Intro

If you are a holder of LTO tokens, you can earn passive income by running a node yourself, or by 'leasing' your tokens to an existing node. Leasing is basically lending out the LTO tokens you hold in your wallet to a wallet that belongs to a LTO node. In this scenario, you are not transferring your tokens to another wallet; you still have full control over your tokens. You can end your lease at any time (Tokens will be locked for 3,000 blocks (approx. 2 days) after ending a lease. During this period the tokens can't be spent or transferred, and do not count towards staking).

Please note that in order to lease, you will need to have LTO MAINNET tokens. If you purchased your LTO during the crowd-sale or from an exchange, you are holding ERC-20 tokens (or if you purchased your $LTO from the Binance DEX, you have $LTO-BEP2 tokens).

To convert to LTO MAINNET tokens, a 10 $LTO Fee is taken by the Bridge Troll.

The process of converting from ERC-20 (or BEP2) to MAINNET is explained on our LEASING page.

Rewards

The LTO Network will assign the creation of blocks on their blockchain based on the size of the stake (the amount of $LTO staked on the node) a node holds in relation to the total active stake in the network at that time. Rewards for a node depend not only on the amount of nodes active on the blockchain and their stake, but it also depends on the amount of transactions available for processing.

Rewards; The new tokenomics model resembles the model of Solana. For each block, a certain amount of tokens are minted. This amount will decrease over time. Minting is offset by burning transaction fees. 50% of the fees are burned, the other 50% are given as mining reward.
Tokens will be locked for 3,000 blocks (approx. 2 days) after ending a lease. During this period the tokens can't be spent or transferred, and do not count towards staking.
Transaction fees are stabilized with regards to the token price in USD. Nodes act as oracles, voting on increasing or decreasing the fees when mining a block.

Yearly Return On Investment (ROI) is around 15-20%. ROI figures are all reported in our Google Transparency sheet.

At the end of August 2022, total transactions on LTO's network were around 326,227 transactions a week (1.4M transactions a month). Currently (03-Dec-2022), just over 138.9M (around 31% of circulating supply of $LTO) tokens are staked (leased) on the network.

You can follow LTO transactions live on this page.
LTOleasing will distribute 95%* of the $LTO rewards to our lessors:

  • We will share 95%* of the $LTO rewards with our lessors.
  • We pay out weekly, after every 10,250 blocks (which is about 7 days).
  • Minimum amount of $LTO tokens needed for leasing: 125**.
  • Transfer fees (for reward payments) are absorbed by us.
  • Automatic payouts with mass transfers, all traceable on the blockchain (see our Payments page).

*) For leasers with 50,000 $LTO (or more) in total leased, we will share 97% of the $LTO rewards (starting after block 1,800,550). The remaining percentage is to cover our cost: hardware, software, transfer fees, internet connectivity and administrative costs.
**) The minimum amount of $LTO tokens needed for leasing of 125 is per address, not per lease.

Please note that:
a) There is a 10 $LTO fee if converting from ERC-20 or $LTO-BEP2 to LTO mainnet tokens, so at an APR of 6% you would need to lease 1,000 $LTO for 2 months to 'earn' that fee back.
b) If you already have mainnet $LTO tokens, starting a lease will incur a 1 $LTO fee, so leasing 250 $LTO will 'earn' you the 1 $LTO transaction fee back in 1 month (at an APR of 6%).

Leasing

To be able to lease out your tokens, you would first need to have LTO MAINNET tokens. If you purchased your $LTO on an exchange, you got ERC-20 tokens (or if you purchased your $LTO from the Binance DEX, you have $LTO-BEP2 tokens). These tokens need to be moved to LTO MAINNET using the Bridge function in the LTO wallet. The first step is to create a LTO Network Wallet: https://wallet.lto.network/

First you'll need to create a new account:

Write down your seed words on a piece of paper which you can store somewhere safe. It's not recommended to save this phrase digitally.

Next you'll have to verify your seed words by entering them in the right order.

To see the details of your wallet (address, public/private key and backup phrase), select Settings from the left side bar menu:

When you are logged into your wallet, select Bridge from the left side bar menu to start the transfer of your ERC-20 (or BEP2) tokens to MAINNET Tokens.

Convert your ERC-20 (or BEP2) tokens to MAINNET Tokens. A one-time fee of 10 $LTO is required for this conversion.

Please note that if you want to trade your $LTO tokens at a later stage, you would have to convert your tokens back from MAINNET Tokens to ERC-20 (or BEP2) Tokens. The costs for the Bridge Troll are 10 $LTO.

Once you click Next as indicated on the above screen, you'll receive an address where to send your ERC-20 (or BEP2) tokens so that they will be converted and placed in your wallet as MAINNET LTO Tokens.

To start leasing your tokens select Leasing from the left side bar menu.

After clicking on the Start Lease button, enter the number of tokens you want to lease, and enter our Node address in the recipient box: 3JmcAJMQhdLKj296xoDkng9r1McCmBSFiEX

Please note there is a 1 $LTO transfer fee, so you can lease x - 1 of your $LTO balance.
Check here for the terms & conditions.

Once you click the Start lease button, your lease will be registered with our node, but keep in mind that it will take 1000 blocks* before a new lease becomes active. We will update your details as soon as possible on our Google Transparency sheet.

*) 1000 blocks takes around 16-17 hours.

You can cancel your lease at any time by clicking the Cancel Lease below your active leased tokens.
