETH in partner protocols, you also earn their rewards and incentives. To fully understand how those rewards and incentives work, please go through [Partner Points](https://docs.neemo.finance/neemo/partner-points) page.


# Integrations - Neemo Points

Users who provide liquidity and deposit in particular pools that the protocol has integrated have the opportunity to earn yield from those protocols, while still accruing Neemo points. Below is a breakdown of the pools supported along with a how to of how to deposit to ensure rewards are earned.

Current protocol integrations with points tracking

## QuickSwap&#x20;

Deposit nsASTR or nrETH to the nsASTR/ASTR or nrETH/ETH pools on QuickSwap to earn Neemo Points.&#x20;

Note that when you deposit to these liquidity pools, the actual Neemo points you earn will vary. This is because of the weightage of nsASTR in the nsASTR/ASTR pool *and/or* the weightage of nrETH in the nrETH/ETH pool.&#x20;

## Velodrome Finance&#x20;

Deposit nsASTR or nrETH to eligible nsASTR/ASTR or nrETH/ETH or nsASTR/BONSAI liquidity pools.

When you do, you earn Neemo Points. However, similar to QuickSwap, the points you earn are subject to the amount of nsASTR/nrETH are there in the pools. As the weightage of nsASTR in nsASTR/ASTR pool *and/or* the weightage of nrETH in nrETH/ETH pools can fluctuate, so can the number of Neemo Points you earn from depositing to these pools.&#x20;

## Untitled Bank&#x20;

Supply nsASTR or nrETH on Untitled Bank and earn Neemo points.&#x20;

Any nsASTR/nrETH used for borrowing will not be included in point calculations. For example, if you supply 100 nsASTR and borrow 50 nsASTR worth of ASTR, only the remaining 50 nsASTR will be eligible for Neemo points. Looping is permitted. Points will accrue based on the deposited collateral.

## Kyo Finance&#x20;

Deposit nsASTR or nrETH to eligible nsASTR/ASTR or nrETH/ETH liquidity pools on Kyo Finance.&#x20;

When you do, you earn Neemo Points. However, similar to QuickSwap, the points you earn are subject to the amount of nsASTR/nrETH are there in the pools. As the weightage of nsASTR in nsASTR/ASTR pool *and/or* the weightage of nrETH in nrETH/ETH pools can fluctuate, so can the number of Neemo Points you earn from depositing to these pools.&#x20;

## **Synstation**

Deposit nsASTR/nrETH to the protocol and you earn Neemo Points.&#x20;

## **Sonus**

Deposit nsASTR or nrETH to eligible nsASTR/ASTR or nrETH/ETH liquidity pools on Sonus. When you do, you earn Neemo Points. However, similar to QuickSwap, the points you earn are subject to the amount of nsASTR/nrETH are there in the pools. As the weightage of nsASTR in nsASTR/ASTR pool *and/or* the weightage of nrETH in nrETH/ETH pools can fluctuate, so can the number of Neemo Points you earn from depositing to these pools.&#x20;

## SoneX

Deposit nsASTR or nrETH to eligible nsASTR/ASTR or nrETH/ETH liquidity pools on SoneX. When you do, you earn Neemo Points. However, similar to QuickSwap, the points you earn are subject to the amount of nsASTR/nrETH are there in the pools. As the weightage of nsASTR in nsASTR/ASTR pool *and/or* the weightage of nrETH in nrETH/ETH pools can fluctuate, so can the number of Neemo Points you earn from depositing to these pools.&#x20;


# Partner Points

Neemo Finance’s LST and LRT can be used across all major DeFi protocols on Soneium. When you deposit nsASTR/nrETH into any of these partnered protocols, you earn:

* LP/Supply rewards: The rewards earned upon depositing/supplying in DeFi protocols such as lendings DEXes, perps, and so on.
* Points/incentives: Points/Incentives earned from the partner protocols.

Depending on which partner you deposit your nsASTR/nrETH to, you earn points. Check out [Our Partners](https://docs.neemo.finance/neemo/our-partners) page for a full list of all of our partners.

