Overview

Page: https://lookintomaxi.com/solo/

This page offers a detailed comparison between pool tokens and solo staking, highlighting key metrics such as APY performance, gas savings, and other critical factors. It provides users with the information needed to decide whether to invest in pool tokens or stake HEX directly, helping them optimize their staking strategy.

Key Benefits

• Gas Savings: Pool tokens consistently show significant financial advantages over solo staking by providing substantial gas savings across all metrics.

• Higher Performance: Depending on the market price of the pool token, staking through pool tokens can result in higher APYs and lower costs per T-share compared to solo staking.

Comparison Metrics

APY in $

Compares the APY in USD for pool tokens versus solo staking, factoring in end-stake gas costs. This metric enables users to assess the expected returns from each staking method realistically.

APY calculations are also shown for various investment levels ($100, $1k, $10k, $100k), illustrating how gas fees can impact returns based on the size of the stake.

Cost per T-Share

Evaluates the cost per T-share for both pool tokens and solo staking, helping users identify the most cost-effective option for acquiring T-shares.

HEX Required per T-Share

Shows the amount of HEX needed to obtain one T-share, allowing users to compare the resource requirements of each staking approach.

System T-Share Rate

Compares the system T-share rates between pool tokens and solo staking, offering insights into the relative "staking difficulty" at the outset of each stake cycle.
