Implementing staking rewards

So I am building a contract which allows users to deposit my ERC20 token into it and for doing so I want them to be rewarded every 24 hours with a 5% reward based on their holdings.

So I have added a ‘stake’ function to my contract which works perfectly.

function stake(uint256 amount) public {
staker[msg.sender].amountStaked = staker[msg.sender].amountStaked.add(amount);
stakeToken.transferFrom(msg.sender, address(this), amount);
}

Is it possible to reward ‘stakers’ every 24 hours based on their total ‘staked’? Maybe some sort of function which updates their rewards if they stake again or withdraw.

Thanks

Emmm, maybe you can record the time when user deposits asset, and then uses this timestamp to calculate the reward amount.

Hi @lotte1,

Welcome to the community :wave:

You could create a function to distribute rewards and then automate calling this function every 24 hours. You could also use OpenZeppelin Defender Autotasks to automate calling a function. (https://docs.openzeppelin.com/defender/autotasks).

Alternatively you could create a function to distribute rewards that rewards the account calling it if there are rewards to distribute, to incentivize your community.
