Platform FAQ
1) How do I use the platform?
To get started, purchase a panel through the Buy Panel page. Once purchased, you can stake your panel at a selected facility to begin earning rewards. You will periodically receive CDATA and CWATT rewards, which can be converted to CPIN or PEAQ tokens through the Convert page.
2) Which wallets are supported?
The CPIN platform currently supports MetaMask and WalletConnect.
3) How do I buy panels?
Follow these steps to purchase panels: a) Navigate to the Buy Panel page. b) Select the number of panels you wish to purchase. c) Choose the token you would like to use for payment. d) Click Buy and approve the transaction in your connected wallet.
4) Do I earn rewards if I don’t stake my panels?
No. Panels must be staked in a facility to start earning rewards.
5) Do panels expire after a certain period?
Yes. Panels are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. After 12 months, the panel expires and will no longer generate rewards.
6) What is the difference between CDATA and CWATT?
CDATA represents rewards earned from the data points generated by your panels.
CWATT represents rewards earned from the electricity production of your panels.
7) Why do my CDATA and CWATT rewards vary over time?
Electricity generation fluctuates throughout the day, leading to variations in CWATT rewards. Similarly, CDATA rewards may change as new data points are generated from additional panels being purchased and staked in the network.
8) Can I buy or sell CDATA and CWATT?
No. CDATA and CWATT are non-tradable assets. They are earned exclusively through panel ownership and can only be converted into another token, such as CPIN or PEAQ.
9) Why does the APR differ between regions?
Each region has different operational costs and energy production levels, which impact reward rates. As a result, some regions may offer higher APRs than others.
10) Can I unstake my panels and move them to another region?
Yes. You can unstake your panels at any time and restake them in another facility of your choice. This flexibility allows you to optimize your rewards based on regional performance.