# Guides

Find all testnet and mainnet guides in the pages in this section. If you'd like us to create a specific guide, please let us know in our [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/Mv7a9sunXh).&#x20;


# How to Use Neemo Finance Mainnet: Astar EVM & Native

You can access Neemo mainnet on Astar EVM and Astar Native and participate in Timelocked Staking. When you stake your ASTR, you earn staking rewards, bonus rewards (from the 2 subperiods), and boosted rewards from our [Loyalty Program](broken://pages/0A0l4gGMKUTCLUp7IvZ8).&#x20;

## Step 1: Head to Neemo Finance App <a href="#cf86" id="cf86"></a>

Head to the app [here](https://app.neemo.finance/stake/astar). Click on “Connect Wallet”. You can use any wallet of your choice for this. Once you have connected your wallet, you can select the amount of ASTR that you wish to stake.

<figure><img src="/files/1c7N3zAC98s7EN9AQRhU" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## Step 2: Enter the amount you wish to stake.  <a href="#id-8299" id="id-8299"></a>

Enter the amount you wish to stake. Ensure that you have a little amount for gas saved up in your wallet. Click on "Stake". Approve the request in your wallet.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/2O4cbY1ASrOESDbhsUGy" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## Step 3: Check your nsASTR balance in the left pane.  <a href="#d608" id="d608"></a>

You can check how much ASTR you've staked in the left pane. You can either stake more or create withdrawal requests.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/Qj6GQ77cVLVE86IErLqv" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## Step 4: Initiate withdrawal request <a href="#id-53f9" id="id-53f9"></a>

When you stake your assets they get Timelocked for the entire 121-day period for both the Voting and Build\&Earn Subperiods. While you cannot instantly withdraw your assets, you can initiate Withdrawal Requests.

To do that, toggle the “Withdraw” tab. Enter the amount you wish to unstake. &#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/0oeyUB0u4AmeSZ9sb32e" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Click on “Withdraw”. Once you have initiated the withdrawal request, it will reflect in the “Pending Requests” queue. You can decide to alter the withdrawal amount or cancel any of the requests. Use the slider to do it!

<figure><img src="/files/Id1ZERPX1TDSmVgibaPN" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

To stake and/or withdraw your ASTR on Native, follow the same process.&#x20;

The best part? You earn staking rewards even after you have submitted the unstaking request!


# How to mint nsASTR from Astar EVM (L1) to Soneium Mainnet (L2)

If you have already staked your ASTR on Astar EVM, you can mint nsASTR on Soneium. Here’s a quick step-by-step guide on how to do it.

#### Step 1: Head to the app. <a href="#step-1-head-to-the-app" id="step-1-head-to-the-app"></a>

Head to app.neemo.finance. Connect your wallet. If you’ve already staked ASTR, you’ll get an option to mint on L2 in the left pane.

<figure><img src="https://docs.neemo.finance/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F2828566308-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F8QSBT78gKM3ctKGnGMt8%252Fuploads%252F98FF1unqzzerRMgpRKtg%252Fimage.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3D5bd48f3d-a075-4422-af4b-e60feb18b7df&#x26;width=768&#x26;dpr=4&#x26;quality=100&#x26;sign=6f11493a&#x26;sv=2" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### Step 2: Mint nsASTR on Minato. <a href="#step-2-mint-nsastr-on-minato" id="step-2-mint-nsastr-on-minato"></a>

Click on “Mint on L2” button to begin the minting process. Approve the request in your wallet. It takes about 5-10 minutes for the minting process to go through.

<figure><img src="https://docs.neemo.finance/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F2828566308-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F8QSBT78gKM3ctKGnGMt8%252Fuploads%252FjMVOXQ89XLx6ibzxK7sN%252Fimage.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3D9185f5e5-155d-4b4a-9c12-6806dd212f3c&#x26;width=768&#x26;dpr=4&#x26;quality=100&#x26;sign=6b43c337&#x26;sv=2" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### Step 3: Switch to Soneium Network. <a href="#step-3-switch-to-soneium-network" id="step-3-switch-to-soneium-network"></a>

Now, you must switch to Soneium Network to see the nsASTR in your wallet. Select the Soneium network from the dropdown in the top-right.

