The reasoning behind having a lower APR is because if the APR was higher, I have a feeling it would completely take everyone away from the single-sided staking of PulseX that doesnt require a time lock because people are going to chase the highest return, etc
However, a lower APR might not be a bad thing, if the token that stakers are being rewarded with, is pulsechain. I think it’s common knowledge that pulse is going to have a great long term price chart. Although the APR might be lower, the potential return on the rewards being given in pulse, could be astronomical after holding for X amount of time.
To make this even better, we could make it to where no one is allowed to harvest any of their earned pulse, until 50% of their stake time has been reached.
Or we could give users the option on what their APR would be depending on how long they want to stake, and how long they want to prevent themselves from harvesting their rewarded pulse, etc.
This would be a single sided staking feature that’s more so encouraging delayed gratification while also preventing too much sell pressure on both PulseX and Pulsechain. :)
