Jiko : Where Liquid Staking Meets PvP Glory

Jiko is a DeFi-native Game, offering users the option to engage through two distinct paths:

• Game Route – For those who enjoy the thrill of gameplay and earning through in-game mechanics.

• DeFi Route – For users who prefer a more DeFi experience, combining staking, yield farming, and capital optimization with a competitive twist.

It’s the first NFT staking game on Berachain, merging Liquid Staking + CDP + PvP—and turning engagement into real value.

Jiko is not just a staking protocol — it's a bold experiment at the intersection of decentralized finance and competitive gaming. By integrating liquid staking, CDPs (collateralized debt positions), and gamification, Jiko transforms passive financial activities into a dynamic player-versus-player (PvP) experience. Built natively on Berachain, it introduces a new era where financial acumen and PvP strategy work hand-in-hand.

Jiko Staking

To fully understand Jiko, it helps to compare it with existing DeFi systems:

1. CDPs (Collateralized Debt Positions) 🧱

CDPs allow users to lock assets as collateral and mint a loan (often in stablecoins) & Token Liquid Staking (illiquid LST). To unlock assets, the loan + LST + interest must be repaid.

✅ Pros:

• Provides liquidity to user (leverage)

❌Cons:

• Interest-bearing loan

• No yield or farming benefits

• High liquidation risk

• LST doesn’t has utilities

2. Traditional DeFi Staking

Standard staking provides passive rewards but locks in liquidity and limits capital flexibility.

✅ Pros:

• No liquidation risk

• Accumulates yield over time

❌Cons:

• Locked liquidity

• Inflation

• LST doesn’t have utilities

Standard staking provides passive rewards but locksin liquidity and limits capital flexibility.

3. Jiko Hybrid Staking:

Jiko staking is a hybrid between CDP (Collateralized Debt Position) and DeFi staking, designed to boost capital efficiency.

• When you stake assets on Jiko, you mint aSUGAR - a liquid, tradable LST token that acts as both collateral and liquidity, similar to a loan in the CDP model.

• You also receive a farmed aSUGAR loan upfront, based on the projected yield your stake will generate over time.

This structure allows you to earn yield through farming while maintaining capital flexibility and unlocking in-game utility.

📊 Comparison Table

Feature	CDP	Traditional Staking	Jiko
Deposit Type	Single Asset	Single Asset	Multiple Assets
Output	Loan + Illiquid LST	Illiquid LST + Yield Reward	Minted aSUGAR (Liquid LST) + Farmed aSUGAR (Yield)
Tradability	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes
Reward Type	None	Passive APY	Upfront APY Loan
Unlock Condition	Repay Loan + LST + Interest	Unstake LST	Repay minted aSUGAR + farmed aSUGAR
Liquidation Risk	❌ High	✅ None	✅ Low
Inflation	❌ No	✅ Yes	❌ No
Deflation method	❌ No	❌ No	Buy back & burn 🔥

✅ Strengths Combined in Jiko:

• aSUGAR is liquid and usable within the Beraji ecosystem

• Yield is provided upfront, increasing capital efficiency

❌ Eliminated Cons:

• 0% interested

• Low liquidation risk (7 days of >50% collateral drop < 50%)

In essence, Jiko fuses the capital flexibility of CDPs with the yield efficiency of staking - while reducing risk and enabling DeFi-powered gameplay.
