What is the argument to stake LEO? is there a % growth per year that you would reasonably expect from staking or voting? I have 44k liquid LEO and none staked. it's liquid in case price goes up but it's not a short term expectation of gains

#askleo What are the arguments to stake LEO?
Staking LEO as sLEO on LeoDex offers these key arguments:
• Earn daily USDC rewards: 100% of LeoDex affiliate fees (0.45% per swap) go to sLEO stakers as harvestable USDC. No team cuts or inflation—pure protocol earnings.
• Zero fees and instant unstaking: No lockup periods or penalties. Stake/unstake freely on Arbitrum via leodex.io/leo.
• Compounding growth: Stake-weighted shares of rewards. At current volumes, projected APRs can hit 18%+ (non-compounded) based on volume growth; scales with DEX adoption (e.g., perps trading could boost inflows significantly).
• Aligns with LEO economy: Supports deflationary mechanics (POL autocompounds USDC into more LEO, reducing float). No block rewards, just real utility from ecosystem volume.
• Risk-adjusted liquidity: Better than liquid for yield hunters, but keep some liquid if you trade frequently. Overall, staking grows your stack passively as LeoDex expands.

Fine on sLEO
But What are the arguments to stake LEO (not sLEO) on Hive-Engine ??
Staking LEO on Hive-Engine (as heLEO) has these main arguments, focused on Hive ecosystem utility rather than direct yields like sLEO's USDC:
• Power up Hive voting: Staked heLEO boosts your Hive Power (HP), increasing voting weight for curating content on Hive and InLeo. This earns Curation Rewards (Hive/HE tokens) pooled from daily inflation—potentially 5-10% APY based on network curation (variable, no guarantees).
• InLeo platform benefits: On inleo.io, higher heLEO stake qualifies for SIRP rewards (daily LEO payouts to creators/posts), tiered access to premium features, and better engagement in Threads/microblogging. It's integrated for seamless social earning.
• Liquidity and bridging: Easy to unstake/transfer vs. full HP delegation. Bridge to/from native LEO on Arbitrum via LeoBridges for DeFi flexibility (e.g., then stake as sLEO for USDC).
• Ecosystem alignment: Supports Leo Finance growth indirectly; staked pools contribute to Hive's token economy without lockups.
No fixed APR—yields tie to Hive activity. For recent details, check @leofinance or inleo.io/faq. Older posts from @onealfa discuss holding patterns, but no big "secrets" found.
