Syrup Pool FAQ & Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
I can't find the Syrup Pool I was staking in!
You should be able to find the Syrup Pool under the “Finished” tab on the Syrup Pools page.
By selecting “Staked Only”, it will make it easier to find your assets.
Why can’t I unstake my tokens from a Syrup Pool?
If you are unable to unstake from the Stake DEFC, Earn DEFC pools, please check to make sure that you haven’t sold the SYRUP tokens in your wallet. This token acts as a proof of ownership over your DEFC in the Manual DEFC pool.
Why did my earned tokens go to zero after staking/unstaking?
Don’t worry! They’re in your wallet already.
Whenever you stake or unstake from a Syrup Pool or farm, your earned tokens get harvested and sent to your wallet at the same time.
General Questions
How is APR for Syrup Pools calculated?
Syrup Pool APR = Annualized rewards (USD) / User funds staked in Syrup Pool (USD) * 100
As a basic example, let's take a 60-day pool with 300,000 USD worth of rewards, and 3,000,000 USD worth of DEFC staked in it.
The APR fluctuates as more DEFC is staked by users, and as the price of DEFC, and the reward token, vary.

What does the “End” number on my Syrup Pool refer to?
This shows the amount of blocks left until the rewards for that pool stop being distributed. Once the pool has reached that block, you should unstake your tokens, because you won’t be receiving any rewards after that.
Where do the rewards from Syrup Pools come from?
There are three main types of Syrup Pools.
Stake DEFC, earn DEFC.
Stake DEFC, earn other tokens.
Stake other tokens, earn DEFC.
The rewards for the "Stake DEFC, earn DEFC " Syrup Pools come from the DEFC emissions. Each block, a number of DEFC tokens are allocated as rewards for these pools.
The rewards for the "Stake DEFC, earn other tokens" type are provided by the project teams who sponsor a Syrup Pool.
For the "Stake other tokens, earn DEFC " type, the DefiSwap treasury buys back DEFC from the market to distribute as rewards. These pools are funded by DefiSwap, not by the projects themselves.
What’s SYRUP Token?
DefiSwap’s SYRUP Token is deposited in your wallet when you interact with the Manual “Stake DEFC, Earn DEFC” Syrup Pool. It's not staked for
It’s basically an IOU that shows how much DEFC you’ve staked in the pool.
It’ll be returned automatically when you unstake your DEFC from that pool.
Don’t sell your SYRUP tokens! You need to return your SYRUP to unstake your DEFC from the Manual DEFC pool. The amount of SYRUP you return must be the same as the amount of DEFC you unstake.