# How to check my Loyalty Rewards

Here's a quick guide on how you can check the amount of rewards you've earned from our Loyalty Program. Note that these rewards are distributed in nsASTR at the end of each week.&#x20;

Remember that you earn Loyalty Program rewards only when you:&#x20;

* Stake a minimum of 5K ASTR to achieve the Entry Tier, and&#x20;
* Hold a [Loyalty Badge NFT](broken://pages/jlbj36qkvY5fQy5VtTAx)

You can stake either on Astar EVM or Astar Native.&#x20;

### Step 1: Head to the app.&#x20;

Head to app.neemo.finance. Connect your wallet. If you have already staked your ASTR and achieved a tier, your rewards will reflect in the left pane.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/C0lDVCgXTygyDjdnDT7u" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Step 2: Check your rewards on the Loyalty Program page.&#x20;

Head to the [Loyalty Program page](https://app.neemo.finance/loyalty). Connect your wallet. You can check all the previous rewards that you have earned in the past.&#x20;

# How to Use Soneium Minato Testnet

We’re excited for you to mint our nsASTR on Soneium’s Minato Network. You can mint the nsASTR on Minato via two ways:

1. Deposit on testnet L1 chain, which in this case is Shibuya.
2. Deposit on testnet L2 chain, which in this case is Minato.

In either case, you deposit your ASTR token from the chain of your choice, and mint nsASTR on Minato.

Here’s a quick guide on how to mint nsASTR from both the chains. Let’s dive in.

### How to mint nsASTR from Minato

#### Step 1: Get Sepolia ETH. Bridge to Soneium Minato.

As a first step, you need to get Sepolia ETH. And bridge it to Minato. Here’s how to do it.

Head to the [Alchemy faucet](https://www.alchemy.com/faucets/ethereum-sepolia). Enter your wallet address. And click on “Send me ETH”.

<figure><img src="/files/J2BxWnOJWMhTApgpG5ei" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Check your wallet to confirm receipt of Sepolia ETH.

Now, head to the [Soneium-Minato Bridge](https://bridge.soneium.org/en/testnet). Connect your wallet. And transfer the desired amount of ETH.

<figure><img src="/files/5bAnHxMyLK0qvapxkdOT" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Now you have ETH in your wallet to process transactions on Minato.

#### Step 2: Get testnet ASTR from faucet.

Head to the Neemo Finance app. Click on “Faucet” in the top-left corner of the screen.

<figure><img src="/files/W5pzdQ0bKcGb0b1PNtHH" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Click on "ASTR on Minato".&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/PX1POgfkhsJAfIeXKrcr" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### The requested ASTR will be added to your wallets! Remember to collect some ETH on Minato as well for gas.&#x20;

#### Step 3: Stake your ASTR.

Head to the Neemo Finance [app](https://testnet.neemo.finance/l2-stake/astar). Select the “Minato” network from the top-right dropdown.

Enter the amount that you wish to stake. And then click on the “Stake” button to process your stake.

Once done, click on “Add nsASTR to MetaMask” button in the bottom-right corner. This will add the nsASTR to your MetaMask wallet.

Congratulations, now you have minted your nsASTR on MetaMask!

### How to mint nsASTR from Shibuya

You can mint nsASTR by directly depositing SBY on Shibuya, which is testnet L1 for Astar Network. Note, however, that on our app your SBY tokens are treated as ASTR tokens. In the back-end, we simply treat your ASTR as SBY. This allows you to test out liquid staking on Shibuya!

Let’s understand how you can stake ASTR on Shibuya chain.

#### Step 1: Collect testnet SBY.

Head to the Neemo Finance [app](https://testnet.neemo.finance/stake/astar). Connect your wallet. Click on the “Faucet” in the top-left corner of the screen.

<figure><img src="/files/Ngx84vNSpZmxr80JAp8w" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### Step 2: Stake your ASTR/SBY.

Remember that on the app, we treat your SBY tokens as ASTR. So instead of SBY, you’ll see ASTR.

<figure><img src="/files/ENzthVASCviTRQIns8cY" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Enter the amount of ASTR/SBY you wish to stake. Select how you want the nsASTR to be minted on Soneium Minato.

You can select between:

* Lazy Mint, and
* Instant Mint

With Instant Mint, you’ll see the nsASTR tokens added to your MetaMask instantly. Note that to access those tokens, you’ll need to switch to Minato Network.

Once the transaction is processed, you can verify that nsASTR tokens have been added to your wallet.
