# How it works - Mechanism

## **🔗 Staking Method & Mechanism: Powering Clean Infrastructure with RCF 🌍⚡**

RecycleFarm Infra Staking enables participants to **convert RCF holdings into tangible environmental impact and financial returns** by funding **solar farms and DAC facilities**. Here’s how it works:

***

### **1️⃣ Locking RCF Tokens 🔐📥**

* Users **stake (lock) RCF tokens** into an **Infra Staking pool** designated for a specific project (e.g., a new solar farm or DAC plant).
* Staking occurs **via smart contracts**, ensuring **secure, verifiable, and transparent recording** of each participant’s contribution.

***

### **2️⃣ Project Funding & Construction 🏗️☀️**

* The **staked RCF (or its monetary equivalent)** is used to **fund, build, or expand clean infrastructure projects**.
* **Solar Farm:** Covers **equipment, installation, and operational costs** to generate renewable energy.
* **DAC Facility:** Supports the **construction and operation of CO₂ capture units**, directly reducing atmospheric carbon.

***

### **3️⃣ Revenue Generation 💰⚡**

Once operational, these green assets start generating income:

* **🔆 Solar Farm:**
  * Electricity sales **to the grid or private buyers**
  * Potential **carbon credit revenue** for emissions offset
* **💨 DAC Facility:**
  * **Carbon credit sales** from verified CO₂ removal
  * Additional operational revenue (e.g., CO₂ resale for industrial use)

***

### **4️⃣ Reward Distribution 🎁📤**

* Revenue from each infrastructure project flows into a **staking rewards pool**.
* At **predefined intervals (monthly or quarterly)**, stakers receive a **percentage of the net income**, proportional to their stake size.
* Rewards can be **distributed in RCF tokens, stablecoins, or another designated format** depending on the project’s structure.

***

### **5️⃣ Lock-up & Unstaking ⏳🔓**

* Each **Infra Staking pool has a fixed lock-up period** (e.g., **6–36 months**) to ensure project stability.
* **During the lock-up, stakers earn yield** but cannot withdraw their principal.
* Once the **lock-up expires**, stakers can **unstake their tokens or receive an equivalent value**, subject to platform conditions.

***

### **6️⃣ Smart Contract & Governance 🛡️📜**

* All staking and reward transactions **operate via a transparent, on-chain mechanism** for security and accountability.
* Investors can **track project progress, revenue data, and staking pools in real-time**.
* **Community governance** may allow stakeholders to **vote on major decisions** related to project expansions or reinvestment strategies.
